Space conditions disrupt rhythmic function of bioengineered heart tissues

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists who arranged for 48 human bioengineered heart tissue samples to spend 30 days at the International Space Station report evidence that the low gravity conditions in space weakened the tissues and disrupted their normal rhythmic beats when compared to earth-bound samples from the same source.

The role of CRISPR-Cas9 in combating mosquito-borne diseases

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. As global warming increases, mosquito activity areas are expanding, alongside changes in the natural environment and the misuse of insecticides, thus further increasing mosquito resistance and exposing the world to an elevated risk of mosquito-borne diseases.

Enhanced TnpB protein offers new possibilities for gene editing

CRISPR-Cas is used broadly in research and medicine to edit, insert, delete or regulate genes in organisms. TnpB is an ancestor of this well-known "gene scissor" but is much smaller and thus easier to transport into cells.

Study reveals anti-tumor properties of food antigens

Researchers led by Hiroshi Ohno at the RIKEN Center for Integrative medical sciences (IMS) in Japan have discovered that food antigens like milk proteins help keep tumors from growing in our guts, specifically the small intestines.

Mediterranean diet during pregnancy reduces childhood obesity risk

Following a Mediterranean diet during pregnancy reduced the likelihood of children being overweight or obese by age two, with no cases of obesity in the diet group. The diet’s influence on the leptin gene may explain these effects.

Dietary antigens reduce small intestine cancer by boosting immune T-cells

Study shows that dietary antigens can suppress small intestine carcinogenesis by activating T-cells through Peyer's patches. Adding bovine serum albumin (BSA) or ovalbumin (OVA) to antigen-free diets restored immune function and reduced tumor growth in mice.

Lipid metabolism plays a critical role in red blood cell recovery from acute anemia

Red blood cells are the most abundant cells in the body. It has long been known that when red blood cells break down or anemia occurs due to bleeding, the hormone erythropoietin (EPO) increases, leading to the proliferation of immature cells (erythroblasts) that eventually become red blood cells, thus restoring the red blood cell count.

Hypothalamic ECM remodeling drives insulin resistance, contributing to obesity and diabetes

Researchers have discovered that remodeling of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the hypothalamus, specifically around AgRP neurons, drives insulin resistance and metabolic disease. Disrupting this ECM buildup improves insulin sensitivity and may be a promising treatment for obesity and diabetes.

Study reveals MYC gene's role in prostate cancer initiation and progression

By tracking the changes in prostate cancer cells over time, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have found that activation of the MYC gene -; a well-known cancer-causing gene -; sets off a cascade of events that leads to both initiation and progression of the disease.

Researchers identify bacterial strains to combat antibiotic-resistant gut infections

Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections often occur in patients with chronic inflammatory intestinal conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, and in patients who have taken antibiotics for a long time.
