Study suggests revisiting 14-day limit on human embryo in a dish

An international team of bioethicists and scientists, led by a researcher at Case Western Reserve University, contends it may be justified to go beyond the standing 14-day limit that restricts how long researchers can study human embryos in a dish.

Study demonstrates the impact of 'reverse antibiotic' on gram-negative bacteria

Scientists from Skoltech and MSU have investigated antibiotic nybomycin that could prove effective against bacteria resistant to other antibiotics. Their research was published in the journal Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy.

SARS-CoV-2 can evade immune response by T-killer cells through mutations

The body's immune response plays a crucial role in the course of a SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition to antibodies, the so-called T-killer cells, are also responsible for detecting viruses in the body and eliminating them.

Pancreatitis drug blocks SARS-CoV-2 activators in the upper respiratory tract

Pancreatitis drug Camostat inhibits new SARS-CoV-2 activators identified in the upper respiratory tract. There are no therapeutics available that have been developed for COVID-19 treatment.

Researchers decipher how interspecies interactions arise, evolve and are maintained

Interspecies interactions are the foundation of ecosystems, from soil to ocean to the human gut. Among the many different types of interactions, syntrophy is a particularly important and mutually beneficial interspecies interaction where one partner provides a chemical or nutrient that is consumed by the other in exchange for a reward.

Proteomics analysis from aggressive human cancers can help identify potential therapeutic targets

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine show that analysis of the proteomics, or all the protein data, from aggressive human cancers is a useful approach to identify potential novel therapeutic targets.

SARS-CoV-2-derived mutant peptides hamper T cells' ability to recognize and destroy infected cells

A deep sequencing study of 747 SARS-CoV-2 virus isolates has revealed mutant peptides derived from the virus that cannot effectively bind to critical proteins on the surface of infected cells and, in turn, hamper activation of CD8+ killer T cells that recognize and destroy these infected cells.

Researchers develop first wearable device to precisely monitor jaundice in newborns

Researchers in Japan have developed the first wearable devices to precisely monitor jaundice, a yellowing of the skin caused by elevated bilirubin levels in the blood that can cause severe medical conditions in newborns.

Combining terpenes and cannabidiol may be highly active against human coronaviruses

A group of researchers from a well-known technology company in Israel showed a significant antiviral effect of a combination of terpenes and cannabidiol against a human coronavirus strain 229E. This exciting and first-of-its-kind report is currently available on the bioRxiv preprint server.
