First pharmacological treatment option for patients with a severe form of epilepsy

Epilepsy comes in a variety of forms. Those affected by a genetically de- termined variety have severe epileptic seizures as early as the first year of life.

Early implementation of COVID-19 shutdowns saved thousands of lives in St. Louis area

In March 2020, not long after the first cases of COVID-19 were reported locally, health officials in the city of St. Louis and St. Louis County issued emergency public health orders intended to reduce interactions between people and slow the transmission of the novel respiratory virus.

Study shows bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine can protect mice against lethal SARS-CoV-2 challenge

A recent US study, currently available on bioRxiv* preprint server, implies that vaccination with bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) can limit the infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by targeting innate immune pathways and could thus be used as a platform for pinpointing early immunologic events affecting the outcome of coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

New candidate vaccine for COVID-19 found to be efficacious in preclinical models

More than a year after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, several vaccines have been authorized thanks to unprecedented worldwide research efforts. These first-generation vaccines bring great hope and are a mainstay in fighting the virus.

Researchers develop new photodynamic therapy for the treatment of deep tumors

Therapies should be highly effective and as free as possible of side effects—a big challenge, particularly in the case of cancer.

Studies outlines novel strategies for detecting cancer and minimal residual disease

The latest special issue of PLOS Medicine features five studies outlining novel strategies for detecting cancer and for identifying minimal residual disease-; when a small number of tumor cells survive treatment, potentially leading to recurrence of cancer.

Structure-based model of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein reveals opportunity to halt virus transmission

Scientists have simulated the transition of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein structure from when it recognizes the host cell to when it gains entry, according to a study published today in eLife.

New low-cost technique helps profile dynamic metabolic features from single isogenic cells

Researchers with the Single-Cell Center, Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have developed a fast, low-cost and high-throughput technique capable of profiling dynamic metabolic features from just one isogenic sample of cells.

Researchers employ microbes for storing and retrieving energy from renewable sources

Cornell University bioengineer Buz Barstow is trying to solve a big problem: How to build a low-cost, environmentally friendly and large-scale system for storing and retrieving energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar. Currently, there are no sustainable methods for storing green energy, as batteries are environmentally toxic.

Increased transmissibility drives SARS-CoV-2 variant spread, aided by immune escape

Numerous variants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have emerged over the last few months. Unfortunately, this has driven new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) waves, often more severe than before. A recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server discusses the characteristics of the variant that is responsible for this phenomenon.

Walking can power an implantable stimulator device to speed up tendon healing

Researchers at CÚRAM, the SFI Research Centre for Medical Devices based at NUI Galway, have shown how the simple act of walking can power an implantable stimulator device to speed up treatment of musculoskeletal diseases.

New model shows how dysfunction in the air sacs initiates fibrotic cascade

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common and severe form of lung disease characterized by relentless scarring leading to death within an average of four years from the time of diagnosis.

Breakthrough study could lead to much needed therapies for Huntington's disease

A new mechanism that stops the progression of Huntington's disease in cells has been identified by scientists at UCL and the University of Cambridge, as part of their research groups at the UK Dementia Research Institute.

Researchers show how a protein molecular motor can 'constrict' cell membranes

Cells in the human body constantly receive substances from the outside via a process called endocytosis. One important endocytosis pathway involves the formation of a protrusion within the cell membrane, pointing to the inside of the cell, triggered when a molecule needing to get in reaches the membrane.

Scientists identify small compounds that can regulate extracellular vesicle production

Biological vesicles are nano-sized containers that transport proteins and other substances within or between cells.

Targeting and inhibiting a protein could provide more effective treatment for brain cancer

McGill University researchers identify proteins that drive cancer stem cells. Targeting and supressing a particular protein called galectin1 could provide a more effective treatment for glioblastoma, in combination with radiation therapy.

Researchers decipher genetic mechanisms governing the speed of protein synthesis

In all eukaryotic organisms, genetic material is stored in the cell nucleus in the form of DNA. In order to be used, this DNA is first transcribed into messenger RNA in the cell cytoplasm, then translated into protein with the help of ribosomes, small machines capable of decoding messenger RNA to synthesise the appropriate proteins.
