New method helps gain fundamental insights into ribosome function

Inside tiny cellular machines called ribosomes, chains of genetic material called messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are matched with the corresponding transfer RNAs (tRNAs) to create sequences of amino acids that exit the ribosome as proteins.

Pitt researchers receive $792,000 to understand the biology behind ovarian cancer metastasis

Most women diagnosed with metastatic ovarian cancer have a less than five year survival rate. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering are working to change that.

New red blood cell destruction model based on dissipative particle dynamics within a high shear flow

Many medical devices for treating heart failure generate nonphysiological shear flow. This can trigger the destruction of red blood cells after implantation of ventricular assist devices (VADs), artificial heart valves, vascular stents, or interventional thrombectomy devices.

High-throughput sequencing reveals structured olfactory neuron projections

Our sense of smell has a powerful effect on our behavior and emotions. Aromas can evoke vivid memories of the past or warn us of a smoldering fire. Yet to neuroscientists, smell remains the most mysterious of our five senses.

Researchers use deep neural networks to virtually stain microscopic images of unlabeled tissue

In the hospital, there is a group of doctors who use tissue samples as "evidence materials", analyze the evidence using knives, slicers and microscopes to extract clues from the tissue samples, and provide patients with "verdicts" -; diagnostic reports.

Researchers use AI to predict compounds that could neutralize baldness

Hair loss is undesirable for many men -; and women -; because one's hairstyle is often closely tied to their self-confidence.

Scientists reveal anti-inflammatory molecules that play an important role in aging

Aging involves complicated plot twists and a large cast of characters: inflammation, stress, metabolism changes, and many others. Now, a team of Salk Institute and UC San Diego scientists reveal another factor implicated in the aging process-;a class of lipids called SGDGs (3-sulfogalactosyl diacylglycerols) that decline in the brain with age and may have anti-inflammatory effects.

New way of reprogramming immune cells shown to work in melanoma

A new way of reprogramming our immune cells to shrink or kill off cancer cells has been shown to work in the otherwise hard-to-treat and devastating skin cancer, melanoma.

First evidence of a link between self-control and intelligence in birds

A study has found that Eurasian jays can pass a version of the 'marshmallow test' – and those with the greatest self-control also score the highest on intelligence tests.

An innovative nasal vaccine strategy to combat COVID

In a recent study published in the journal Science, researchers at Yale University developed a novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination strategy termed 'prime and spike' (P&S) that leveraged existing systemic immunity triggered by parenteral vaccination (prime) to boost immunity at the respiratory mucosa.
