Monoclonal antibodies—treatments developed by cloning a cell that makes an antibody—could help provide an answer to the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance, say scientists.
Researchers at Uppsala University have developed a gel inspired by cow slime for patients suffering from disk herniation. By adding the mucin gel immediately after surgery, it is possible to create a protective barrier around the disks to prevent the i…
A study led by researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center found that breast milk provides protection against rotavirus, a common gastrointestinal disease that causes diarrhea, vomiting and fever in infants.
Children with asthma who are exposed to high levels of indoor allergens, such as cockroach and mouse allergens, are at an increased risk of developing respiratory viral infections with symptoms, according to a new study by researchers at Dell Medical S…
Mayo Clinic researchers mined the molecular foundations of cancer and uncovered a new reason chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T cell therapy) fails in some patients. This discovery has fueled new strategies that incorporate antibodies and gene editing to…
Researchers at the Experimental and Clinical Research Center of Max Delbrück Center and Charité—Universitätsmedizin Berlin (ECRC) have found that different anatomical sections of the gastrointestinal tracts of mice carry different compositions of micro…
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with a poor prognosis, and no effective treatment has been established to date. Understanding the mechanisms that prevent the progression of AKI is crucial. In AKI, immune cells known as macrophages produce lipid…
A study by the team of Prof. Kodi Ravichandran (VIB-UGent Center for Inflammation Research) and colleagues found that pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death traditionally thought to be purely inflammatory, also plays a crucial role in promoting he…
A new study from Karolinska Institutet has mapped how MAIT cells, which play an important role in the body’s defense against microbes, exhibit different properties depending on the tissue they are in.
A computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics nomogram model can achieve favorable efficacy for predicting low-risk patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD), according to a study published online July 31 in Fronti…
