Circular RNAs can regulate PKR activation in innate immunity
A recent study has discovered that covalently closed circular RNAs (circRNAs) preferentially bind to PKR which is related to innate immunity and act as PKR inhibitors.
Screening for genes to improve protein production in yeast
By silencing genes, researchers have increased the protein production in yeast, laying the grounds for engineering better yeast production hosts for industries producing biopharmaceutical proteins and industrial enzymes.
Colon cancer proteins and gene analysis uncovers potential new treatments
A new study analysing both the entire set of genes and all the proteins produced by colon cancer tissues has revealed a more comprehensive view of the tumour.
New role unlocked for nervous system in regeneration
Using a computational model, researchers were able to explain, predict, and manipulate the regeneration of a flatworm body.
New nanomachines developed to deliver cancer drugs to hard-to-reach areas
In a recent study in mice, researchers have found a way to deliver specific drugs to parts of the body that are exceptionally difficult to access.
Scientists make improvements to AI pipeline used to diagnose genetic diseases
Building on previous research, scientists have made improvements to an artificial intelligence pipeline used to diagnose genetic diseases via blood samples obtained from gravely ill infants.
Method for radiolabelling antibodies against breast cancer developed
Researchers from the University of Zurich have created a new method for radiolabelling antibodies using UV light - with proteins being ready-to-use for cancer imaging or therapy in less than 15 minutes.
Heme-sequestering peptides may help stall lung cancer
Scientists have demonstrated that the growth rate of the majority of lung cancer cells relates directly to the availability of a crucial oxygen-metabolising molecule.
New technique developed to expand multimodal single cell analysis
A new technique, called ECCITE-seq, has been developed to allow researchers to perform high-throughput measurements of multiple modalities of information from single cells.
New research advances the possibility of regenerating tissue after a heart attack
This research advances the possibility of reviving the heart's regenerative capacities using microRNAs.
Scientists restore functions in pig’s brain hours after death
Scientists have reported circulation and cellular activity being restored in a pig's brain four hours after its death, challenging long-held assumptions about the timing and irreversible nature of the cessation of some brain functions after death.
New study finally explains the link between inflammation and gastric cancer
Researchers have finally shown how inflammation caused by H. pylori infection causes the proliferation of gastric epithelial stem cells, leading to gastric tumours.
Artificial chemical receptor developed to assist in T cell engineering
Engineered T cell immunotherapy (such as chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) and T cell receptor T cell (TCR-T) therapy), could potentially be used as a therapeutic strategy for tumour treatment.
Cancer-killing combination therapies unveiled with new drug-screening tool
Method IDs which target therapies, inadequately on their own, can be paired up to kill non-responsive cancers...
