Researchers have identified molecular biomarkers, pathways and immune cell dynamics associated with sepsis that could be targeted to prevent the condition from leading to death.

According to murine model findings, a single common genetic mutation may hold the key to making immunotherapy more effective against gliomas.

The Kidney Project’s implantable bioartificial kidney, one that promises to free kidney disease patients from dialysis machines and transplant waiting lists, took another big step toward becoming reality, earning a $650,000 prize from KidneyX for its first-ever demonstration of a functional prototype of its implantable artificial kidney.

A study has found that people who menstruate experienced irregularities in their menstrual cycle because of increased stress during the COVID-19 pandemic

By supplementing the synthetic biology toolkit, researchers have developed key components of an expanded genetic code system.

The NIAID, part of the National Institutes of Health, has awarded approximately $36.3 million to three academic institutions to conduct research to develop vaccines to protect against multiple types of coronaviruses and viral variants.

A new study has used a state-of-the-art blood test to track damage to the brain in people who have sustained traumatic brain injury (TBI). Measuring the protein biomarker in the blood will provide a simpler, more accurate way to predict clinical outcomes and may help to identify those at higher risk of developing dementia.

In order to help the general public understand scientific concepts, a group of scientists created musical melodies based on the structure of 18 different proteins, including oxytocin.

Researchers have used for the first time the method of longitudinal network analysis applied to children, in order to detect the symptoms that herald the development of psychotic illness in the future.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an intractable neurological disease. Aging is a risk factor for motor cortex accumulation of TDP-43 (transduction responsive region DNA-binding protein of 43kDa). Researchers have found that methylation of TDP-43 DNA is involved in the background of motor cortex involvement with aging in ALS.
