New research released from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus proposes that Alzheimer's disease may be driven by the overactivation of fructose made in the brain.

University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers, led by Shahid Mukhtar, Ph.D., associate professor of biology in the UAB College of Arts and Sciences, have now built an interactome that includes the lung-epithelial cell host interactome integrated with a SARS-CoV-2 interactome.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic sleep condition affecting more than one billion people worldwide. Researchers have discovered how OSA-related sleep disturbances affect the gut microbiome in mice and how transplanting those gut bacteria into other mice can cause changes to sleep patterns in the recipient mice.

Toronto scientists have mapped the genes allowing cancer cells to avoid getting killed by the immune system that paves the way for the development of immunotherapies that would be effective for larger patient populations and across different tumour types.

A research team at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore has found a new approach that turns a nanoparticle into a 'Trojan horse' that causes cancer cells to self-destruct.

Researchers have discovered a novel, second mechanism of action by the antiviral drug remdesivir against SARS-CoV-2, according to findings published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

Researchers at EPFL have developed an approach to print tiny tissues that look and function almost like their full-sized counterpart. Measuring just a few centimeters across, the mini-tissues could allow scientists to study biological processes—and even test new treatment approaches—in ways that were previously not possible.

A standard test that assesses blood cells can identify which patients who are admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 face a high risk of becoming critically ill and dying.

R-spondin, which enhances the growth of normal cells in the gut, suppresses the growth of intestinal cancer cells, thus reducing the formation of intestinal tumors, according to a new study.

A group of drugs used to treat HIV and hepatitis B could be repurposed to prevent Type 2 diabetes, according to a newly published study.
