As part of a large collaboration with scientists around the world, researchers from the University of California San Diego have developed a new search tool to help researchers better understand the metabolism of microorganisms.Microbes are key players in virtually all biological and environmental systems, yet limitations in current techniques used to study microbial metabolism make...
by Hokkaido University Compared with untreated cancer, the TRED-I system significantly reduced cancer size in mice models. Credit: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2024). DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2310821121A new technology to increase visibility of cancer cells to the immune system using CRISPR has been developed, and could lead to a new way to treat cancer. Major...
With huge support from both the Novo Nordisk Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, researchers from Aarhus University can now test whether the technology for converting surplus CO2 into food will work on a larger scale, outside the laboratory. The media are flooded with news, reports and warnings that we’re releasing far too much...
by Wayne State University Scanning electron micrograph of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, which cause TB. Credit: NIAID A team of faculty from Wayne State University has discovered new technology that will quickly and easily detect active Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) infection antibodies. Their work, “Discovery of Novel Transketolase Epitopes and the Development of IgG-Based Tuberculosis Serodiagnostics,” was published in...
RADBOUD UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER A new COVID-19 vaccine based on a different platform than current vaccines on the market has been tested in humans for the first time by researchers at Radboud university medical center. Administration of this vaccine in healthy study participants was well tolerated and led to a good immune response. The effectiveness of the...
by Lori Dajose, California Institute of Technology Multiple sites of the AAV capsid are engineered to acquire brain specificity while being targeted away from the liver in mice after in vivo selection. On the left, the engineering sites on the AAV capsid and monomer are depicted in purple and green, while on the right transgene...
by University of Zurich A piece of the tumor was made completely transparent and scanned in 3D with a special microscope. The components labeled with fluorescent colors were rendered in a rotatable 3D representation on the computer (red: blood vessels, turquoise: tumor cells, yellow: therapeutic antibody). Credit: Plückthun Lab A new technology developed by UZH researchers enables the...
by Bar-Ilan University Diagnosing coronavirus takes approximately one hour using current methods. A new technology, based on a combination of optics and magnetic particles, can rapidly test 100 samples of patients potentially infected with the virus and reduce the diagnostic time to approximately 15 minutes. The time it currently takes to diagnose coronavirus poses one...
