Scientists investigating how influenza viruses replicate within cells "accidentally" discovered that different flu viruses use distinct strategies to infiltrate cells in the first place. They also found that it is possible ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a new manufacturing platform for producing targeted mixtures of beneficial gut bacteria, an approach that could help expand access to microbiome-based ...

University of Oregon neuroscientists have identified a group of brain cells that essentially act as a "disappointment meter," announcing when reality is falling short of expectations.

MIT engineers have developed a noninvasive pacemaker that stimulates the heart using ultrasound. The design could one day provide a surgery-free alternative to traditional cardiac implants.

Researchers at University Medical Center Utrecht have uncovered a previously underappreciated mechanism that helps immune cells to respond rapidly to infections. Using advanced long-read RNA sequencing, the team shows that ...

New paper-thin piezoelectric patch sensors designed for at-home stroke rehabilitation may soon revolutionize post-stroke care by offering potential accessible, efficient rehabilitation and improving patient outcomes through ...

Researchers at the USC Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have created one of the largest reference models ever developed for the human brain, ...

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a promising new way to improve CAR-T cell therapy for solid tumors such as lung cancer and melanoma. The study, published in Nature Cancer, found ...

Tissue expansion is a common technique used in reconstructive surgery. Surgeons slowly stretch nearby skin to grow extra tissue that can be used to rebuild areas such as the ear, breast, or nose.

An AI-assisted model based on 71 different blood proteins could help doctors better predict retinal degeneration in diabetic patients before symptoms occur, according to a study published in PLOS Medicine by Huangdong Li ...

T cells are some of the immune system's most important warriors. They can stop tumor growth and even fight off severe infections. Now scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have discovered how T cells target ...

Results of a multicenter clinical trial found that adding the investigational adenoviral-based viral immunotherapy aglatimagene besadenovec (alglatimagene, CAN-2409) to standard radiation therapy improved disease-free survival ...
