Medical Xpress / Transplanted neural stem cells help preserve vision in retinal degeneration
Cedars-Sinai investigators working to optimize a cell-based treatment for retinitis pigmentosa have uncovered how transplanted neural stem cells interact with host retinal cells to preserve vision. The findings, published ...
Medical Xpress / HIV-seq tool finds active reservoir cells during therapy
For people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), life-saving antiretroviral therapy keeps their HIV-infected immune cells from making new copies of the virus, preventing illness and transmission. Historically, these ...
Medical Xpress / A potential broad coronavirus drug target: Blocking tRNA-modifying enzymes slows viral proteins
Coronaviruses not only use the machinery of the human cells they infect: they modify them to achieve optimal conditions to produce viral proteins and thus spread more quickly. This is the main conclusion of a study by Pompeu ...
Medical Xpress / Why most foods don't trigger allergies: Three common seed proteins may train gut immune tolerance
In little moments like when sipping coffee or licking an ice cream cone, it doesn't seem like your body is pulling off a biological miracle. But it is. That cookie is not you—yet when you put it in your mouth, your body ...
