While reflecting on what we're thankful for during the holiday season, we often focus on the external: the company of loved ones. The nourishment of a shared meal. The homes in which we gather.
Medical Xpress / When ribosomes collide, cells launch emergency stress defenses
Ribosomes, the protein factories of the cell, are essential for all living organisms. They bind to mRNA and move along the messenger molecule, reading the genetic code as they go. Using this information, they link amino acids ...
Medical Xpress / New protocol for Treg expansion uses targeted immunotherapy to reduce transplant complications
In preclinical studies, researchers found that priming the immune system with a Treg-expanding therapy before stem cell transplant boosted survival, protected vital organs, and promoted a balanced gut microbiome—offering ...
Phys.org / RNA in action: Filming ribozyme self-assembly
RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure. A recent study published in Nature Communications ...
Medical Xpress / Phase III success for rocatinlimab in moderate-to-severe eczema
An international team of investigators has reported results from the first Phase III clinical trials of rocatinlimab, a novel treatment for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema).
Phys.org / Drones: An ally in the sky to help save elephants
