Nanodiscs: What Are They and How Are They Shaping the Future of Medicine?

Nanodiscs are synthetic phospholipid particles with a distinct morphology and size that enhance their efficiency in drug delivery applications.1 First developed by Sligar et al. in the early 2000s, these model membrane systems measure around 10 nm in diameter with a thickness between 4.6 and 5.6 nm.2 Structurally, nanodiscs are similar to high-density lipoproteins.   In medical [...]

New Discovery Reveals How Ovarian Cancer Starves Immune Cells

Researchers discovered that ovarian tumors hinder T cells’ energy supply by trapping a key protein, blocking lipid uptake. A new approach to reprogram T cells could enhance immunotherapy for aggressive cancers. Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have uncovered a mechanism by which ovarian tumors weaken immune cells, effectively blocking their energy source and hindering their ability [...]

Team introduces a cost-effective method to redesign search engines for AI

The internet search engine of the future will be powered by artificial intelligence. One can already choose from a host of AI-powered or AI-enhanced search engines—though their reliability often still leaves much to be desired. However, a team of computer scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently published and released a novel system for evaluating [...]

Experiments demonstrate precise delivery of nanoparticles to lung

In recent years, bio-medical engineers have been developing promising techniques that could help diagnose diseases or precisely target specific regions inside the human body. Among these promising therapeutic strategies are methods that rely on the use of nanoparticles (NPs), tiny particles between 1 and 100 nm in size. These tiny particles could precisely image [...]

What is Lassa fever? Everything to know about Ebola-like virus

Lassa fever has reached the US for the first time in a decade, in a case that has surprised health officials. The middle-aged patient in Iowa, who was not identified, died a 'short time' after being hospitalized with the disease, which can cause bleeding from the eyes and seizures. The patient had just returned to the US [...]

Harvard Study Links Popular Plastic Ingredient to DNA Damage

Phthalate affects egg formation in C. elegans, resulting in abnormal chromosome numbers. A recent study conducted on roundworms has discovered that a common plastic ingredient can cause DNA strand breaks, leading to egg cells with an abnormal number of chromosomes. The research, led by Monica Colaiácovo from Harvard Medical School, was recently published in the journal PLOS Genetics. [...]

New research finds that subtle eye movements optimize vision

Our ability to see starts with the light-sensitive photoreceptor cells in our eyes. A specific region of the retina, termed fovea, is responsible for sharp vision. Here, the color-sensitive cone photoreceptors allow us to detect even the smallest details. The density of these cells varies from person to person. Additionally, when we fixate on [...]

Scientists Were Wrong: Plants Absorb 31% More CO2 Than Previously Thought

New research shows plants absorb 31% more CO2 than previously estimated, raising the global GPP to 157 petagrams per year. Using carbonyl sulfide as a proxy for photosynthesis, this study highlights tropical rainforests’ critical role as carbon sinks and stresses the importance of accurate photosynthesis modeling for climate predictions. A new assessment by scientists reveals [...]

Doctors test first mRNA vaccine against norovirus

According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the norovirus, which is widespread worldwide, is the cause of a large proportion of gastrointestinal infections. Those who catch the virus suffer from nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. It is very contagious and can spread quickly from person to person. There is not much that can be done [...]
