New research suggests that the severity of COVID-19 is linked to the complement system, one of the oldest parts of the innate immune system and also coagulation dysfunction. Researchers at…
Infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can produce a wide range of symptoms. Some patients experience heart complications with COVID-19 such as a change in heart rhythm. Some…
Researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) have developed a new technique that improves analyses of patterns of brain activity in patients with mental illnesses such as schizophrenia…
A new method of detecting breast cancer has been developed that looks for an exosome biomarker for breast cancer that is found in tears. The technology was developed by a…
The CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool is showing great promise for correcting genetic defects, but one problem with this treatment is the speed at which the edits are made, which typically…
When a foreign invader enters the body, natural killer (NK) cells of the immune system are mobilized and attack the invader, but they are not so effective at attacking and…
A team of researchers has corrected a recessive gene mutation that causes deafness and successfully restored hair cell sensory transduction in mice, giving them partial hearing. The treatment targeted the…
Researchers from Indiana University School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School have developed a method of growing human skin organoids that bear hairs entirely from human pluripotent stem cells. The…
Genetically modifying immune system cells to combat autoimmune diseases or attack cancer cells could one day be a powerful immunotherapy treatment option; however, attempts to edit cells in the innate…
A novel imaging device has been created by biomedical engineers at Duke University that could be used in a non-invasive diagnostic test for Alzheimer’s disease. The device allows researchers to…
