Mice created with full human immune systems for the first time

17.7.2024   |   Press monitoring

Researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio have succeeded where many before them have failed, in engineering a type of mouse that has an immune response identical to humans. While mice are commonplace in research and considered one of the best animals to work with, they're far from a perfect human substitute. A...

Respiratory bacteria turn off immune system to survive, study finds

15.7.2024   |   Press monitoring

Researchers from The University of Queensland have identified how a common bacterium is able to manipulate the human immune system during respiratory infections and cause persistent illness. The research, led by Professor Ulrike Kappler from UQ's School of Chemical and Molecular Biosciences, studied the virulence mechanisms of Haemophilus...

Team develops the first cell-free system in which genetic information and metabolism work together

12.7.2024   |   Press monitoring

By interlinking the metabolic and genetic levels, researchers want to create self-sustaining synthetic biological systems that can generate their own building blocks and drive processes in a reciprocal manner – just like in living cells. A team led by Tobias Erb from the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg, Germany, has...

Self-assembling and disassembling swarm molecular robots via DNA molecular controller

10.7.2024   |   Press monitoring

Researchers from Tohoku University and Kyoto University have successfully developed a DNA-based molecular controller that autonomously directs the assembly and disassembly of molecular robots. This pioneering technology marks a significant step towards advanced autonomous molecular systems with potential applications in medicine and...

Microscopic vehicles propelled by swimming green algae could assist biological and environmental research

8.7.2024   |   Press monitoring

Researchers have created tiny, vehiclelike structures that can be maneuvered by microscopic algae. The algae are caught in baskets attached to the micromachines, which have been carefully designed to allow them enough room to continue swimming. Two types of vehicles were created: the "rotator," which spins like a wheel, and the "scooter,"...

Anti-aging molecule successfully restores multiple markers of youth

5.7.2024   |   Press monitoring

In pre-clinical trials, a small molecule effectively regrew neurons, reduced inflammation, and improved memory, speed, coordination, grip strength, and more. The finding could have a profound impact on aging and the diseases that accompany it. In conducting the research, scientists at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, turned...

These 3D model brains with cells from several people are first of their kind

3.7.2024   |   Press monitoring

For the first time, researchers have grown 3D models of the brain that include a wide variety of cell types from several people. These ‘village in a dish’ organoids could help to reveal why the brain’s response to drugs differs from person to person. Other teams have made 2D sheets of brain cells sourced from more than one human donor, but this...

Microrobot-packed pill shows promise for treating inflammatory bowel disease in mice

1.7.2024   |   Press monitoring

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a pill that releases microscopic robots, or microrobots, into the colon to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The experimental treatment, given orally, has shown success in mice. It significantly reduced IBD symptoms and promoted the healing of damaged colon tissue without...

Researcher discovers 1 in 5 bacteria can break down plastic

28.6.2024   |   Press monitoring

Some of the world's smallest organisms could play a significant role in solving the problem of plastic pollution. Increasingly, it is being discovered how certain bacteria can break down plastic into small particles, which can then be recycled. Leiden Ph.D. candidate Jo-Anne Verschoor discovered that nearly 20% of the bacterial strains she...

New organoid culture method can verify human toxicity of nanomaterials

26.6.2024   |   Press monitoring

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has developed the world's first organoid culture method capable of accurately assessing human toxicity of nanomaterials. Overcoming the limitations of the conventional culture method, this new technology is expected to bring forward the commercialization of organoid-based safety...
