From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought ...

This manuscript demonstrates that Oct4 overexpression synergizes with Notch inhibition (Rbpj knockout) to promote the conversion of adult murine Müller glia (MG) into bipolar cells. These findings are ...

As scientists, we often think we understand a virus—its structure, its tricks, the way it moves through the body. But every ...

Shi Zhengli, a leading virologist, became known as “Bat Woman” for her work on coronaviruses. She has spent decades studying bat-borne diseases, tracing their origins, and analyzing their potential ...

Study findings provide a new gene pathway for potential treatment of the virus affecting millions. Mount Sinai researchers have developed a method to uncover the hidden immune cells that harbor ...

In the lymph nodes of the neck of people with multiple sclerosis (MS), certain immune cells show abnormalities in activity and signs of reactions against the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a new study ...

His research involves studying the structure of viruses and how they interface with the cells of their hosts’ bodies — hence the mapping of the Zika antibodies. That structural understanding is key to ...

A researcher in Purdue University’s College of Science is developing a patent-pending platform technology that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid (NA)-based therapies ...

Each aptamer has distinct nucleotide sequences, one of a kind, which enable each aptamer to form a distinct three-dimensional structure ... virus particles (Hwang et al., 2012; Bai et al., 2018), ...
