A new antimalarial compound can rapidly clear out malaria parasites in infected mice with a single dose while largely avoiding the development of treatment resistance.

By combining components from tumor cell and bacterial cell membranes, scientists have engineered nanoparticle cancer vaccines that better strengthen immune responses against melanoma, colon…

A new approach to treating breast cancer kills 95-100% of cancer cells in mouse models of human estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancers and their metastases in bone, brain, liver, and lungs

Low doses of 'laughing gas' could be fast, effective treatment for severe depression

A randomized controlled trial to isolate the effects of fasting and energy restriction on weight loss found alternate-day fasting without energy restriction less effectively reduced body fat content and and offered no additional short-term improvements compared to daily energy restriction.

SVEP1 human gene is casually linked to atherosclerosis (clogged arteries/coronary disease) and is independent of cholesterol

Antidepressant drug Paroxetine found to be a disease-modifying treatment for Osteoarthritis

CRISPR-based genetic screening identifies KAT7 as a gene that drives aging in both premature aging and normal aging, with subsequent gene therapy extending healthspan and lifespan in both mice models

COVID-19 Linked to Blood Clotting

Bimodal neuromodulation combining sound and tongue stimulation reduces tinnitus symptoms in a large randomized clinical study

A machine learning algorithm may be able to spot different types of cancers during their earliest, most treatable stages by studying changes in receptors on the body’s own TCells…

According to a new study, a nanoparticle RNA vaccine for the COVID-19 virus safely elicited the production of antibodies and T cell responses—with antibodies lasting more than 70 days—completely neutralizing the coronavirus.

Hearing restored in rats by modifying ear cells to respond to light: Cochlear implants that restore hearing could be improved by genetically modifying the nerve cells in people’s ears so that they respond to light instead of electricity

Using CRISPER effectively to reverse diabetes-causing pathogenic variant in Wolfram syndrome 1: Gene-edited human stem cell–derived β cells from a patient with monogenic diabetes reverse preexisting diabetes in mice

Some progress in pursuit of an anti-viral for SARS-Cov-2

Astrocyte molecular signatures in Huntington’s disease

Intravenous delivery of (rh)platelet-derived growth factor AB improves post-heart attack wound healing in large animal models via altering mechanics of the infarct scar which resulted in robust cardiac functional improvement…

Scientists present an approach to encode medical history on a patient using quantum dots in the skin, which are invisible to the naked eye yet detectable when exposed to near-infrared light…

A new oral contraceptive that only has to be taken once a month, could reduce unintended pregnancies that result from forgetting to take a daily dose

Patient-derived organoids can predict response to chemotherapy in metastatic colorectal cancer patients

Mutant neuropeptide S receptor reduces sleep duration with preserved memory consolidation - Lijuan Xing1, Guangsen Shi, Yulia Mostovoy, Nicholas W

Off-target toxicity is a common mechanism of action of cancer drugs undergoing clinical trials

Elite athletes were found to have an increase in Veillonella atypica, a specific strain of gut bacteria, in the days following completion of a marathon

Researchers develop an antibody that bridges T-cells to ovarian cancer cells, allowing the immune cell to eradicate ovarian tumors in preclinical models; currently being tested in Phase 1 trials

Diagnosis of genetic diseases in seriously ill children by rapid whole-genome sequencing and automated phenotyping and interpretation

Detecting cancer in plasma with cell-free DNA and their genome fragmentation signature

Researchers have been on the hunt for new drugs to combat bacterial 'superbugs.' A new report describes success using gallium, a metal that bacteria confuse for iron, which they take up as a nutrient

Scientists have developed a chemical compound which produces morphine-like analgesic effects but also suppresses the addictive effects produced by prescription opioids.

An international team of researchers has uncovered a destructive mechanism at the molecular level that causes a well-known phenomenon associated with obesity, called leptin resistance
