Vaccine Induces Protective Immune Response in Mouse Model

Vaccination of mice with a peptide derived from the apoB protein component of low density lipoprotein (LDL) stimulated increased production of regulatory T-cells (Tregs) and reduction in number and size of atherosclerotic lesions. More...

Artificial RNAs Increase Precision of Gene-Editing System

Incorporation of next-generation bridged nucleic acids at specific locations in CRISPR-RNAs (crRNAs) broadly reduces off-target DNA cleavage by Cas9 - a major drawback slowing the development of genome editing clinical applications - in vitro and in cells by several orders of magnitude. More...

Inhibiting Fibronectin Polymerization Reduces Injury to Cardiac Muscle

Working with a mouse model of human heart disease, researchers showed that interfering with fibronectin (FN) polymerization or its genetic deletion in fibroblasts would attenuate cardiac myofibroblasts (MF), fibrosis, and improve cardiac function following heart attack related injury. More...

Bladder Cancer Organoids May Lead to Treatment Breakthrough

Cancer researchers have established a "bio-bank" of patient-derived organoid lines that recapitulates the histopathological and molecular diversity of human bladder cancer. More...

Vaccine Cures and Protects against West Nile Virus

Treatment with a novel siRNA-based vaccine offered efficient late-stage therapy and facilitated development of natural long-term immunity against West Nile virus in a mouse model system. More...

Finnish Study Describes Activators of SIRT6 Gene

A team of Finnish researchers conducted a study to evaluate the differences in chemical features between inhibitors and activators of the cancer-related SIRT6 gene. More...

Image: Calcium phosphate mineralization occurs in both extra- and intrafibrillar spaces of collagen (left and right images, respectively). The confined collagen structure contributes to reducing the thermodynamic energy barrier to intrafibrillar nucleation for bone mineralization (Photo courtesy of Washington University).

Nano-Imaging Reveals Links to Regulation of Bone Mineralization

A team of bioengineers applied a hi-tech nano-imagining technique to determine the mechanisms involved in the initialization and regulation of the process of bone mineralization. More...
