A recombinant form of human ADAMTS13 approved for a different condition helped to save the life of a young mother with immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
A new study of prion diseases, using a human cerebral organoid model, suggests there is a substantial species barrier preventing transmission of chronic wasting disease (CWD) from cervids -- deer, elk and moose -- to people. The findings are consistent with decades of similar research in animal models.
A team explored the influence the spatial extent of research -- the geographical coverage of data collected -- has on evaluating the sensitivity of different fish species to climate change.
Award-winning journalist & Keyshawn's former radio co-host, LZ Granderson joins the All Facts No Brakes podcast to discuss Bronny James. Keyshawn and LZ discuss Bronny’s NBA Draft stock, Lakers odds to draft LeBron’s son and his future in the NBA.
The sweet-taste receptor might be the first stop in a metabolic surveillance system for sugar. The receptor is also expressed in certain intestinal cells, where it may facilitate glucose absorption and assimilation, as part of this system. A team found that stimulation and inhibition of the sweet receptor helps regulate glucose metabolism in humans and may have implications for managing such metabolic disorders as diabetes.
A paper describes how the moving parts of a particular plant protein control whether plants can grow and make energy-intensive products such as oil -- or instead put in place a series of steps to conserve precious resources. The study focuses specifically on how the molecular machinery is regulated by a molecule that rises and falls with the level of sugar -- plants' main energy source.
Colin Cowherd also continues to evaluate various NFL schedules, including the Detroit Lions shortly after Jared Goff signed his extension. The Lions play 15 of their first 15 games indoors, which historically has benefited Goff (and players in general). Colin explains how advantageous this is for Detroit.
A team of scientists and physicians have discovered that the immune checkpoint protein VISTA can directly turn off tumor-fighting T-cells during immunotherapy and resist treatment. The study explains that VISTA can bind to a protein called LRIG1 in T cells, which was previously only thought to promote bone and fat development. When VISTA binds to LRIG1, the researchers found, LRIG1 sends signals that suppress T cell replication, survival and function. This interaction can happen between molecules on tumor cells and on T cells... Читать дальше...
Researchers have made an important breakthrough in scaling quantum technology by integrating the world's tiniest quantum light detector onto a silicon chip.
Researchers have found that a strain of gut bacteria can boost immune responses and enhance cancer immunotherapy to fight sarcoma tumors in mice.
New research finds that a continuous, long-term ketogenic diet may induce senescence, or aged, cells in normal tissues, with particular implications for heart and kidney function. But planned breaks from the diet could help in prevention.
Scientists have the first direct evidence that the powerful magnetic fields created in off-center collisions of atomic nuclei induce an electric current in 'deconfined' nuclear matter. The study used measurements of how charged particles are deflected when they emerge from the collisions. The study provides proof that the magnetic fields exist and offers a new way to measure electrical conductivity in quark-gluon plasma.
President Joe Biden called a new move to reclassify cannabis "monumental," Thursday, but the proposal is facing some pushback.
A man who portrayed himself as someone who was concerned about Islamophobia at the University of Florida turns out to be a Jewish activist who was apparently trying to bait Muslim professors into criticizing Israel.
A departing executive who co-led the group warned Friday that safety has “taken a backseat to shiny products” at the company.
As we’ve discussed before, the culture of death continues to expand in many decadent Western cultures, and this descent into lunacy is making Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide increasingly normalized options for people who mostly seem plagued by the lack of competent healthcare.

Meteorologists say exceptional windstorms that may leave some Houston residents without power for weeks left damage in their wake comparable to that caused by a hurricane. Janice Maldonado, a National Weather Service meteorologist, says the storms that barreled through Houston Thursday are the most significant in the area since Hurricane Alicia in 1983. The fierce winds folded transmission towers, blew out windows and uprooted trees. Maldonado says straight-line winds gusting over 80 mph in a single direction caused the damage. Читать дальше...
No group claims responsibility for attack in Bamyan, which interior ministry official says also injured seven people.
The UAW effort to win members in at Mercedes was a test of a wider resurgence in worker activism.
Workers at two Mercedes-Benz factories near Tuscaloosa, Alabama, voted overwhelmingly against joining the United Auto Workers on Friday, a setback in the union's drive to organize plants in the historically nonunion South.
By the end of the 2023 wildfire season in Alberta, 1,088 wildfires had burned more than 2.2 million hectares of land, and this year, the wildfire season is already in full swing.
