Examining the brain as a neural information super-highway

An article demonstrating how tools for modeling traffic on the Internet and telephone systems can be used to study information flow in brain networks will be published in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology ...

Study shows how cancer gene tricks immune cells

Cancer-associated genes called oncogenes are well known to stimulate cell growth and division—causing tumors to balloon and spread. But now, researchers at the Stanford School of Medicine and Sarafan ChEM-H have found that ...

Promising new antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 found

An international team led by the University of Bonn (Germany) identified and further developed novel antibody fragments against the SARS coronavirus-2. These "nanobodies" are smaller than classic antibodies penetrating the ...

Diabetes

Personalised therapy reduces cancer risk for diabetes patients

The links between Type 2 diabetes and cancer are complex: people suffering from diabetes mellitus essentially have a higher risk of developing cancer but, on top of that, some diabetes drugs are also suspected of increasing ...

Genetics

Killer T vs. memory: DNA isn't destiny for T cells

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have solved an immunology puzzle. A CD8+ T cell can have two functionally distinct daughter cells after it divides, despite the cells being genetically identical. The researchers ...

Putting the STING into cancer immunotherapy

Immune checkpoint blockade therapies have been revolutionary in the treatment of some cancer types, emerging as one of the most promising treatments for diseases such as melanoma, colon cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.

Neuroscience

Seeing through the eyes of a mouse by decoding its brain signals

Is it possible to fully reconstruct what someone sees based on brain signals alone? The answer is no, not yet. But EPFL researchers have made an important step in that direction by introducing a new algorithm for building ...
