How Does a Library Respond to a Global Health Crisis?
Patricia Brennan | Via National Library of Medicine | March 24, 2020Around the world, scientists, public health officials, medical professionals, and others are working to address the coronavirus pandemic. At NLM, we’ve been working on multiple fronts to improve researchers’ understanding of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes the novel coronavirus) and aid in the response to COVID-19 (the disease caused by the novel coronavirus). By enhancing […]
Crumpled graphene makes ultra-sensitive cancer DNA detector
Rashid Bashir | Via ScienceDaily | March 24, 2020Graphene-based biosensors could usher in an era of liquid biopsy, detecting DNA cancer markers circulating in a patient’s blood or serum. But current designs need a lot of DNA. In a new study, crumpling graphene makes it more than ten thousand times more sensitive to DNA by creating electrical “hot spots,” researchers at the University […]

Two New Subtypes of Schizophrenia Have Been Discovered
Christos Davatzikos | Via Technology Networks | February 27, 2020Schizophrenia is a complex neurological condition characterized by disorganized thinking, difficulty concentrating, hallucinations, and delusions. Affecting up to 1% of people worldwide, the cause and disease mechanisms of schizophrenia are not well understood. The present study, led by principal investigator Christos Davatzikos, PhD, the Wallace T. Miller professor of radiology in the Perelman School of […]
New Classification System Developed for Regenerative Cell-Based Therapies
Cato Laurencin | Via Springer Link | February 19, 2020Doctors at UConn Health have developed the first classification system for regenerative cell-based therapies designed to stratify therapies based on scientific evidence and potential for harm. Today, there are concerns regarding the clinical safety and efficacy of cell-based therapies throughout the scientific community and within public discourse. The unregulated U.S. stem cell market has been […]
Gene therapy tackles tau tangles in mouse models of dementia
Steve Liggett | Via Fierce Biotech | February 18, 2020When the protein tau builds up in the brain, it can form toxic tangles that are the hallmark of several neurological diseases, including Alzheimer’s and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), a particularly devastating early-onset form of dementia. Now, researchers at the University of South Florida (USF) Health Morsani College of Medicine believe they’ve found another protein […]
Novel Hydrogel Platform Enables On-demand Bioproduction
Hal Alper | Via The University of Texas at Austin | February 17, 2020A team of chemical engineers has developed a new way to produce medicines and chemicals on demand and preserve them using portable “biofactories” embedded in water-based gels called hydrogels. The approach could help people in remote villages or on military missions, where the absence of pharmacies, doctor’s offices or even basic refrigeration makes it hard […]
