The rapidly evolving SARS-CoV-2 virus threatens the progress made in curbing the COVID-19 pandemic. A promising novel drug candidate, designed at the atomic level, could help doctors halt the rise of lethal new drug resistant variants.
A new process for microscale 3D printing creates particles of nearly any shape for applications in medicine, manufacturing, research and more – at the pace of up to 1 million particles a day.
A molecular “snapshot” of a protein can be critical to understanding its function. Scientists at Stanford and NYU have published and investigated a new structure of the protein LAG-3 which could enable the development of new cancer treatments.
Patient mindsets can influence care outcomes. Care providers who received a new “Medicine Plus Mindset” training increasingly felt that patient mindsets are important in health care and reported using the training when interacting with patients.
The new study found that an RNA-targeting CRISPR platform could tune immune cell metabolism without permanent genetic changes, potentially unveiling a relatively low-risk way to upgrade existing cell therapies for cancer.
Analysis reveals imported earthworm species have colonized large swaths of North America, and represent a largely overlooked threat to native ecosystems. The researchers warn of the need to better understand and manage the invaders in our midst.
The Wilkes Subglacial Basin in East Antarctica holds enough ice to raise global sea levels by more than 10 feet, and it may be less stable than previously thought.
Researchers from Stanford and the American University of Beirut have developed a lightweight, portable antenna that can communicate with satellites and devices on the ground, making it easier to coordinate rescue and relief efforts in disaster-prone areas.
Karl Deisseroth created a multidisciplinary in-patient research program and laboratory to better understand neuropsychiatric disorders and share those discoveries with the world.
