Physician scientists at the UNC School of Medicine played a pivotal role in getting this therapy to the bedside, from assisting with clinical trials to the infusion of the first pediatric patient in North Carolina at UNC Children’s.
Cedars-Sinai and UCLA investigators studied first trimester placental tissue and found that for some genes, the process that turns their information into a biological function may depend on the sex of the fetus.
In a world first, a pig kidney preserved at subzero temperatures was successfully transported across the Atlantic Ocean multiple times, demonstrating the potential for a novel technology to greatly extend organ storage and preservation, and make long-distance organ transportation a clinical reality.
A new method that research teams can use to measure and compare different forms of proteins and protein complexes helped reveal a previously unseen molecular signature of how algal genomes are controlled during the cell cycle.
Bacteria and fungi from the wings of bats could play a significant role in saving them from white-nose syndrome (WNS), a fungal disease affecting the skin of wings and muzzle, which has nearly wiped out vulnerable bat populations across North America.
Scientists have plumbed the depths of nearly 3,000 soil samples from around the globe to put together the heftiest atlas of soil viruses ever created. But what are all those viruses doing in the soil? More than 97 percent are considered “viral dark matter” that have no known function.
A new study offers new insights into how nanoplastics interact with natural organic matter, crucial for understanding their role in pollution and the carbon cycle. The research reveals that nanoplastics initially form aggregates through hydrophobic forces, followed by binding via van der Waals interactions.
A recent study has uncovered how the night-blooming waterlily Nymphaea prolifera uses its floral scents to ward off aphids. Researchers explored the biosynthesis and ecological role of these floral compounds, revealing new insights into early plant-insect dynamics and the plant’s natural defenses.
A new type of prototype water harvester promises to be simpler and more efficient than traditional variations of the device at pulling drinking water from the air, a new study suggests.
In the 1990s, the San Miguel Island fox nearly went extinct, with numbers dropping to just 15. A recovery program increased their population by 2010, but from 2014 to 2018, it fell to 30% of its peak due to a new acanthocephalan parasite, exacerbated by a prolonged drought. A collaborative research effort employed morphological and molecular methods, alongside necropsy records, to identify the parasite and assess its health impacts on the foxes.
