#Oxytocin could promote growth of new #neurons to repair damaged tissue and may contribute to #neuralcircuit plasticity, opens door to new ways to improve #neurologicalconditions: study bit.ly/3W9YVGd #neuralnetworks #brain #brainplasticity #brainresearch #neuroscience

#AI helps to uncover #molecular mechanism underlying #pancreaticcancer. Findings increase understanding of #disease #pathogenesis and open possibilities for exploring new modalities to treat human #diseases, including #hypertension and #cancer. bit.ly/3WewKG7 #AlphaFold2

Research demonstrates novel #syntheticpeptide's ability to selectively detect/neutralize early #molecular trigger of #Alzheimers, with an eye towards early diagnosis and treatment of other #amyloiddiseases. bit.ly/3VSYb8W #Parkinsons #peptides #amyloid #neurodegenerative

Researchers identify critical inhibitory site in #enzyme, which can lead to rational design of #antibiotics. Team succeeds in identifying #antibiotic which is effective against super #drugresistant strain of #Neisseriagonorrhoeae. bit.ly/3YkTshJ #antimicrobialresistance

Study reveals how viral #toxin produced by #SARSCoV2 #virus may contribute to severe #COVID19 infections. By targeting pathway, it could block #pathogenesis leading to #vasculardisorder & acute #respiratorydistress syndrome without needing to target virus. bit.ly/3uJvKOB

Using #artificialintelligence, researchers find evidence that length of #genes explains most of the #molecular-level changes that occur during #aging, which they contend could lead to therapeutics that slow or even reverse process. bit.ly/3Yh9KII #AI #machinelearning

#Optogenetics-based tool allows researchers to control how #neurons respond to electrical input. Using light exposure to change electrical capacitance of neurons' #membranes alters their excitability - which is linked to #brain disorders like #Alzheimers. bit.ly/3Bq8Z69

Using #machinelearning, researchers developed a virtual #molecular library of thousands of 'command sentences' for #cells, based on combinations of 'words' that guided engineered #immunecells to seek out and kill #cancercells. bit.ly/3FiyebO #cancer #AI #cancerresearch

Scientists challenge a 70-year-old theory of how #proteins fold in our #cells with profound implications for treating protein misfolding-linked diseases, including certain #cancers, #Parkinsons, #Huntingtons, and #Alzheimersdisease. bit.ly/3W7ZfWi #cellbiology #cryoEM

Novel #microscopy technique for #biomedicalresearch captures dynamic #3Dimages across larger areas, maintaining #cellular resolution in three dimensions. Study provides views of #cells interacting in natural state, has potential for new disease treatments. bit.ly/3HjKDPj

Researchers have created a spatial #cellatlas of the developing human #lung, describing 144 #celltypes and their interactions in unparalleled detail while uncovering new links between developmental #cells and #lungcancer. bit.ly/3iM7wka #cellbiology #celldevelopment

#Drugtargets, such as kinase enzymes often involved in #cancer, are difficult to target with traditional drugs. Now, research discovers #IFITM #proteins enable bitopic inhibitors to enter #cells, targeting previously untargetable proteins. bit.ly/3PhpU0E #cellbiology

Bioactive compounds called #glycolalkaloids that are found in many #vegetables have the potential for new #cancerdrugs. In vitro and animal studies are needed to determine which glycoalkaloids are safe, promising to test in humans. bit.ly/3uxwO8m #cancer #CancerResearch

Scientists produce infectious #malaria #sporozoites without mosquitoes, providing ground-breaking progress for #malariavaccines. They manufactured #Plasmodiumfalciparum sporozoites in vitro, a major step to scale up manufacturing of #PfSPZ #malariavaccine. bit.ly/3UHwYEE

New drug neutralizes #SARSCoV2 and its #variants by acting as #ACE2receptor decoy. The #virus can't evade decoy as #mutations that would allow it to avoid the drug would also lower the virus's ability to infect cells. bit.ly/3UJsiye #COVID19 #coronavirus #virology #ACE2

#Heartattack on a Chip replicates key aspects of #myocardialinfarction, may one day serve as testbed for #heartdrugs. Scientists don't understand how #heartcells in healthy/injured parts of #heart communicate but new microscale model could solve mystery. bit.ly/3Y2fk1v
