Researchers Discover a Likely Cause of Psoriasis

Researchers have potentially discovered the cause of a chronic condition called psoriasis, a disorder that generates scaly, red patches on the skin. It can be so severe in some cases that it is life-threatening, and psoriasis may impact as many of three percent of the world's population. Scientists have now ...

Combined Immune Cell Therapy Improves Multiple Sclerosis Treatment

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating autoimmune disease of the brain and spinal cord. The disease can affect everyone differently, but depending on the progression and severity of the disease, patients may have vision problems, numbness and tingling, muscle weakness, coordination problems, pain, fatigue, and ...

Novel Biological Marker Assesses Risk in Women for Cardiovascular Disease

In the United States, heart disease is the leading cause of death. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) predicts that two people die within a minute due to cardiovascular disease. Many conditions fall under the umbrella term “cardiovascular ...

Uncovering a Mechanism of Immunotherapy Response in Lung Cancer

When cancer cells mutate, they produce small peptides called neoantigens. Because neoantigens remain relatively unique to tumors, they can provide a marker to help the immune system recognize and kill cancer cells. Research suggests that neoantigens can impact how well cancer treatments work, but the molecular ...

A Gut Bacterium That Causes Immunodeficiency is Discovered

The microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract can have a massive influence on our bodies. Research has shown that these microbes are not only linked to various gut diseases and certain types of cancer, the gut microbiome has also been associated with different aspects of mental health and chronic disease. As ...

UPCOMING WEBINARS

Critical Point Drying Workflows for Electron Microscopy

Andrew Lawson - Product Performance Manager

In this webinar, we will discuss the technique of critical point drying for the preparation of biological and materials science samples for electron microscopy. As hydrated samples cannot generally be loaded directly in to the vacuum chamber of an electron microscope without deformation of structure, critical point drying offers a means to dry samples without a change to that structure. ...

A Single-Cell and Spatially-Resolved Atlas of the Human and Murine Oral Cavity

Dr. Inês Sequeira, MSc PhD - Senior Lecturer in Oral and Skin Biology, Deputy Director of Research, Institute of Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London

The oral cavity serves as the gateway to both the respiratory and digestive tracts and shares structural features with the skin. Despite its specialized niches—labial and buccal mucosae, salivary glands, periodontium, palate, and tongue—our understanding of cellular heterogeneity, communication, and spatial patterns within these regions remains limited. In this webinar ...
