New study reveals how human astroviruses bind to humans cells and paves the way for new therapies and vaccines Human astroviruses are a leading viral cause of the stomach bug—think vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. It often impacts young children and older adults, leading to vicious cycles of sickness and malnutrition, particularly for those in low and middle income countries. It’s very commonly found in wastewater studies, meaning it’s frequently circulating in communities. As of now, there are no vaccines for…
This pathology causes a weakening in affected individuals, most of them within the labour force population, making this disease one of the limiting factors for…
But now, research just published in the advanced online issue of Nature Neuroscience 1, found that Rhesus macaques when listening to other monkeys’ calls…
This line of scientific questioning points to ways in which neural systems compare to artificial ones, and can ultimately inform the design of artificial…
A single protein can turn on and off a key component of the immune system by changing partners in an elegant genomic dance, said researchers at the University…
So that we can move, and so that our heart beats, we need proteins with special mechanical properties, “molecular springs”, which give our tissues the…
