Scientists at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) and Pulmobiotics S.L have generated the first ‘living medicine’ to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria growing on the surfaces of medical implants. The study published in the journal Molecular Systems Biology highlights a treatment that removes a common bacteria’s ability to cause disease and alternatively repurposes it to attack
A group of researchers led by Dr. Albert Edge at Mass Eye and Ear have identified the reason deafness occurs in a rare syndrome known as Norrie disease. Researchers discovered that the Norrie Disease Protein (NDP) is lacking in patients with the disease and is essential for maintenance and survival of hair cells in the
New research from North Carolina State University showed that high-grade gliomas contained more immune cells associated with suppressing immune response than low-grade gliomas. This evidence adds to previous research suggesting that these brain tumors may recruit cells that aid in immunosuppression. This research, published in Veterinary Pathology, is significant because it could inform future immunotherapy-based
