-
New inhibitors that block HIV-1 integrase during virus maturation
A new class of small molecules targets HIV-1 integrase to disrupt virus maturation, potentially reducing the ability of HIV to replicate.
-
Understanding how a tick enzyme may trigger red-meat allergy
A clinician-scientist aims to understand how a tick enzyme might push the immune system toward meat allergy in adults who develop Alpha Gal Syndrome after a tick bite.
-
Targeting piRNA to create sterile ticks
Researchers are testing a way to make ticks infertile by disrupting a gene pathway called piRNA that protects germ cells, which could reduce tick populations and disease risk.
-
How egg cells control a key protein switch during egg division
This work aims to discover whether the enzyme PP1 and its partner proteins help egg cells complete division properly, which could explain some causes of female infertility.
-
New Ways to Stop HIV-1 from Growing
This research explores new compounds that could prevent the HIV virus from maturing and spreading in the body.
-
Using harmful molecules to create safe materials for healing
This study is looking at how certain harmful molecules that increase after injuries, like heart attacks or strokes, can actually be used to create new materials that help heal damaged tissues, which could lead to better treatments for patients recovering from these conditions.
-
Exploring the connection between cancer and infertility in women
This study is looking at how a specific protein might connect cancer and infertility in women, aiming to understand why women who have trouble getting pregnant may also face a higher risk of cancer, using a special yeast model to explore these links.
-
Understanding how tick immune cells respond to Rickettsia parkeri infection
This study is looking at how tick immune cells respond to a specific germ that can cause diseases in humans, with the goal of finding new ways to stop ticks from spreading these illnesses, especially as tick-borne diseases are becoming more common.
-
Understanding how a specific protein regulates egg cell development and fertility
This study is looking at how a protein called PP1 helps with the development of egg cells and female fertility, which could explain why some women have trouble getting pregnant.
-
A new vaccine to prevent Zika virus infections.
This study is working on a new vaccine to help protect people from the Zika virus, which can cause serious health issues, especially for pregnant women and their babies, and aims to make it safe and effective for future use.
-
Using special polymers to improve targeted cancer treatments
This study is looking at new ways to make cancer treatments more effective by improving how they target and remove harmful proteins in your body, which could lead to better options for patients dealing with cancer.
-
Investigating how tick proteins affect blood feeding and immune response
This study is looking at how proteins in tick saliva help ticks feed on animals by changing how the animal's immune system works, and it's aimed at finding ways to boost the immune response to better protect against ticks and the diseases they can spread.
-
How sleep problems and inflammation affect social behavior in adults with schizophrenia
This study is looking at how sleep problems and inflammation affect social skills and behavior in adults with schizophrenia, hoping to find new ways to help improve their daily interactions and overall quality of life.
