Sequencing Study Shows Immunity to Flu is Highly Personalized

5 days ago | laboratoryequipment.com | Michelle Taylor

Coming off the worst flu season in nearly two decades, an internation cohort of leading researchers have shown that person-to-person variation in antibody immunity plays a key role in shaping which flu strains dominate in a population. Infection or vaccination with the influenza virus elicits a neutralizing antibody response targeting the viral hemagglutinin (HA) protein. These antibodies protect against infection, providing immunity to strains that they neutralize.
Ancient DNA Reveals Evolution of Fever-causing Bacteria with Ties to Lyme Disease

1 week ago | laboratoryequipment.com | Michelle Taylor

Ancient DNA samples from as long as 2,300 years ago are revealing evolutionary secrets about Borrelia recurrentis, a type of bacteria that causes relapsing fever and is a distant cousin of the bacteria that causes modern Lyme disease. Only three known species of bacteria, including B. recurrentis, have transitioned from being carried primarily by ticks to lice, changing the potential severity of the disease. It was unknown when B.

A 6-month-old born with a rare genetic disorder is the world’s first person successfully treated with a customized CRISPR gene editing therapy in a historic medical breakthrough. The infant, KJ, was diagnosed with a rare metabolic disease—an urea cycle disorder known as severe carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency. During the normal breakdown of proteins in the body, ammonia is naturally produced.

Last week, Sudip Parikh, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), testified before the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee regarding the “grave risk” to U.S. leadership in biomedical and scientific research under the Trump Administration.
Team Develops Outbreak Detection System that Saves Lives, Money

1 month ago | laboratoryequipment.com | Michelle Taylor

Researchers in Pittsburg have developed and tested an infectious diseases platform that can prevent the spread of hospital-based infections—and thereby deaths—while saving hundreds of thousands of dollars. They tested the detection system over a two-year period at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital, where it was proven to stop outbreaks, save lives and cut costs. “We saved lives while saving money.
Earth Day Special: Earth v. Humans: Granting Nature her Own Rights

1 month ago | laboratoryequipment.com | Michelle Taylor

In 2023, after almost a decade-long legal battle, communities in the Intag Valley of Ecuador won a significant case after a court ruled to halt copper mining in one of the world’s most biodiverse forests—with the plaintiff being an endangered frog species. Now, a group of international authors have published a paper outlining Ecuador’s success in legally championing nature in the hopes of inspiring similar cases on a more global—and consistent—level.
Study Identifies U.S. Hotspots for Drinking Water Quality Violations

About 2 million people in the United States do not have access to running water or indoor plumbing in their homes. In addition, 30 million more Americans live where drinking water systems violate safety rules. Water privatization has been proposed as both a solution to and an exacerbator of these challenges, but its potential consequences had not been investigated on a national scale.
Study: Non-native Black Rats Linked to Spread of Deadly Hantavirus

2 months ago | laboratoryequipment.com | Michelle Taylor

A new study led by an international team of researchers has revealed that the non-native black rat is responsible for transmitting the deadly hantaviruses in rural, biodiverse Madagascar, where forested landscapes have been converted to agriculture and settlements. Hantaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause serious illnesses and death. Hantaviruses found in the Western Hemisphere, including in the U.S., can cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS).

A pan-Canadian team tapped into the power of proteomics to expediently identify and test a drug to target a young patient's tumor in time for necessary treatment. The work was a collaborative effort of PROFYLE (PRecision Oncology For Young peopLE), a key initiative of the Canadian pediatric cancer network ACCESS that brings together more than 30 research and funding organizations and over 100 investigators from across Canada to improve cancer outcomes for children and young adults.
Research Links HPV and Microplastics to Heart Problems

2 months ago | laboratoryequipment.com | Michelle Taylor

Researchers presenting at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session this upcoming weekend are unveiling research that links multiple conditions to fatal heart and cardiovascular disease. In addition to causing several types of cancer, human papillomavirus (HPV) appears to bring a significantly increased risk of heart disease and coronary artery disease. Additionally, researchers linked exposure to microplastics with a heightened prevalence of chronic noncommunicable diseases.
