How blood stem cells stay intact for a lifetime

Stem cells in the bone marrow keep replenishing us with blood cells until the day we die. They do this by dividing into a daughter cell that becomes a blood…

HIV: bestowing CD8+ T cells with properties observed in natural controllers

HIV controllers are rare individuals able to control infection naturally without treatment. CD8+ T immune cells play a critical role for these individuals, suppressing viral load in the long term…

Hubble reveals surviving companion star in aftermath of supernova

The discovery helps explain the puzzle of hydrogen loss pre-supernova, and supports the theory that most massive stars are paired. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered a witness at the…

New tool integrates microbiome and host genetic sequencing analysis

A new software tool makes it easier to study relationships between a host, its microbiome and pathogens like HIV or SARS-CoV-2. Researchers at Texas Biomedical Research Institute and Tulane University…

Self-propelled, endlessly programmable artificial cilia

Simple microstructures that bend, twist and perform stroke-like motions could be used for soft robotics, medical devices and more. For years, scientists have been attempting to engineer tiny, artificial cilia…
