Neutrophils in the Immune System Help Build Healthy Skin
Yale School of Medicine

Neutrophils, the most abundant immune cells in our bodies, are known for their destructive roles: killing pathogens, clearing out infections, and, sometimes to our detriment, wreaking havoc on surrounding tissues in the process.

Explaining the Link Between ‘Good’ Gut Bacteria and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Ohio State University

After spending years tracing the origin and migration pattern of an unusual type of immune cell in mice, researchers have shown in a new study how activity of “good” microbes in the gut is linked to rheumatoid arthritis and, potentially, other autoimmune diseases.

Towards a FAIR Database for Molecular Simulations
Fundació Institut de Recerca Biomèdica (IRB BARCELONA)

More than 100 experts in molecular simulation, coordinated by IRB Barcelona, have published an article in Nature Methods advocating for a paradigm shift in molecular dynamics data management. The article defends the implementation of the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) to improve the reproducibility of calculations and facilitate their later use as a source of information on the flexibility of biomacromolecules. Led by Drs. Modesto Orozco and Adam Hospital, the article proposes the establishment of a shared infrastructure for storing and reusing data in the context of the AI revolution.

Researchers Say a Genetic Mutation and Evolutionary Trick Makes Horses Athletic, Finding May Spur Treatments for Human Disease
Johns Hopkins Medicine

How did horses become some of the greatest athletes in the animal kingdom? Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine may have found the answer, pinpointing a genetic mutation and evolutionary process that occurred millions of years ago, which appears to have optimized horses’ speeds and stamina.

KIAA1199: A New Player in Adipogenesis and Whole-Body Energy Regulation
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A recent study has revealed that KIAA1199, a secreted protein produced by bone marrow cells, plays a crucial role in regulating both fat formation and overall energy metabolism. The protein's impact extends beyond bone remodeling, influencing glucose and lipid metabolism. Mice lacking KIAA1199 showed reduced fat mass, improved insulin sensitivity, and a decreased risk of obesity-related diseases. These findings suggest that targeting KIAA1199 could lead to new therapeutic strategies for combating metabolic disorders like obesity and type 2 diabetes.

مايو كلينك تكتشف تغيّرات في خلايا الدماغ قد تفسر متلازمة توريت
Mayo Clinic

روتشستر، مينيسوتا — كشفت دراسة جديدة من مايو كلينك أن الأشخاص المصابين بمتلازمة توريت يملكون عددًا أقل بنسبة تصل إلى 50٪ من نوع محدد من خلايا الدماغ التي تساعد في تهدئة الإشارات الحركية المفرطة، مقارنةً بالأشخاص غير المصابين. وقد يكون هذا النقص سببًا رئيسيًا في عدم كبح الإشارات الحركية، مما يؤدي إلى التشنجات اللاإرادية التي تُعد السمة المميزة لهذا الاضطراب.

Mayo Clinic revela cambios en las células cerebrales que podrían explicar el síndrome de Tourette
Mayo Clinic

Un nuevo estudio de Mayo Clinic descubrió que las personas con síndrome de Tourette poseen aproximadamente la mitad de un tipo específico de célula cerebral responsable de calmar los signos de movimiento hiperactivo, en comparación con las personas sin la condición. Este déficit puede ser una razón crucial por la cual las señales motoras no se controlan adecuadamente, lo que lleva a los tics involuntarios que caracterizan el trastorno.

Mayo Clinic Uncovers Brain Cell Changes That Could Explain Tourette Syndrome
Mayo Clinic

A new Mayo Clinic study finds that people with Tourette syndrome have about half as many of a specific type of brain cell that helps calm overactive movement signals as people without the condition. This deficit may be a key reason why their motor signals go unchecked, leading to the involuntary tics that define the disorder.

Scientists Identify Agent of Transformation In Protein Blobs That Morph From Liquid to Solid
Rutgers University-New Brunswick

An international research collaboration led by Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists that examined microscopic blobs of protein found in human cells has discovered that some morph from an almost honey-like substance to a hard candy-like solid. These mysterious droplets, known as biomolecular condensates, solidify when they carry a high proportion of the protein alpha-synuclein, the scientists reported in Science Advances. Clumps of alpha-synuclein are commonly found in the brain cells of people with Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative brain disorder.
