Researchers study the mechanisms that prevent autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus or multiple sclerosis after an infection.
This knowledge can provide targets in the search for novel bone-loss therapeutics to treat osteoporosis.
A fatty acid-derived bioactive molecule called lipoxin improved heart function after a heart attack, as the lipoxin prompted early activation of the resolving phase of the immune response.
These new results, led by primary author Warner Huh, M.D., strengthen the promise that vaccination with Gardasil 9 can reduce 90 percent of cervical cancers.
This gene silencing by ubiquitinated histone is vital in normal embryo development, and it goes awry in some cancers.
UAB researchers want to create new treatments for these banes of cardiovascular disease.
Researchers have discovered the mechanism of this control, with implications for developmental biology, the immune response and cancer dysregulation.
Early exposure to science, technology and medicine is the start of a path to STEM careers.
The inhibitor blocks Streptococcus mutans from sticking on the tooth surface. About 2.3 billion people worldwide have tooth decay in their permanent teeth, primarily caused by this bacteria.
An enthusiastic teacher and a fascinating topic lit his desire to learn. Now the veteran is building bone scaffolding with a three-dimensional bioprinter.
