Plasma coagulation factor VII (FVII), FIX and FX have been shown to be effective antibacterial proteins against drug-resistant gram-negative bacteria and may offer alternative strategies for combating the increasingly urgent global health threat posed by those resistant pathogens.
HONG KONG – The complexity of interactions between the interleukin-17 (IL-17) family of receptors and ligands has been elucidated in a Chinese study, which may lead to development of specific targeting strategies for treating IL-17-related autoimmune inflammatory diseases, notably psoriasis.

Korean scientists have developed magnetically controlled micro-robots as a platform for the culture and delivery of targeted stem cell therapy, which were shown to function successfully in a three-dimensional (3D) in vitro micro-organ model mimicking the in vivo environment.
A study led by Agency of Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) scientists has shown that subpopulations of lung cancer cells have different metabolic dependencies. The insight highlights the need to understand cellular metabolism within the context of tumor heterogeneity and promoting development of targeted therapies.

A tissue-engineered knee meniscus, seeded with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) under biomechanical and biochemical stimuli in vitro, has been shown to promote anisotropy and have a functional chondroprotective effect on the knee, a Chinese study reported in the April 10, 2019, issue of Science Translational Medicine.
South Korean neuroscientists and bioengineers have successfully developed a new blood test for Alzheimer's disease (AD), which was shown to be capable of rapidly distinguishing between AD patients and individuals with normal cognition, with selectivity and sensitivity exceeding 90%.
