Chinese researchers are preparing the details for the publication of another scientific milestone, the creation of a chimera with a human heart and a kidney developed from human stem cells in pig embryos. These studies aim to address the shortage of immunocompatible organ donors while shedding light on some of the most fundamental questions in developmental biology.

Is fecal microbiota transplant effective? Is it really safe? And is it really all the same? Scientists at the University of Chicago have investigated the regional differences in gut environments to question these interventions.

Is fecal microbiota transplant effective? Is it really safe? And is it really all the same? Scientists at the University of Chicago have investigated the regional differences in gut environments to question these interventions to analyze the microbiome differences and their effects after transplantation form different intestine areas. The results show how host-microbe mismatches after these interventions could affect gut health.

Epigenetics tells the story of aging blood cells

June 5, 2025
By Mar de Miguel
No Comments
The variety of blood cells decreases with age. Some are lost, while others become dominant, leading to a loss of functional diversity. This, in turn, weakens the immune system in older individuals and increases the risk of developing hematological diseases. Scientists in Barcelona have developed a method based on DNA methylation that works like a barcode. EPI-Clone identifies and traces the origin of blood cells to measure the complexity of these clones in aging humans and mice.

Pan-cancer proteome atlas reveals new biomarkers and targets

June 3, 2025
By Mar de Miguel
No Comments
An international group of scientists has completed the first draft of The Pan-Cancer Proteome Atlas (TPCPA). The project is based on mass spectrometry of 22 cancer types, which has identified more than 9,000 proteins from 1,000 tumors. The results reveal which proteins allow for the classification of different cancer types, biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets, which are now available to the entire scientific community.

Dual-action synthetic peptides could fight superbugs

June 2, 2025
By Mar de Miguel
No Comments
A peptide with a dual mechanism of action – it dissolves the bacterial membrane and activates the immune system – could be an effective weapon against microorganisms that have evolved ways to evade antibiotics, as superbugs do. Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) have designed stable synthetic peptides that activate mast cell receptors, which are cells involved in the innate and adaptive immune response. This dual approach eliminates bacteria and recruits neutrophils to finish the job.

From mice to big animal models in gene therapy for rare diseases

May 23, 2025
By Mar de Miguel
No Comments
The lack of animal models that mimic human disease impedes the study of many pathologies that still lack treatment beyond symptom relief. This is what has happened so far with PURA syndrome, a rare disorder affecting brain development for which a mouse model has finally been developed. Other times, small and large models exist, but an effective treatment remains elusive, as is the case with Krabbe disease, a fatal disease in children that could be prevented with the advances in gene therapy.
