By genetically-modifying these same parasites, researchers in Seattle recently created a vaccine that appears to be safe and effective in generating an immune response to malaria in a small study of human volunteers. The work is part of a global effort to eliminate the suffering caused by malaria through improved testing, treatment, vector ...
Researchers are targeting a key protein involved in this process, in an attempt to stop the parasite. They found that interfering with this protein slows the escape of the parasite from red blood cells, reducing the rate of infection and making it easier for the body to shut it down. The research findings were published July 6 in PLOS Pathogens.
The pathogen referred to as a "nightmare bacteria" is quietly adapting and spreading faster than anticipated.. If you are not yet familiar with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), it is quickly becoming a household term for severe antibiotic-resistant infections.
A new study just out reveals that HIV takes hold in the human body with the help of cells that usually work to heal, not kill. HIV invades the body through genital or rectal mucous membranes. Exactly how that occurs on a molecular level was not understood until now. The study reports a common mucosal cell may be responsible for increasing the ability of HIV to infect human immune cells.
Spaceflight is considered an accelerated model of aging. Using data from people and animals who have been to space I hope to understand and characterize the aging process of bones and tendons. In my free time I love to hike, downhill ski, and go on runs with my dog.

Strawberries were weighed daily as a measure of degradation. (1) Strawberries and bananas without the new wrap (left) and with (right). (2) Whole and halved tomatoes and sliced apples, without the new wrap (left) and with (right). Images via Hayriye Ünal. After 10 days, tomatoes wrapped with the new film were fresher than the ones wrapped in ...
The unit includes extensive lesson plans, multi-media content, hands-on activities, and a full package of materials and supplies for each teacher. The project has three sections, and each section is introduced via a video showing an evening newscast in which the reporters present data about various changes local residents are detecting relative ...
