Nanopillars create tiny openings in the nucleus without damaging cells
University of California San Diego

UC San Diego researchers have created an array of nanopillars that can breach the nucleus of a cell—the compartment that houses our DNA—without damaging the cell’s outer membrane. This new "gateway into the nucleus" could open new possibilities in gene therapy, where genetic material needs to be delivered directly into the nucleus, as well as drug delivery and other forms of precision medicine.

Do Coyotes Have Puppy Dog Eyes? New Study Reveals Wild Canines Share Dog's Famous Expression
Baylor University

New research from Baylor University reveals that coyotes, like domestic dogs, have the ability to produce the famous "puppy dog eyes" expression. The study – "Coyotes can do 'puppy dog eyes' too: Comparing interspecific variation in Canis facial expression muscles," published in the Royal Society Open Science – challenges the hypothesis that this facial feature evolved exclusively in dogs as a result of domestication.

Cleveland Clinic Researchers Build First Large-Scale Atlas of How Immune Cells React to Mutations During Cancer Immunotherapy
Cleveland Clinic

A Cleveland Clinic-led research collaboration between Timothy Chan, MD, PhD, Chair of Cleveland Clinic’s Global Center for Immunotherapy, and Bristol Myers Squibb has published the most comprehensive overview to date of how our immune system reshapes tumor architecture in response to immune checkpoint therapy. The eight-year study, published in Nature Medicine, outlines how cancer immunotherapy induces tumor recognition through neoantigens to reshape the tumor ecosystem.

National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering

Cancer cells frequently overhaul their surroundings, making tumors stiffer than nearby healthy tissue. While tumor stiffening makes some cancers easier to detect — this is why physicians feel for hard lumps in the body — it can also ramp up tumor growth and drug resistance. New research suggests that these detrimental changes are not set in stone, however.

Political Scientist Explores Extending Constitutional Duties to Private Actors
University of Notre Dame

New research from Christina Bambrick, the Filip Family Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame, explores the nonconventional idea that each of us, as private citizens, may be responsible for upholding the constitutional rights of our fellow citizens. She examines constitutional politics across the globe to explore these different approaches to balancing rights and responsibilities in a democratic society.

American Society of Nephrology Launches the Glomerular Diseases Collaborative (Gd-C) to Address Gaps in Knowledge and Barriers in the Care of People with Glomerular Diseases
American Society of Nephrology (ASN)

Chronic kidney disease is a progressive condition that affects more than 10% of the general population worldwide, amounting to 800 million individuals.1 Glomerular diseases (GD), excluding diabetic nephropathy, account for approximately 25% of the cases of kidney diseases worldwide.2 Given the magnitude of long-term morbidity from GD— particularly the frequent manifestation in younger patients—diagnosing it efficiently and optimizing management to control diseases and prevent progressive kidney diseases is paramount.

New Images of RSV May Expose Stubborn Virus’s Weak Points
University of Wisconsin–Madison

The complex shape of respiratory syncytial virus is one hurdle limiting the development of treatments for an infection that leads to hospitalization or worse for hundreds of thousands of people in the United States each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. New images of the virus from researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison may hold the key to preventing or slowing RSV infections.
