Interesting read on how doctors used a genetically engineered phage for the first time on a teenage girl to successfully treat a superbug infection. Historical Moment !

“The idea is to use bacteriophages as antibiotics—as something we could use to kill bacteria that cause infection.” https://t.co/OaLjw85sBb

Several years ago, researchers discovered that Humana Natural Killer cells may actually have the ability to form “memories” of previous antigens and play a role in adaptive immunity, independent of B and T cells. Mice were used in this experiment.

[The Scientist @TheScientistLLC]

Human natural killer cells, previously considered not to participate in adaptive immunity, remember viral antigens after initial exposures, according to a new study. https://t.co/9jBpeCyc0w

Since we’re learning about HIV in lab I thought this article could be interesting ! An HIV patient went into remission after getting a stem cell transplant with cells that can’t make one of the surface proteins that the virus needs in order to enter our T-Cells. Possible cure? 🤔

For only the second time in recorded medical history, a man’s HIV infection has gone into remission. https://t.co/hsiikDdmzW

This article discusses how the parasite that causes malaria has evolved to resist the drugs that scientists have developed to fight this disease. Interesting read !

“If you look at the [PubPeer] comments, [there are] claims of duplications for pretty much every single figure. . . and raw data that did not match figures in the paper.” https://t.co/KH4Ka9714W

Interesting article on how small microRNA-containing particles that are found in plants can boost populations of healthy gut bacteria, and also improve colitis symptoms in mice !

It’s great to know that scientists are taking measures to treat a largely neglected illness known as depression.

[Science News @ScienceNews]

Scientists are inching closer to an audacious goal: A device implanted in the brains of severely depressed people to detect a looming crisis coming on and zap the brain out of it. It sounds farfetched, and it is. #longreads https://t.co/fk1dAs9QCo

This is an interesting paper on the relationship between CTC cells and neutrophils and how they drive cell cycle progression. It is believed that this interaction can be useful in finding a treatment for breast cancer.
