#grabstract of the day

Red blood cells infected with Babesia parasites can suddenly move around the bloodstream, even though healthy red blood cells can't move on their own.

Check out the latest publication from our group, led by Chao Li, Amy Apgar, and Danielle Tufts, with support from @NIH and @NSF —Acquired motility of Babesia microti–infected red blood cells | PNAS https://t.co/h5rEuqN6iJ

[CMU College of Engineering @CMUEngineering]

.@CMU_ChemE and @cmu_bme's Tagbo Niepa observed that red blood cells infected with B. microti can move. It may be a way for the parasite to evade the immune system, and the discovery opens up new methods to prevent and treat infection.

Researchers have developed polymeric nanocultures composed of iron-oxide nanoparticles, providing a field-ready approach for cultivating and studying environmental microbes under near-native conditions.

I want PA to get back to normal just as much as anyone else does. But it won’t happen magically, and it won’t happen overnight.

My first focus is on the health and safety of our people, and I refuse to compromise on that. I’m relying on data and experts to plan ahead.
