For example, in fruit flies, the process starts with stem cells that divide into mother cells (progenitor cells), that then divide into precursor cells that eventually become neurons. A team of the University of Michigan (U-M), spearheaded by Nigel Michki, a graduate student, and A...
Date Time Share New research reveals how one antibody blocks dangerous effects of dengue virus infection, offering a potential path to prevention Researchers have revealed how one antibody (in green) is able to neutralize a protein that is central to the dengue virus’s ability to cause disease, by blocking the protein’s ability to interact with host cells. Image credit: Rajani Arora, U-M Life Sciences Institute A team of researchers has discovered an antibody that blocks the ability of the dengue virus to cause disease in mice. The findings open the potential for developing effective tre...
