Proteomic analysis of metabolic adaptation in a unicellular cyanobacterium during light-dark cycles and nitrogen fixation

October 13, 2025

Cyanobacteria have evolved specialized proteins and pathways to efficiently carry out photosynthesis and biological nitrogen (N2)-fixation (BNF). To deepen our understanding of these processes, we performed proteomic analysis of the unicellular cyanobacterium Crocosphaera subtropica ATCC 51142 grown with and without nitrate under 12-hour light-dark cycles.

Wearable smart textile band for continuous equine health monitoring

October 12, 2025

Continuous physiological monitoring is well-established in human healthcare for early disease detection and management. However, translation of these technologies to large animals such as equines remains underdeveloped due to anatomical constraints, dense hair coat coverage, and requirements for unimpeded mobility.

Flu season has arrived – and so have updated flu vaccines

October 10, 2025

Every year, influenza – the flu – affects millions of people. Most will experience the infection as a mild to moderate illness – but for some, it can be severe, potentially resulting in hospitalization and even death.

Hyaluronic Acid Matrices for In Situ Measurement of Protein Diffusion Coefficients

October 7, 2025

In vitro measurement of protein diffusion within matrices that simulate the subcutaneous (SQ) environment is of interest, given that protein-based therapeutics formulated for SQ injection comprise the largest class of biologics.

Purdue Research Reveals Role of Fat in Brain Immune Cells and Potential Alzheimer’s Therapy

September 30, 2025

Recent research from Purdue University is challenging longstanding beliefs about the role of fat in the brain, particularly in relation to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Findings published in the journal Immunity indicate that excess fat accumulation in microglia, the brain’s resident immune cells, significantly impairs their ability to combat disease. This insight suggests a new avenue for therapies targeting lipid biology, potentially enhancing microglial function and overall neuronal health.
