Researchers develop little intestinal cells from human-actuated pluripotent stem cells Kumar Jeetendra | February 8, 2021 A group of scientists from Japan have found success in growing small intestinal cells, akin to those found in the human body, from human-induced pluripotent stem cells. They assert that the grown cells may be used for laboratory studies focusing on human small intestinal drug metabolism and transport. Because of this, studies on the absorption …
Study uncovers molecular mechanisms of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Kumar Jeetendra | April 9, 2021 A consortium of researchers from Russia, Belarus, Japan, Germany and France led by a Skoltech scientist have uncovered the way by which Mycobacterium tuberculosis survives in iron-deficient states by using rubredoxin B, a protein by a rubredoxin family that play an essential role in adaptation to changing environmental conditions. The new study is part of …
