Allowing the SARS-CoV-2 virus unimpeded access to billions of people has raised the alarm among scientists that variant evolution will most likely lead to another event similar to the one experienced in late 2021 with the emergence of the Omicron BA.1 variant that harbored 35 mutations in its spike protein from the original wild-type variant […]
In response to the blood shortage crisis, governors across the country like Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear have declared the first week of September as “National Blood Donation Week.”It is in an effort to get more blood donors to roll up their sleeves.Emergency rooms treating trauma victims, hospitals treating anemic patients and medical clinics replenishing low […]
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is when the pressure in the blood vessels is consistently over a certain threshold. Blood pressure levels can increase with age as the body changes and blood vessels become stiffer. Blood pressure refers to the force that comes from blood pressing against the walls of the arteries as it pumps […]

Abstract Understanding the genetic and nongenetic determinants of tumor protein 53 (TP53)–mutation-driven clonal evolution and subsequent transformation is a crucial step toward the design of rational therapeutic strategies. Here we carry out allelic resolution single-cell multi-omic analysis of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) from patients with a myeloproliferative neoplasm who transform to TP53-mutant secondary acute myeloid […]
We profiled the dynamics of a natural Bartonella isolate as it infected captive individuals of three rodent species that coexist in nature. We also tracked Bartonella-specific IgG antibody levels in these animals over 140 days after the first inoculation and 60 additional days following their re-exposure to the same strain. In nature, the mean longevity of […]
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne alphavirus that causes chikungunya fever. Currently there are no vaccines or antiviral therapies available for the prevention or treatment of CHIKV infections. Infections by alphaviruses involve both free virus particles (that is, the release of new viral particles from the infected cell into the extracellular fluid, to then infect […]
