Using deoxyoligonucleotides to bind proteins with high sensitivity and specificity

Meet some of the people featured in the June 2021 issue of The Scientist.

Sound from cars, aircraft, trains, and other man-made machines is more than just annoying. It increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.

The FDA and CDC are investigating a handful of reports of blood clots that occurred several days after people received the one-and-done shot.

Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) technology offers the sensitivity to reveal hidden biomarker information

John Connolly and Masataka Nishiga discuss the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the neurological and cardiovascular systems.

Mice that experienced heart attacks underwent a large-scale shift in their immune systems that allowed cancer to flourish, perhaps explaining the observation in patients.

The cholesterol-lowering drugs quell inflammation and reverse endothelial tissue damage, hints that they might curb the body’s excessive immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Early reports from hospitals document a spike in large vessel blockages, especially among people in their 30s and 40s who tested positive for the coronavirus.

Emerging data as well as knowledge from the SARS and MERS coronavirus outbreaks yield some clues as to why SARS-CoV-2 affects some people worse than others.

A bioengineered heart made of pig and synthetic tissues beats like the real thing.

A study in mice reveals that stem cell transplants, currently in clinical trials, may not actually require the cells.

Scientists show the approach can kill cells that cause hardening of heart tissue in mice.

Researchers seek to untangle the biological mechanisms linking resident microbes to our hearts—and to harness them therapeutically.

A comparison of thousands of former athletes in the two sports finds that NFL players were more likely than MLB players to die from cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, in particular.

By zooming in on a developing mouse heart, scientists are studying whether defects in vasculature contribute to a thin muscle wall.

Primates receiving heart transplants from genetically engineered pigs have survived more than six months, a new study reveals.

The scientists involved have hired lawyers to fight the conclusions of a recent investigation into some studies of Diovan in Japan.

Researchers identify two blood-clotting proteins that could be biomarkers for cardiovascular reactions in patients with leprosy.
