“People think of statistics as just sitting at the computer and working on math and methods, but we're really motivated to develop these statistics to improve public health,” Rebecca Kahn CDC told Stephanie DeMarco, PhD about her maternal GBS vaccine model. ow.ly/74tq50TfCg1

In an effort to make damaged kidneys more viable for donation, Giuseppe Orlando Wake Forest University School of Medicine and his collaborators transplanted mitochondria, Samantha Borje reports. ow.ly/alNc50T8Ocp

The 2024 mpox outbreak involves a deadlier strain than the 2022 outbreak. Researchers developed an mRNA vaccine, mRNA-1769, which shows stronger protection than the traditional MVA vaccine and could improve responses to future outbreaks. ow.ly/2qsC50Thz27

Dopamine is in organs besides the brain, which might explain the systemic side effects of antipsychotics. Modified bromocriptine selectively stimulated pancreatic dopamine receptors and may compete with antipsychotics, reducing metabolic side effects. ow.ly/9nsz50TgzPQ

Researchers are trying out some pretty unexpected ways to get the heart to regenerate after a heart attack. Jens Tank DLR - English told Allison Whitten, PhD about his team’s work putting patients into the largest hypoxic chamber in the world. 🎧 Listen here: ow.ly/OVf650SXPqU

In 2010, scientists described plectasin’s mechanism using micelles, but these didn’t mimic real membranes. Researchers Utrecht University found that in biological membranes, plectasin forms large supramolecular structures to disrupt bacterial cell walls. ow.ly/NwUT50T8OUx
