Masks act as a physical barrier against the virus that causes COVID-19, helping prevent the virus from sneaking into the body and binding to ACE2 receptors on lung and airway cells. Now, UCSF researchers have published work on a new way to neutralize the virus once it’s already in the body: by blocking the interaction between the virus and ACE2. The team engineered antibody-like molecules -- still in early development -- that "straitjacket" the virus and prevent it from binding with cells. They’

FIRST LOOK: You’re watching the twists and turns of a vital type of cell membrane protein called an integrin (pronounced “INT-uh-grin”) that sits embedded in the surface of all animal cells. Cells use integrins to connect, communicate, and respond to their environments. When searching for a connection, an active integrin bends and sways at a flexible midpoint “like a sunflower seeking the sun.” It’s a dance never before seen in high resolution.

An exciting discovery from UCSF and Cedars-Sinai researchers could be the first step toward growing human organs from scratch, a long-time goal of regenerative medicine! They identified cells that can be programmed to prompt other stem cells to form rudimentary, organ-like structures — including one that contracts like a beating heart. "These engineered 'organizer' cells could someday enable us to repair and replace organs in the patients (who) need it," UCSF's Wendell Lim says. Learn more ➡️ ht
