Scientists at UMC Utrecht have developed a new technology to efficiently isolate a specific subset of gut bacteria from fecal samples that are recognized by IgA antibodies. These ‘IgA-coated’ bacteria are associated with an array of diseases and this proposed new technology has the potential to uncover the mechanisms behind these correlations and eventually lead to new treatment strategies.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov 14, 2024 --- Insilico Medicine(“Insilico”), a global leading generative artificial intelligence (AI)-driven biotechnology company, will be hosting Pharma.AI Week featuring in-depth webinar series from November 19-21.

On April 8, 2024, the Einstein Probe (EP) captured an unusual transient, EP240408a, with its panorama lobster-eye telescope. The newly emerged source exhibited a brief yet intense X-ray flare, lasting only 12 seconds, 300 times stronger than the underlying X-ray emission observed, before fading away within 10 days. With its unique radiation characteristics, this event does not align with any known transient types, suggesting a possible novel category of cosmic transient phenomena. The first official EP science paper from the team, published in "Science China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy" on October 30, details this finding.

In a feature article published in SCIENCE CHINA Chemistry, Ming Gong’s group summarized their latest progresses in exploring the effects of ions on electrocatalytic reactions, outlined the current challenges and opportunities in the study of ion effects, and provided insights into future research directions.
