NIH scientists discover key pathway in lysosomes that coronaviruses use to exit cells
NIH
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have discovered a biological pathway that the novel coronavirus appears to use to hijack and exit cells as it spreads through the body. A better understanding of this important pathway may provide vital insight in stopping the transmission of the virus — SARS-CoV-2 — which causes COVID-19 disease.

Persistence of viral RNA, pneumocyte syncytia and thrombosis are hallmarks of advanced COVID-19 pathology
The Lancet
COVID-19 is a deadly pulmonary disease with peculiar characteristics, which include variable clinical course and thrombophilia. A thorough understanding of the pathological correlates of the disease is still missing. Here we report the systematic analysis of 41 consecutive post-mortem samples from individuals who died of COVID-19. Histological analysis is complemented by immunohistochemistry for cellular and viral antigens and the detection of viral genomes by in situ RNA hybridization.

New 3D cell culture method points to personalized cancer therapies
Purdue University
Each cancer patient’s tumors have cells that look and act differently, making it difficult for scientists to determine treatments based on tumors grown from generic cell cultures in the lab.
Now, thanks to a new 3D cell culture technique developed by Purdue University researchers, it may be possible to personalize treatment by understanding the contributions of different cell types in a tumor to the cancer’s behavior.

Midbrain organoids for automated chemical screening and disease research
Medical Xpress
Sometimes hundreds of thousands of potential therapeutics need to be tested in large-scale, fully automated experiments to identify a single effective drug. Most compounds do not work as desired, and some are even toxic. Since the development of the induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) Cell technology in 2006, researchers have been able to produce stem cells from skin biopsies and blood samples.

Improving sensitivity of liquid biopsy using 'loosely stacked' detection layers
News-Medical.Net
By detecting DNA fragments in body fluids like urine, some types of cancer can already be traced in an early stage. But in order to capture them, detection sensitivity has to be improved.
Researchers of the University of Twente in The Netherlands (MESA+ Institute) use electrically charged polymers for this. Not just one layer of this, but dozens. In this way they manage reaching a 25 times higher sensitivity, as they show in Chemistry of Materials journal.

The culture of cell culturing: be careful not to contaminate!
Technology Networks
In vitro cell culture is a vital aspect of basic and biomedical research. Cell culture can be readily and rapidly used to test a hypothesis and collect preliminary data before more time-consuming in vivo experiments. It is also a useful screening tool, for example for drug screens or genetic experiments, by virtue of ease of scaling and amenability to high throughput. The importance of cell culture to research cannot be understated.

Implantable device can monitor and treat heart disease
ScienceDaily
Researchers reported developing a cardiac patch made from fully rubbery electronics that can be placed directly on the heart to collect electrophysiological activity, temperature, heartbeat and other indicators, all at the same time.
