Researchers at WashU Medicine have identified a possible way to make glioblastoma cells vulnerable to different types of immunotherapy. The strategy, which they demonstrated in cells in the lab, forces brain cancer cells to display targets for the immune system to attack. Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive cancers, as illustrated by these brain scans from a patient with glioblastoma at initial diagnosis (left) and the same patient with a recurrent tumor (right).

Zahra Fatahimeiabadi, a graduate student in the lab of Sudip Bajpeyi, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Kinesiology at The University of Texas at El Paso (not pictured), demonstrates a resistance workout while using neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). Bajpeyi leads a team of researchers whose new meta-analysis study, published this month in the European Journal of Applied Physiology, found that combining NMES with resistance training leads to greater muscle mass and strength compared to resistance training alone.

Scientists were recently surprised to find that the natural community of zooplankton — tiny, aquatic animals known to graze on bacteria — present in freshwater and saltwater do not clean water that is contaminated with fecal microorganisms. Pictured: One of the zooplankton found in the water samples is the adult copepod, a miniature crustacean that is about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.

Zooplankton go “Eew!” to cleaning feces-contaminated water
