After SARS-CoV-2 infection, anti-chemokine antibodies correlate with better outcomes

A recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server illustrated that specific chemokine antibodies aid in recognizing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) convalescent individuals with a desirable disease course.

Scientists discover a gene defect that results in allergic and autoimmune disease

Inflammation of the skin and the esophagus, food allergy and asthma are just some of the symptoms of a now 12-year-old boy who was the first to have a mutation on the IL-33 gene. An international team led by a physician from the Karl Landsteiner University for Health Sciences, Krems, discovered this new disease entity.

The role of pyroptosis in COVID-19

Researchers investigate the mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 induces NLRP3 inflammasome formation leading to pyroptosis.

Biodegradable, non-ionic polymeric nanovesicles efficiently encapsulate and deliver siRNA

Small interfering RNAs, or siRNAs, hold promise to treat tumors, through their ability to specifically knock down oncogenes that promote tumor growth, without the toxicity that accompanies chemotherapy. However, the siRNAs need a delivery vehicle to protect them from degradation and clearance on their journey through the bloodstream to the cancer tumor.

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies from breast milk persist in infants’ digestive tract

The current preliminary investigation study published in the journal Nutrients sought to investigate the longevity of anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin (Ig)A and IgG in breast milk during the in vitro-simulated gastrointestinal digestion.

Hydration restores airway integrity in people with cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis is a rare genetic disease which can cause very serious symptoms. In particular, patients suffer from chronic bacterial infections that can lead to respiratory failure.

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies persist in breast milk, even after gastrointestinal digestion

Researchers evaluate the persistence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgA and IgG in breast milk before and after in vitro gastrointestinal digestion.

UAB researchers track the behavior of microplastics inside a living organism

A UAB research team has managed to track the behavior of microplastics during their "journey" through the intestinal tract of a living organism and illustrate what happens along the way.

Can human coronaviruses infect the GI tract?

Researchers review current findings on how human coronaviruses like SARS-CoV-2 might cause GI symptoms.

22 May 2022

Exploring the possibility of whether surface ACE2 carried by extracellular vesicles can facilitate SARS-CoV-2 infection

Researchers explored whether surface ACE2 carried by EVs can facilitate the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells.
