Study reveals how pathogens exploit a key cellular process to intoxicate cells

What our work shows is how a complex in the center of the cell, the ER-Golgi interaction region, controls plasma membrane cholesterol, which is essential for many cellular functions, if not essential for multicellular life.

Researchers find new way to deliver a protein quickly, effectively and briefly to the brain

Many diseases have at their origin a protein that does not function properly. Now, a multidisciplinary research team with Texas A&M AgriLife and Texas A&M University has found a way to deliver a protein quickly, effectively and briefly to the brain, with therapeutic and scientific implications.

Rational treatment strategies for SARS-CoV-2 derived from human pluripotent stem cells models

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers in Australia explored the molecular mechanisms of the pulmonary and cardiac complications caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection using human stem-cell-derived cardiac and lung cells.

Researchers uncover a new way the immune system detects coronavirus infection

In a recent study posted to bioRxiv*, researchers in the United States demonstrated that the main protease (Mpro) of coronaviruses (CoVs) activates host inflammasome responses.

27 Sep 2022

Study looks at boosting with variant-derived COVID vaccine

In a recent study posted to bioRxiv*, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, demonstrated that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine booster elicits robust germinal center (GC) B cell responses.

Novel nanozyme protects bones against damage from radiation

University of Central Florida material sciences engineers Melanie Coathup and Sudipta Seal have designed a cerium oxide nanoparticle - an artificial enzyme - that protects bones against damage from radiation.

26 Sep 2022

Study finds remdesivir-resistant version of COVID-19 in renal transplant recipients

Recent studies have shown that patients with weakened immune systems—which enables the virus that causes COVID-19 to remain longer in the body, copy itself, and continually change—may enable the development of new, slightly different versions of the virus (variants).
