Study reveals wasteosomes as markers of chronic glymphatic system insufficiency

A new study led by researchers from the University of Barcelona shows that wasteosomes - structures that act as containers for brain waste products - indicate a malfunction of the glymphatic system, a recently discovered system that is an important brain-cleaning mechanism.

Phase 2/3 clinical trial shows that Clover’s vaccine candidate reduces household transmission of SARS-CoV-2

Clover Biopharmaceuticals, Ltd., a global clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel vaccines and biologic therapeutics, and the International Vaccine Institute, an international nonprofit organization devoted to providing vaccines critical to global public health and based in Seoul, Korea, today announced that Clinical Infectious Diseases has published additional data from SPECTRA, a global Phase 2/3 clinical trial, that showed vaccination with SCB-2019 (CpG 1018/Alum) reduced the risk of transmitting SARS-CoV-2 infection to household members, compared to placebo participants.

Scientists discover how an enzyme involved in DNA repair becomes vital to tumor survival

Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute, in collaboration with Artios, have identified how an enzyme involved in DNA repair (POLQ), becomes vital to the survival of certain cancers, if the cancer cells lose the ability to use a more common method of DNA repair.

Research finds higher rate of rare tandem repeats in the genomes of individuals with schizophrenia

In our cells, the language of DNA is written, making each of us unique. A tandem repeat occurs in DNA when a pattern of one or more nucleotides – the basic structural unit of DNA coded in the base of chemicals cytosine (C), adenine (A), guanine (G) and thymine (T) – is repeated multiple times in tandem. An example might be: CAG CAG CAG, in which the pattern CAG is repeated three times.
