Metalloproteinase-dependent entry pathway differentially used by SARS-CoV-2 Delta, Alpha, and Omicron variants

Researchers examined how SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern differentially use an additional metalloproteinase-dependent entry pathway to enter the host cells.

Covid aid to protect Montana prisons and jails sits unused

Last summer, Montana created a list of more than a dozen upgrades for its state prison facilities to protect inmates and staffers from covid-19 infections, all of which would be paid for with nearly $2.5 million in federal covid relief money.

Research reveals why a common genetic variant worsens outcomes for people with ALS and FTD

A pioneering new study led by UCL and National Institutes of Health (NIH) scientists has revealed, for the first time, why a common genetic variant worsens disease outcomes for people with the devastating adult-onset neurodegenerative diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Immune responses in patients with varying degrees of SARS-CoV-2 infection

In a recent research article published in the journal PLoS ONE, researchers looked at immunological responses in relation to established risk factors for serious illness. This prospective cohort study reports on long-lasting SARS-CoV-2 specific antibody and T-cellular immune responses six months after infection in rt-PCR confirmed cases of different illness severity (community and hospitalized patients).

Scientists discover how a rare genetic disorder disrupts key neural interactions in the developing brain

Every time you chew, talk, yawn, or sense the zap of a toothache, cranial nerve cells are shuttling electrochemical signals to your brain.

First reported case of a cat infected with SARS-CoV-2 Delta AY.3 variant

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is hurting our loved ones — even those that walk on four legs. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania documented the recovery of an 11-year old indoor housecat living in Delaware who first presented to the veterinary hospital after experiencing distressing gastrointestinal symptoms.

Study shows how certain RNA molecules control the repair of damaged DNA in cancer cells

A new study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows how certain RNA molecules control the repair of damaged DNA in cancer cells, a discovery that could eventually give rise to better cancer treatments. The study is published today in the journal Nature Communications.

Abdominal obesity may lead to greater risk of COPD and asthma in women

Obesity has been linked to a wide array of health problems. A new study suggests that abdominal obesity as measured by body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference, may result in a greater risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
