S-Nitrosylation of ACE2 inhibits binding of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers developed aminoadamantane nitrates compounds that inhibit the ion channels formed by the envelope (E) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and enable targeted drug delivery of nitric oxide (NO)-related group for S-nitrosylation of host angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which would inhibit ACE2 binding with the viral spike (S) protein and thereby inhibit viral replication in the host.

Researchers reveal why people with allergic asthma are protected from severe COVID

The vast majority of people infected with the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 experience mild cold-like symptoms, moderate flu-like symptoms, or no symptoms at all, but the virus is so transmissible that it still spread deep into lung tissue to cause severe disease and death in thousands of people in the United States in 2022 alone.

GE-led team uses ultrasound to prevent or reverse Type-2 diabetes in preclinical models

Are we moving closer to the day when diabetes is no longer monitored and managed with blood sugar tests, insulin injections and drug treatments? A GE Research-led team, which includes The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, Yale School of Medicine, and Albany Medical College, has demonstrated the ability to prevent or reverse the onset of diabetes in studies of three different preclinical model systems.
