Broad-spectrum antiviral activity of picolinic acid against SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A virus

Researchers investigate the potential of picolinic acid (PA) as an anti-SARS-CoV-2 treatment option.

New radio-labeled molecule may allow a non-invasive approach to monitor inflammation in real time

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new radio-labeled molecule capable of selectively reacting with certain high-energy radicals that are characteristic of innate immune activity, which may allow a non-invasive approach to monitor inflammation in real time by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.

Scientists use entire human GI tracts to shed light on cellular functions

If you get nervous, you might feel it in your gut. If you eat chili, your gut might revolt, but your friend can eat anything and feel great. You can pop ibuprofen like candy with no ill effects, but your friend's belly might bleed and she might get no pain relief.

Livers of men with hepatic diseases undergo sex-change

The livers of men diagnosed with hepatic diseases change sex as part of a potential self-protective mechanism, according to University of Queensland research.

Study suggests non-classical inhibition of TBK1/IKKε is protective against severe COVID-19 immunopathology in vivo

A study posted suggested the inhibition of TBK1 and its homolog KKε could decrease the severity of COVID-19.

Inhalable antibody fragments offer broad protection from SARS-CoV-2 variants

A new study describes a potential new approach to treating COVID-19 in the form of single-chain fragment variable (scFv) antibodies.

Mechanism of fatty-acid coupled adaptive immunity in SARS-CoV-2 revealed

A new study explains how SARS-CoV-2 adapts its immunogenicity to the immune response of the host.

Researchers highlight the extent to which NAFLD and diabetes jointly occur worldwide

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become an epidemic, similar to the non-communicable diseases cancer, obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Researchers use an integrated approach to reveal constituents in a multi-herb Chinese medicine

Rooted in ancient knowledge and principles, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used to treat many diseases, sparking the interest of pharmaceutical researchers. TCM formulas are quite complex, requiring multiple herbs for their formulation.

Study identifies a protein complex critical for regulating apoptosis and necroptosis

Cell death plays an important role in normal human development and health but requires tightly orchestrated balance to avert disease. Too much can trigger a massive inflammatory immune response that damages tissues and organs. Not enough can interfere with the body's ability to fight infection or lead to cancer.

Changes in the brain cortex of COVID-19 patients associated with inflammatory biomarkers

Recently, a team of researchers examined the neurotoxic damage to the brain’s cortical region in patients hospitalized due to COVID-19.

Study reveals mechanisms associated with severe blood clotting in COVID-19 patients

After studying blood samples from 244 patients hospitalized for COVID-19, a group of researchers, including those who work at the National Institutes of Health, identified “rogue antibodies” that correlate with severe illness and may help explain mechanisms associated with severe blood clotting.

ChAdOx1 vaccine found to protect Syrian hamsters against SARS-CoV-2 variants

COVID-19 related placental tissue destruction and insufficiency may cause stillbirth and neonatal death from hypoxic-ischemic injury

Researchers evaluate the role of the placenta in causing stillbirth and neonatal death post-maternal COVID-19 and confirmed placental positivity for SARS-CoV-2.
