Study shows SARS-CoV-2 prompts NLRP3 inflammasome activation through spike-ACE2 receptor interaction

New research assesses the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation in response to SARS-CoV-2 and its spike protein, and the effects of this exposure in the presence of a-synuclein protein aggregate fibrils.

Research provides a comprehensive map of exercise-induced signaling molecules present in the tissues

It is well established that exercise improves health, and recent research has shown that exercise benefits the body in different ways, depending on the time of day. But scientists still do not know why the timing of exercise produces these different effects.

Maternal transfer of healthier gut bacteria helps neonates to resist biliary atresia

Biliary atresia is a rare disease that occurs when a delicate tree-like set of ducts that carry bile from the liver to the intestine becomes scarred and blocked. While some treatments can slow the damage, most children who develop biliary atresia will die without a liver transplant.
