Study shows how microglia contribute to slowdown of neuron activity linked with Alzheimer’s

One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is a reduction in the firing of some neurons in the brain, which contributes to the cognitive decline that patients experience.

Simple, effective method can detect protein misfolding at an early stage of neurodegenerative disease

Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease are caused by folding errors (misfolding) in proteins or peptides, i.e. by changes in their spatial structure.

Analyzing whether SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid and spike proteins stimulate dendritic or γδ T cells

Researchers showed that the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) and spike (S) proteins did not activate γδ T cells and dendritic cells (DCs).

Vaccine generates antibodies that target SARS-CoV-2 spike protein regions shared among many coronaviruses

Could the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine reawaken previous antibody responses and point the way to a universal coronavirus vaccine? A new analysis of the antibody response to a COVID-19 vaccine suggests the immune system's history with other coronaviruses, including those behind the common cold, shapes the patient's response, according to a study published today in Cell Reports.
