Polymer-embedded copper-based nanoparticles prevent surface contamination by viruses

In a new study, researchers developed nanocomposite coatings to prevent surface contamination by a human coronavirus (HCoV).

Higher suPAR levels linked with increased risk of blood clot formation

Blood clots are thought to occur in as many as a third of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. In many cases these clots can be deadly, such as pulmonary embolisms - blood clots that travel to the lungs. In fact, in nearly one third of patients with COVID-19, these clots led to death.

Disease progression in the rhesus macaque model upon inoculation with the Delta, Omicron BA.1, and Omicron BA.2 variants

Researchers compared the severity levels of disease caused by different SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern in the rhesus macaque model.

Scientists develop nanoparticle-based biosensing device for rapid and ultrasensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2

Researchers developed a gold nanoparticle-based biosensing device for rapid and ultrasensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 in point-of-care settings.

Fully reduced form of vitamin K found to efficiently inhibit ferroptotic cell death

A team of researchers at Tohoku University has reported on a novel function of vitamin K, which is generally known for its importance in blood clotting.

A combined influenza and COVID-19 mRNA vaccine

A combined mRNA vaccine is capable of inducing broad and durable protection against co-infection with SARS-CoV-2 and IAV,

Hybrid immunity retained six months after SARS-CoV-2 exposure

Scientists hypothesize that lower death rates in COVID-19 patients may be due to hybrid immunity, as well as the reduced severity of Omicron infections.

Queen’s researchers receive grant from Breast Cancer Now to search for new treatments

Researchers at Queen's University Belfast have received funding from Breast Cancer Now to search for new treatments inspired by COVID-19 vaccine innovation.

New study uncovers a likely proteome signature for reductive stress cardiomyopathy

Two years ago, University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers and colleagues reported that reductive stress - an imbalance in the normal oxidation/reduction, or redox, homeostasis - caused pathological changes associated with heart failure in a mouse model.

Researchers unravel mechanism of action of bacterial Tc toxin in fatal attacks

A harmful and often deadly substance made by bacteria, a bacterial toxin manipulates host cell functions and disrupts vital cell processes in a living organism.

Cold exposure could make it harder for cancer cells to grow, mice study shows

Turning down the thermostat seems to make it harder for cancer cells to grow, according to a study in mice by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden.

Women with a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy more likely to develop dementia

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) — conditions of high blood pressure including chronic/gestational hypertension and preeclampsia — have been strongly linked to heart disease in later life, but, before today, little research has connected these disorders with cognition.
