Single virus binds to a single receptor, study reveals

In Europe, the pandemic triggered in 2020 by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is now largely under control. But why this virus is able to spread so efficiently remains unclear. A team of researchers led by Dr. Simone Backes, Dr. Gerti Beliu and Prof. Dr. Markus Sauer of the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg (JMU) has now shown in a publication in "Angewandte Chemie" that some previous assumptions need to be reconsidered.

Parasite-host "coupling" mechanism could lead to new treatments for malaria

Transmitted through infected mosquitos, the malaria parasite, once in the human bloodstream, synchronously ruptures red blood cells and rapidly infects new red blood cells, beginning the cycle anew.

Electronic health records identified as hidden source of bias impacting clinical trials

Results of clinical trials are only as good as the data upon which they rest. This is especially true in terms of diversity - if most people in a trial are from a certain race or socioeconomic group, then the results may not be broadly applicable.

Study reveals surprising link between biological age and child development

Study explores the relationship between accelerated biological age in children, as indicated by telomere length and DNA methylation age, and various developmental outcomes. It aims to clarify the impact of accelerated biological age on growth, cognition, behavior, lung function, and puberty onset in European school-age children.

Scientists uncover key molecular culprit in ALS: PEG10 gene implicated in pathogenesis

UBQLN2 dysfunction in ALS leads to elevated PEG10 levels, suggesting a role for retrotransposon activity in the disease. PEG10's nuclear localization alters gene expression involved in axon remodeling, implicating it as a contributing mechanism in ALS.
