Heidelberg researchers replicate rare genetic defect in fish model

A rare genetic defect that affects the so-called ALG2 gene can cause serious metabolic diseases in humans. It does so through the defective formation of proteins and sugar molecules.

Can antioxidants help manage neurological complications in COVID-19?

In a recent study published in Antioxidants, researchers evaluated the use of antioxidants as potential adjuvants for the treatment of COVID-19.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission in the North American deer mouse

A recent study conducted in Canada reports that the North American deer mouse can be infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) from humans.

Repeated vaccination could control infection with SARS-CoV-2 variants among infection-naïve individuals

Researchers have suggested that repeated vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 may enable previously uninfected individuals to cope with viral variants.

Indian SARS-CoV-2 variant has unique infection and immune escape strategy say researchers

Researchers have conducted a study suggesting that the B.1.617 lineage of SARS-CoV-2 that emerged in India has evolved a unique strategy.

Higher levels of antibodies from COVID-19 mRNA vaccine compared to natural SARS-CoV-2 infection

Researchers found antibody levels in mRNA vaccinated individuals varied with age, gender, and previous coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection.

Vaccinated individuals previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 show robust neutralization of the B.1.1.7 variant

New research published in the journal Viruses suggests recovering from a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection provides immunity against the B.1.1.7 (or UK) variant. The time when the previous infection took place and the variant involved in prior infection influenced cross-neutralization.

Longitudinal study finds SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies decline a year after infection

Research led by Xin Zheng of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China, found that about 90% of patients who recovered from COVID-19 continued to have IgG antibodies targeting the N-domain and receptor-binding domain of the spike protein. However, approximately 43% of patients showed signs of neutralizing antibody activity.

Researchers review the origins of SARS-CoV-2 and present treatment methods

A million more questions arise for every answer we have against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Where did it come from? And will it ever go away? A recent article published in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology reviews what scientists currently know about the origin, SARS-CoV-2 structure, and potential treatments against this new virus.

Animal and plant-based protein-rich foods are not metabolically equivalent, finds study

Dietary protein is needed to supply essential amino acids for the synthesis of the structural and functional components of living cells. Thus, food protein quantity and quality are both essential for good health.

Caterpillar’s venom shows promise for use in medicines, pest control

The venom of a caterpillar, native to South East Queensland, shows promise for use in medicines and pest control, Institute for Molecular Bioscience researchers say. The Doratifera vulnerans is common to large parts of Queensland's south-east and is routinely found in Toohey Forest Park on Brisbane's southside.

More than 16 million Americans had undiagnosed SARS-CoV-2 infections during first wave

As many as 16.8 million Americans had undiagnosed SARS-CoV-2 infections - 5 times the rate of diagnosed infections - by the end of July of 2020, according to an analysis of antibodies from more than 8,000 previously undiagnosed adults collected during the pandemic's first wave.

New project aims to identify quantitative biological features common across diseases

Building on the success of innovative research by the PRISM project, the Innovative Medicine Initiative 2, a joint undertaking between the EU and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), has backed the program with funding for a new project to explore the underlying biology of Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

Psychological stress can cause hair to turn gray

Legend has it that Marie Antoinette's hair turned gray overnight just before her beheading in 1791.Though the legend is inaccurate--hair that has already grown out of the follicle does not change color--a new study from researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons is the first to offer quantitative evidence linking psychological stress to graying hair in people.

Albumin supplementation improves human fertility, fights infection

A new University of California, Irvine-led study reveals albumin (Alb), among the most abundant proteins in the body, activates a proton channel (hHv1), also widespread in the body, giving sperm the ability to penetrate and fertilize an egg, and allowing white blood cells to secrete large amounts of inflammatory mediators to fight infection.
