Discovery can lead to new antiviral treatments against Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have identified key signaling pathways that when blocked by existing drug candidates limit reproduction of the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus.

New therapeutic option for HPV-positive head and neck carcinoma discovered

The various manifestations of head and neck carcinomas rank sixth in frequency worldwide and are fatal for about half a million people every year. In a quarter of cases, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) and, currently, is not always treatable.

Why cheap, older drugs that might treat covid never get out of the lab

In March 2020, Dr. Joseph Vinetz left the contemplative world of his Yale University infectious-disease laboratory and plunged into the covid ward at Yale New Haven Hospital, joining an army of health care workers who struggled to treat the deadly viral disease.

New study pinpoints how immune checkpoint protein LAG3 modulates T cell activity

Fighting cancer and chronic disease is tiring work for the immune system. When T cells are engaged in this kind of lengthy battle, they can become exhausted, or unable to function properly.

Better understanding of hydrocephalus could lead to improved treatments

Hydrocephalus, or "water on the brain," occurs when the cerebral ventricles - four interconnected cavities of the brain that are filled with cerebrospinal fluid - become enlarged, but its cause is unknown in many cases.

Solid bone marrow aspirates may be a promising therapeutic approach for promoting wound healing

A new study compares the regenerative potential of blood/bone marrow aspirate concentrates obtained from arterial blood, venous blood, and bone marrow aspirate. The study, conducted in rabbits, is reported in the peer-reviewed journal Tissue Engineering Part A.

Research shows tsRNA as a promising biomarker for early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most primary liver cancer. It is one of the most common and mortal cancer worldwide, especially in East Asia. Advanced HCC patients expect a significantly low 5-year survival rate as well as poor prognosis.

Study investigates the production of a virosome-based COVID-19 vaccine candidate

In a new study, different signal peptides, baculovirus transfer vectors, cell lines, infection techniques, and formulation buffers were investigated with the purpose of building a scalable bioprocess to generate high-quality S protein for incorporation in a virosome-based COVID-19 vaccine candidate.
