Researchers use mouse model to explore correlation of impaired interferon-mediated immune response with severe COVID-19

Researchers developed a highly pathogenic mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 strain to model mild, moderate, or COVID-19.

MCG scientists report how exercise can counter the damage of diabetes

One way exercise can counter the damage of diabetes is by enabling activation of a natural system we have to grow new blood vessels when existing ones are ravaged by this disease, scientists report.

A novel mouse model to test SARS-CoV-2 viral infection

In a recent study posted to the Research Square* preprint server, researchers developed a novel mouse model for testing infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Glucose-lowering treatments may be effective in improving response to exercise training

Exercise carries a long list of benefits for everyone. For people with metabolic diseases like pre-diabetes, type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, physical activity can help keep blood sugar levels in check and stave off diabetes-related nerve damage and heart disease.

Study demonstrates that a low-dose, bivalent, unmodified mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 is highly efficacious

Researchers compared the efficiency of monovalent and bivalent mRNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2.

Scientists identify innovative treatment approach for arterial thromboses

Scientists have shown in an animal model that the CXCL12 messenger could be suitable as a target structure for the treatment of blood-clotting disorders.

Abnormalities in astrocytes may play a key role in causing autism spectrum disorder symptoms

Abnormalities in a type of brain cell called astrocytes may play a pivotal role in causing some behavioral symptoms of autism spectrum disorders, according to a preclinical study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

Using CR2Crry to reduce the negative effects of brain hemorrhaging in premature infants

A little over 1% of babies born in the U.S. in 2020 fell under the category of very low birthweight, meaning they weighed less than 1,500 grams at birth or 3 pounds, 4 ounces. And considering that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says more than 3.5 million babies were born that year, almost 48,500 were considered to be at very low birthweight.

New evidence from a zebrafish model may help understand how epileptic seizures originate

New evidence from a zebrafish model of epilepsy may help resolve a debate into how seizures originate, according to Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigators.

A new approach for treating multiple-drug resistant bacteria

Antibiotic-resistant hospital pathogens are not to be underestimated as a health risk. A research team has now introduced a new approach for treating multiple-drug resistant Staphylococcus in the journal Angewandte Chemie.

Type I interferon found to be major driver of memory, cognitive loss in Alzheimer's disease mouse model

Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common type of dementia, progressively impairs memory, concentration and the ability to learn new things and accomplish everyday activities.

Levels of little-studied enzyme found to decline with age and more dramatically with Alzheimer’s

A little-studied enzyme has been found in high levels in healthy neurons, levels that scientists say decline with age and more dramatically with Alzheimer's, making adjusting the enzyme's level a potential treatment for both.

Researchers reveal possible way to treat newborns with rare genetic lung condition

When babies are born with alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACDMPV), their skin starts to turn blue from the under-oxygenated blood in their systems.

Inhibiting key signaling pathway in immune cells may slow down Alzheimer's disease

Inhibiting an important signaling pathway in brain-resident immune cells may calm brain inflammation and thereby slow the disease process in Alzheimer's and some other neurodegenerative diseases, suggests a study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

UCL researchers boost the effectiveness of therapeutic vaccine for chronic HBV

Scientists at UCL have significantly boosted the effectiveness of a therapeutic vaccine designed to control chronic hepatitis B (HBV) infection, after uncovering and thwarting 'the enemy within'.

Gut microbes play a key role in regulating pancreas function, size and hormone secretion

Gut microbes can regulate the exocrine and endocrine functions of the pancreas and hormone production of the gastrointestinal tract, findings that may help develop potential treatments for diabetes and other diseases, a team of researchers from Boston College, Joslin Diabetes Center, and Maastricht University, Netherlands, report in the journal Diabetes.

Researchers identify certain gene regulation signatures in CAR T-resistant leukemia patients

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells from patients whose cancers did not respond to CD19-targeted CAR T therapy had gene regulation signatures that could potentially facilitate treatment resistance, according to results presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2022, held April 8-13.

13 Apr 2022

Researchers make progress to develop a drug for treating metabolic syndrome

Metabolic syndrome increases a person's risk for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, and includes conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure and high blood sugar.
