Novel surface treatment could help improve safety of medical devices, prevent hospital infections

A hospital or medical clinic might be the last place you'd expect to pick up a nasty infection, but approximately 1.7 million Americans do each year, resulting in nearly 100,000 deaths from infection-related complications and roughly $30 billion in direct medical costs.

Study explores macromolecular viral entry inhibitors as broad-spectrum first-line antivirals with anti-SARS-CoV-2 activities

Researchers created polystyrene sulfonate with significantly different molar masses, constructed these polymers as an exterior around spherical gold nanoparticles of various sizes to improve multivalency effects, measured antiviral effects of the antivirals on numerous viruses in vitro, and investigated the method of interaction of the leads with SARS-CoV-2 and lentiviral particles.

Scientists identify the role of phospholipid in maintaining epithelial cellular adhesion

Cells have certain proteins that help them adhere to each other while covering body surfaces and organs. Loss of these identifying proteins could result in cellular progression towards cancer and, subsequently, metastasis.

Study reveals underlying signaling pathway that results in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a type of high blood pressure in the lungs, in which blood vessels are narrowed, blocked or destroyed, causing the heart to work harder and, in time, result in cardiac weakness and failure.
