SARS-CoV-2 evolution promoted by long-term infection in patient with B cell depletion

A new study published on the medRxiv* preprint server focused on a patient with a persistent symptomatic viral infection for over a year. Researchers amplified sub-genomic transcripts for the E gene (sgE) using nasopharyngeal samples of the patient infected with SARS-CoV-2 over the course of 335 days.

Tiny bubbles show promise for reducing inflammation

Scientists hope that tiny sacs of material excreted by cells - so-called extracellular vesicles - can be used to deliver drugs inside the body. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet now show that these nano-bubbles can transport protein drugs that reduce inflammation caused by different diseases.

Toxic fatty acids trigger cell death in damaged neurons

Cells that normally nourish healthy brain cells called neurons release toxic fatty acids after neurons are damaged, a new study in rodents shows.

Detailed atlas of the mammalian primary motor cortex will provide a springboard for future research

The NIH Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN) has unveiled an atlas of cell types and an anatomical neuronal wiring diagram for the mammalian primary motor cortex, derived from detailed studies of mice, monkeys, and humans.

Black NSCLC patients receiving immunotherapy have lower risk of death than white counterparts

Non-Hispanic Black patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who were treated with immunotherapy had a lower risk of death than their non-Hispanic white counterparts treated with immunotherapy, according to results presented at the virtual 14th AACR Conference on the Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved, held October 6-8, 2021.

Durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 reinfection

The current study used data on the durability of immunity among evolutionarily close coronavirus relatives of SARS-CoV-2 to estimate times to reinfection.

Collins’ skillful piloting helped NIH steer clear of political minefields

It's remarkable that the reputation of the National Institutes of Health has remained mostly intact through the covid-19 pandemic, even as other federal science agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have come under partisan fire.

Gene expression changes during acute SARS-CoV-2 infection may decide long-COVID symptoms

A team of US-based scientists has recently revealed the changes in gene expression profiles associated with the long-term consequences of COVID-19.

Enisamium shows potential as antiviral therapy for COVID-19

Researchers studied the effect of enisamium on the growth and proliferation of Caco-2 and normal human bronchial epithelial cells.

First of its kind ‘living medicine’ designed to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria on medical implants

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation and Pulmobiotics S.L have created the first 'living medicine' to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria growing on the surfaces of medical implants. The researchers created the treatment by removing a common bacteria's ability to cause disease and repurposing it to attack harmful microbes instead.

Children's brain development largely at risk due to common chemicals

Chemicals increasingly used as flame retardants and plasticizers pose a larger risk to children's brain development than previously thought, according to a commentary published today in Environmental Health Perspectives. The research team reviewed dozens of human, animal, and cell-based studies and concluded that exposure to even low levels of the chemicals - called organophosphate esters - may harm IQ, attention, and memory in children in ways not yet looked at by regulators.

Study shows strong protective effect of IgG3 antibodies in SARS-CoV-2 infection

Researchers published a study on the expression and functional analyses of a neutralizing mAb with identical variable domains but different constant HCs, representing IgG1-4.
