Phantosmia, parosmia, and dysgeusia in COVID-19 patients

A team of researchers investigated qualitative aspects of olfactory and gustatory symptoms such as phantosmia, parosmia, and dysgeusia and their possible co-relation with the adaptive immune system.

Efficacy of UVC light prototype devices for inactivating SARS-CoV-2

Researchers examined the efficacy of UVC light prototype devices to understand the duration and wavelength of UVC radiation needed for SARS-CoV-2 inactivation.

New imaging software can accurately diagnose jaundice in the blink of an eye

Imagine a system that can detect within one second whether a newborn baby has jaundice, a condition affecting 60 per cent of infants, and in severe cases leading to brain damage and hearing loss.

Nanocomputing agent controls the function of protein involved in cell movement, cancer metastasis

The creation of nanoscale computers for use in precision health care has long been a dream of many scientists and health care providers.

What genes affect the COVID-19 gender imbalance?

Many studies have established that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is more infective in men than women, and men are more at risk of severe disease. While some have suggested that behavioral differences could explain increased transmission to men, this does not explain the more morbid prognosis.

How effective is the COMIRNATY BNT162b2 vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 Lambda variant?

Now, researchers from Public Health Services Israel have been investigating a new variant called Lambda to see if it qualifies as a variant of concern. Their research is published in the journal Eurosurveillance.

3D cell culturing platform allows study of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a deadly and rapidly progressing disease with no cure. The disease involves abnormal interactions between lung cells, including fibroblasts, and their surrounding environment.

Young adults with cancer may require different treatments than older patients

Not all tumors are alike. Young adults who are diagnosed with skin, colon, and other cancer types may require different treatments than older patients receive.

Novel long-read sequencing reveals complete repertoire of brain-expressed gene isoforms

New research led by the University of Exeter has shed light on the complexity of gene expression in the brain by characterizing the extent of isoform diversity in the human and mouse cortex, including the identification of novel isoforms of genes involved in diseases including Alzheimer's disease, autism and schizophrenia.

Researchers shed light on how brain cells ‘navigate’ during the day and night

To navigate successfully in an environment, you need to continuously track the speed and direction of your head, even in the dark.

Tighter blood pressure management may lead to better spinal cord injury recovery

Patients with new spinal cord injuries whose blood pressure is maintained within a newly defined range during surgery may stand a better chance of regaining some mobility and functionality – even in patients with the most devastating injuries – according to a new study by researchers at UC San Francisco.

16 Nov 2021

New metabolic vulnerabilities of subsets of triple-negative breast cancer discovered

Researchers have identified a metabolic enzyme and pathway in some triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients, which they hope could serve as a biomarker to select patients to receive targeted therapy.

Scientists identify new gene that contributes to type 1 diabetes progression

When the pro-inflammatory pair, a receptor called CCR2 and its ligand CCL-2, get together, it increases the risk of developing type 1 diabetes, scientists report.

COVID-19 booster shot extremely beneficial for most cancer patients

Most cancer patients who had no measurable immune response after being fully vaccinated for COVID-19 were helped by a third vaccine dose, according to a new study by investigators at the Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center.

Study: Covid-19 vaccine-elicited immune cells persist six months after vaccination

A recent study by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers provides evidence that CD4+ T lymphocytes — immune system cells also known as helper T cells — produced by people who received either of the two available messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines for COVID-19 persist six months after vaccination at only slightly reduced levels from two weeks after vaccination and are at significantly higher levels than for those who are unvaccinated.

Two genetic risk variants in Black individuals may exacerbate sepsis and COVID-19 severity

Two genetic risk variants that are carried by nearly 40 percent of Black individuals may exacerbate the severity of both sepsis and COVID-19, a team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine have found.
