Study reveals recommended levels of long-term blood sugar to avoid diabetes-related damage

The levels of long-term blood sugar, HbA1c, can be used to accurately determine the risk of a person with type 1 diabetes developing eye- and kidney complications.

Understanding the molecular pathways that underly nutrient switch in starving cancer cells

Cancer cells often grow in environments that are low in nutrients, and they cope with this challenge by switching their metabolism to using proteins as alternative "food".

Living unrelated donor organ transplants are not inferior to deceased donor organs

Do pediatric kidney transplant patients have better long-term outcomes when their kidney comes from living, biologically unrelated donors compared to deceased donors?

Interferon beta reduces binding of three components to RBCs, study finds

Drugs called interferon betas are common treatments for multiple sclerosis (MS), reducing relapses and slowing motor function decline. Interferon beta, a protein known to contain a zinc binding pocket, is thought to reduce proinflammatory molecules and even increase production of anti-inflammatory species in MS patients.

Aldosterone may increase risk of kidney failure in patients with chronic kidney disease

A steroid hormone called aldosterone is linked to an increased risk of kidney failure in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to a study published in the European Heart Journal today (Tuesday).

Researchers find sex differences in the care of chronic kidney disease

Women with reduced kidney function received a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease to a less extent than men in the same situation.

Study indicates that cross-reactive immunity against SARS-CoV-2 N protein was present in Africa prior to the pandemic

Researchers assessed the pre-existing cross-protective immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein and spike protein before the COVID-19 pandemic in individuals residing in North and South America, Europe and Africa in vitro and in vivo.

Scientists explore SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and platelet-activating factor

Researchers assessed the association between platelet-activating factor (PAF) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) protein.

Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with high blood viscosity have greater risk of death

Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 with high estimated blood viscosity are at higher risk of death from complications. High blood viscosity impairs flow to small vessels and increases the risk of blood clots. This measure of blood thickness can be used as a predictor of mortality.
