Dosing recommendations should always be respected while taking herbal supplements

Herbal supplements may be natural, but that does not mean they are always safe. A new case report appearing in Heart Rhythm Case Reports, an official journal of the Heart Rhythm Society, published by Elsevier, is a case in point.

Novel approach allows islet transplants to survive and control diabetes

In type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune response attacks the pancreas's insulin-producing beta cells, leading to marked fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Lifelong daily insulin treatments are standard for patients, but replacing lost beta cells through transplants of islets, a group of cells in the pancreas, represents an attractive option.

Study shows how co-transplanting islet cells with SA-FasL-microgels reverses diabetic symptoms

Islet cell transplants are a promising treatment that can cure difficult-to-treat type 1 diabetes. The cells, taken from a donor pancreas, provide patients with a sustainable and tightly controlled source of insulin.

Artificial circular RNAs found to bypass cellular antiviral responses

Researchers produced artificial circular ribonucleic acid sponges in a permuted intron-exon system and showed that these did not activate innate immunity.

How do mosquito bites affect immunity?

A new study looks at the immunomodulatory effects of mosquito bites, using Aedes aegypti as the model species and humans as the host.

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.

RNA splicing abnormalities in COVID-19 patients

This study entailed the integration of multiple-omics datasets to examine the dysregulation in the host splicing mechanism and alteration in protein isoforms among COVID-19 patients.

New study pinpoints how immune checkpoint protein LAG3 modulates T cell activity

Fighting cancer and chronic disease is tiring work for the immune system. When T cells are engaged in this kind of lengthy battle, they can become exhausted, or unable to function properly.

Study predicts that different statins exhibit divergent effects on host response to SARS-CoV-2 infection

A new study explores the possibility that different statins may exhibit different effects within the host and may differ in their outcomes while treating COVID-19 patients.

Intensity and longevity of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination response in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory disease

Researchers investigated the longevity and intensity of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine immune response in patients suffering from immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.

Heart complications uncommon for children and young adults after SARS-CoV-2 infection

Heart complications are uncommon, yet treatable for children and young adults after COVID-19 disease or SARS-CoV-2 infection, according to a new scientific statement from the American Heart Association that details what has been learned about how to treat, manage and even prevent cardiovascular complications from the SARS-CoV-2 virus in youth.
