Plant production of nanobodies that neutralize the interaction between ACE2 receptor and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

Researchers demonstrated the production of nanobodies against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

SARS-CoV-2 mutational spectra based on reconstructed phylogenetic tree

In a new study, researchers assessed the impact of mutagenesis on the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genome and the effects of mutations in the neutral regions and non-neutral regions of the genome.

New study uncovers a likely proteome signature for reductive stress cardiomyopathy

Two years ago, University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers and colleagues reported that reductive stress -; an imbalance in the normal oxidation/reduction, or redox, homeostasis -; caused pathological changes associated with heart failure in a mouse model.

Nutritive intervention could be an effective treatment method in maintaining human health

In a new study, researchers assessed the impact of dietary regulation on human health and disease.

Study shows SARS-CoV-2 impairs interferon production through NSP2-induced repression of mRNA translation

Researchers discovered a SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein 2 (NSP2)-mediated mechanism by which it suppresses the production of interferon-beta (IFN-β) in host cells.

Mustard seed extract suppresses hydrogen peroxide levels in juice products

Researchers hypothesize that proteins with low nutritional value could be effectively used for antioxidant stabilization in orange juice.

Discovery suggests a new way to slow or stop metastatic spread of pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer, though rare, is one of the deadliest of cancers, killing nearly 50,000 people yearly and doing so quickly, primarily because it metastasizes rapidly through the body. Barely one in 10 people survive beyond five years.

Researchers discover a molecular switch that promotes pancreatic cancer metastasis

More than 62,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer by the end of this year, with the vast majority having a deadly and aggressive subtype known as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA).

Diet supplemented with or deficient in methionine affects gene expression related to liver cell fat metabolism

Having shown that diet can influence gene expression, science is starting to find out more about how this happens.

Scientists discover a potential new method of active immunization to prevent Alzheimer's disease

During experiments in animal models, researchers at the University of Kansas have discovered a possible new approach to immunization against Alzheimer's disease (AD).

4 May 2022

How diet and nutrition impacts lifespan

In a recent study published in the journal Cell, researchers analyzed the association between human longevity to growth and metabolic pathways.

Researchers discover molecular mechanisms underlying extreme need for amino acids in neuroblastoma

Certain childhood tumors have an extreme need for amino acids. Scientists at the Hopp Children's Cancer Center Heidelberg (KiTZ), the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the University of Heidelberg, and HI-STEM gGmbH have now discovered the molecular mechanisms underlying this and how the cancer cells could be turned off.

COVID-19 may affect a group of biochemical reactions called one-carbon metabolism

A new study addresses the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 to the metabolism of one-carbon molecules in the host, suggesting new therapeutic pathways.

13 Apr 2022

Researchers discover over 40 new genetic markers for Alzheimer’s disease

A new Nature Genetics study describes over 70 gene markers that appear to be significantly associated with AD risk using translational genomics.

6 Apr 2022

Framework for genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro evolution

A recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server investigated the active genetic evolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) main protease (Mpro), its emerging mutations, and the existence of antiviral resistance against Mpro inhibitors like paxlovid.
