Discovery could lead to new treatments for schistosomiasis

A team led by UTSW researchers has identified a molecule produced by male parasitic worms called schistosomes that prompts sexual maturity in females of these species.

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron breakthrough infections induce antibodies with cross-variant neutralization potential and recall memory B cells

Researchers reported breakthrough infections by SARS-CoV-2’s new variant of concern, Omicron, that elicited broadly cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies in the BNT162b2-vaccinated individuals.

Study suggests severe neuroinvasion by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals with alcohol use disorder

Researchers investigated the effect of repeated alcohol exposure and withdrawal on angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and transmembrane serine protease 2 expression, putative regulators of SARS-CoV-2 entry, in discrete brain regions.

Study analyzed several naturally-occurring amino acid variations found in the extended loop harboring the SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 cleavage site

A recent study analyzed the polymorphisms in the SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins' S1/S2 subunits.

New compound delivered in a nasal spray effectively treats delta variant infection in mice

Researchers have shown a new compound delivered in a nasal spray is highly effective in preventing and treating COVID-19 caused by the Delta variant in mice.

New, potential treatment combination for patients with aggressive head and neck cancer

The current treatment of patients diagnosed with advanced or metastatic head and neck cancer (HNC) is ineffective.

Tuberculosis infection protects mice against COVID-19

To study if prior Mtb infection affects the response to CoV2 infection, K18-hACE2 (ACE2) and C57BL/6 (B6) mice were infected with Mtb, and post thirty days, were exposed to CoV2.

How does the non-structural protein 1 affect COVID-19 pathogenicity?

Researchers discuss the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein 1 (Nsp1), which binds to the ribosomal subunit thus inhibiting translation.

Spray-on technology using customized gold nanoparticles could help treat heart disease

Could a spritz of super-tiny particles of gold and peptides on a damaged heart potentially provide minimally invasive, on-the-spot repair?

New technique generates high resolution 3D images of lung disease in free-breathing mice

In a first for X-ray imaging, researchers in Sweden generated high resolution, three-dimensional images of the lungs of free-breathing mice, without using mechanical ventilation.

Study reveals the potential of novel antiviral drug combinations to stop COVID-19 spread

Researchers from Columbia Engineering, Fiocruz's Center for Technological Development in Health and the Oswaldo Cruz Institute in Brazil, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Rockefeller University recently reported that, by combining inhibitors of polymerases and exonucleases--enzymes that allow SARS-CoV-2 to reproduce--they were able to reduce SARS-CoV-2 replication 10 times more than when using just the polymerase inhibitors.
