NTU scientists discover why NAFLD patients are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease

Patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease, because NAFLD prompts the over-production of a class of proteins that cause inflammation and damage to their blood vessels.

Correlation between long-COVID and physical inactivity

In a recent study under review at the Scientific Reports journal and posted to the Research Square* preprint server, researchers assessed whether physical inactivity in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) survivors led to the development of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), also known as long-COVID.

Biodegradable, non-ionic polymeric nanovesicles efficiently encapsulate and deliver siRNA

Small interfering RNAs, or siRNAs, hold promise to treat tumors, through their ability to specifically knock down oncogenes that promote tumor growth, without the toxicity that accompanies chemotherapy. However, the siRNAs need a delivery vehicle to protect them from degradation and clearance on their journey through the bloodstream to the cancer tumor.

COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness wanes more quickly in cancer patients, study finds

A study co-led by the Universities of Oxford, Birmingham and Southampton and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), published in Lancet Oncology today by the UK Coronavirus Cancer Evaluation Project, has found that while COVID-19 vaccination is effective in most cancer patients, the level of protection against COVID-19 infection, hospitalisation and death offered by the vaccine is less than in the general population and vaccine effectiveness wanes more quickly.
