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.

Scientists receive $3.9 million NIH grant to eradicate HIV from the brain

Finding a cure for HIV has been extremely difficult, in part because the virus hides from antiretroviral treatments in one of the hardest places to reach: the brain.

Damaging effects of blue light exposure worsen with age

The damaging effects of daily, lifelong exposure to the blue light emanating from phones, computers and household fixtures worsen as a person ages, new research by Oregon State University suggests.

Study shows how changing stroke care protocols could improve triage and patient's survival

Implementing severity-based field triage leads to faster treatment and less disability for stroke patients. The research presented today at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery's 19th Annual Meeting, and now published online in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery, shows that states that use field-based stroke severity triage as part of their Emergency Medical Systems (EMS) transport protocols give severe stroke patients more rapid access to specially trained neuroendovascular care teams and lifesaving thrombectomy.

Research can pave the way for early detection of biliary tract cancer

One of the deadliest forms of cancer is biliary tract cancer. Only one in three patients diagnosed with the disease is operable. The rest must settle for life-sustaining treatment.

Hearing issues often occur among adult cancer survivors, study reports

While children receiving chemotherapy routinely undergo hearing tests, adults don't, and a new study by UC San Francisco reports for the first time that significant hearing issues often occur among adult survivors of the most common forms of cancer.
