New cell-based assay shown to rapidly profile drug resistance to three widely used SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibiting drugs

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* pre-print server, researchers tested three next-generation severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) main protease (Mpro) inhibitors, namely, nirmatrelvir, ensitrelvir, and FB2001, using a novel cell-based assay.

Omega-3 fatty acids may be protective against contracting or suffering adverse outcomes of COVID-19

A study just published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN) explored the role of omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, and whether they might be protective against contracting and/or suffering adverse outcomes of COVID-19 infection.

Could spices boost protein intake in older adults?

Poor eating often exacerbates aging problems, resulting in inadequate protein intake among older adults. This, in turn, may cause muscle wasting, reduced function, and poor quality of life. A new research paper looks at the role of spices in boosting the attractiveness of typical foods in this age group.
