Investigating the missing link between COVID-19 and anosmia

A new study evaluated how SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to anosmia via chromatin structure disruption and OR dysregulation. For this purpose, publicly available Hi-C data of OSNs of SARS-CoV-2-infected and control human subjects were used.

Researchers discover how patients with mutations in a DNA sequence develop pancreatic malformations

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation have identified a DNA sequence that is crucial for pancreatic differentiation and function – and for the first time – describe how it works.

Scientists discover a mechanism used by insects in the development and regeneration of wings

The first mutation of the wingless gene was found by accident in Drosophila in the 1970s, following the observation of flies that did not possess wings, hence its name.

New combination therapy shows potential to improve survival in children with neuroblastoma

Children who suffer a relapse of the aggressive cancer known as neuroblastoma have small chances of survival.

Increasing the production of new neurons rescues memory defects in mice with Alzheimer's disease

Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have discovered that increasing the production of new neurons in mice with Alzheimer's disease (AD) rescues the animals' memory defects.

SARS-CoV-2 variant neutralization and novel mAbs reveal protection against Omicron in new research

Researchers assessed the SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) transmission dynamics and neutralization by vaccine-induced antibodies and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).

Single dose of aged mouse blood in young mice causes senescence

Scientists performed heterochronic blood exchange in male mice and observe that aged mouse blood triggered cell and tissue senescence in younger mice.

Combination of new testing methods helps identify multiple dementia risk genes

A new UCLA-led study has identified multiple new risk genes for Alzheimer's disease and a rare, related brain disorder called progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) by using a combination of new testing methods allowing for mass screening of genetic variants in a single experiment.
