Tannic acid plays a role in inhibiting three key molecular pathways involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection

Professor Charles Ramassamy and his postdoctoral researcher Mohamed Haddad at Institut national de la recherche scientifique, in collaboration with scientists from Université de Montréal, McGill University, and Université du Québec à Montréal, believe that tannic acid plays a role in inhibiting three important molecular pathways involved in the SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Novel intervention after concussion may reduce subsequent injury risk

As assistant professor of orthopedics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, David Howell, PhD, understands the relationship between concussions and subsequent injury in athletes - namely, that after suffering a concussion, athletes at all levels are more likely to sustain another injury within the next year.

Using metal oxide nanoparticles as 'radiosensitizers' for gentler cancer treatment

Radiation therapy is one of the cornerstones of cancer therapy. However, some types of tumor respond little or hardly at all to radiation. If it were possible to make tumor cells more sensitive, treatment would be more effective and gentler.

Older female cancer survivors face challenges with physical activity due to chronic lower extremity lymphedema

A new study has found that nearly one third of older adult female survivors of colorectal, endometrial and ovarian cancer have quality of life-impacting challenges with physical activity due to chronic swelling (lymphedema) in the lower extremities.

Study examines the safety, efficacy of old 'forgotten' antibiotic for treating resistant bacterial infections

The results make it possible to expand the treatment options for infections for which few alternatives exist, while at the same time helping to avoid increasing resistance to the usual drugs.

Interdisciplinary researchers team up on $15 million NSF grant to establish an institute in ‘imageomics’

Researchers in three different disciplines at Virginia Tech are partnering in a $15 million grant from the National Science Foundation to establish an institute in the new field of "imageomics," aimed at creating a new frontier of biological information using vast stores of existing image data, such as publicly funded digital collections from national centers, field stations, museums, and individual laboratories.

Study elucidates link between mothers’ exposure to air pollution and low-birth-weight babies

Since babies with low birth weight often have poor health outcomes, there is considerable interest in identifying the factors that affect birth weight.
