PAXLOVID shown to be highly effective against all SARS-CoV-2 variants

A recent study, currently available on bioRxiv* preprint server, shows that a novel protease inhibitor known as nirmatrelvir has potent activity against Omicron variant of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), but also other variants evaluated in this paper – which supports its potential role in reducing the disease burden from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

New approach to help diabetes patients maintain healthy glucose levels

Before consuming a meal, many people with diabetes need to inject themselves with insulin. This is a time-consuming process that often requires estimating the carbohydrate content of the meal, drawing blood to measure blood glucose levels, and then calculating and delivering the correct insulin dose.

Researchers uncover new findings about the role of tau in neurodegenerative disease

Utilizing cutting-edge proteomics, researchers at the Buck Institute and elsewhere have mapped the "tau interactome" uncovering new findings about the role of tau in neurodegenerative disease. Publishing in Cell, scientists found that mutant tau impacts the function of mitochondria in human neurons.

The tetrapeptide tuftsin effectively impairs the binding of SARS-CoV-2 S1 to ACE2

In their recent study posted to the preprint server bioRxiv*, the researchers from China have shown that tuftsin, a natural phagocytosis-stimulating peptide, can effectively impair the binding of SARS-CoV-2 spike S1 subunit to ACE2 receptor in a dose-dependent manner and therefore can be considered a potential drug against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
