Genetic variants that sway protein restricting in immune cells can cause autoimmune disease Kumar Jeetendra | April 17, 2021 Certain genetic variants that cause modified protein binding in immune cells, are also seen in people at high risk of some autoimmune diseases, new research has found. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute in Spain, and the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS) discovered that specific genetic variants, which …
Researchers enlighten how a few antibodies can viably disable ebolaviruses Kumar Jeetendra | April 18, 2021 Some survivors of ebolavirus outbreaks create antibodies that may broadly neutralize those viruses–and today , scientists at Scripps Research have illuminated how these antibodies can disable the viruses so efficiently. The insights might be helpful for developing effective treatments. Ebolavirus is a family of often-deadly viruses that includes Ebola virus and lots of lesser-known viruses …
FDA denies EUA for monoclonal antibody treatment bamlanivimab to treat patients with COVID Kumar Jeetendra | April 18, 2021 Now, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration revoked the emergency use authorization (EUA) that allowed for the investigational monoclonal antibody treatment bamlanivimab, when administered alone, to be utilized for treating mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults and certain pediatric patients. Based on its ongoing analysis of emerging scientific data, specifically the sustained increase of SARS-CoV-2 viral variants …
New examination reveals insight into complex brain measure that learns and structure new memories Kumar Jeetendra | April 19, 2021 Making memories involves over seeing friends or taking photos. How neurons do so –reaching out arm-like dendrites to communicate with other neurons–requires a ballet of genes, signaling molecules, cellular scaffolding and protein-building machinery. A new study from scientists at Scripps Research and the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience finds a fundamental role for one …
