Waterloo Technology profiles Compounds in blood of COVID-19 Sufferers Kumar Jeetendra | July 29, 2020 A world-leading University of Waterloo spinoff company, that decodes blood samples for potential treatments for illnesses such as cancer and COVID-19, is expanding operations with the support of a 5-million USD investment. Bin Ma, a University of Waterloo computer engineering professor who co-founded Rapid Novor at 2015, says that the company’s technologies is the most …
CRISPR-based framework smothers qualities identified with AAV antibody production Kumar Jeetendra | September 9, 2020 Gene therapy generally is based on viruses, such as adeno-associated virus (AAV), to deliver genes into a cell. In the event of CRISPR-based gene therapies, molecular scissors can then snip out a faulty gene, add in a missing arrangement or enact a temporary change in its expression, but the body’s immune response to AAV can …
Patients’ own stem cells can be utilized to develop new bones, study shows Kumar Jeetendra | November 23, 2020 A new, groundbreaking study from the University of Bergen (UiB) shows that a patients’ own stem cells can be used to grow new bone. This can potentially help millions of people who are partially edentulous and have inadequate bone for placement of dental implants. The Maxibone Project, coordinated by Pierre Layrolle, Inserm, University of Nantes, …
Hematoxylin compounds can specifically kill CALR mutant cancer cells Kumar Jeetendra | December 11, 2020 Patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), a group of malignant diseases of the bone marrow, often have a carcinogenic mutated form of the calreticulin gene (CALR). Researchers of the research team of Robert Kralovics, Adjunct Principal Investigator in the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and team leader at the …

Study clarifies the impact of getting old on hematopoietic stem cells Kumar Jeetendra | December 25, 2020 By shifting mouse elderly hematopoietic stem cells (aged HSCs) to the environment of young mice (bone marrow niche), it was shown that the pattern of stem cell gene expression was rejuvenated to that of young hematopoietic stem cells. On the other hand, the function of elderly HSCs failed to recover in the young bone marrow …
Putatively juvenile dendritic cells may actuate hearty resistant reactions in young children Kumar Jeetendra | January 20, 2021 A study by Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich researchers demonstrates that putatively immature dendritic cells found in young children are able to induce strong immune responses. Dendritic cells are a vital component of the innate immune system, which represents the body’s first line of defense against infectious agents and tumor cells. Their job is to trigger …
Researchers develop experimental direct-acting antiviral treatment to treat COVID-19 Kumar Jeetendra | May 18, 2021 An international team of scientists from the Menzies Health Institute Queensland (MHIQ) at Griffith University and from City of Hope, a research and treatment center for cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases in the U.S., have developed an experimental direct-acting antiviral therapy to treat COVID-19. Conventional antivirals reduce symptoms and help people recover earlier. Examples …
Mild cases of COVID-19 give enduring antibody, shows study Kumar Jeetendra | May 24, 2021 Months after recovering from mild cases of COVID-19, people still possess immune cells in their body pumping out antibodies against the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a study from researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Such cells could persist for a lifetime, churning out antibodies all of the while. The …
