Biocompatible photooxygenation catalyst could be conceivably used to treat amyloid infections Kumar Jeetendra | November 26, 2020 The catalyst was able to oxygenate Aβ embedded beneath the skin of a living mouse, and diminished intact Aβ degree in AD-model mouse brain. The new catalyst is potentially useful for the treatment of peripheral amyloid diseases and AD. Toxic aggregation of amyloid peptide and protein is closely associated with a number of human diseases. …
CRISPR-based test could give fast, affordable testing to help control COVID-19 spread Kumar Jeetendra | December 7, 2020 Imagine swabbing your nostrils, putting the swab in a device, and obtaining a read-out on your mobile phone in 15 to 30 minutes which tells you if you’re infected with the COVID-19 virus. This has been the vision for a group of scientists at Gladstone Institutes, University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), and University of …
Revelation may decrease the ecological effect of chemical manufacturing Kumar Jeetendra | February 7, 2021 Chemical manufacturers frequently use toxic solvents such as alcohols and benzene to make products such as pharmaceuticals and plastics. Researchers are analyzing a previously overlooked and misunderstood phenomenon in the chemical reactions used to make these products. Combining metal and ore nanoparticles hastens many chemical reactions and helps maximize yield and profit margins for the …
