    Researchers grow new serological assay for discovery of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies

    Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have developed a novel serological assay for the detection of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus which causes COVID-19. Rebecca DuBois, associate professor of biomolecular engineering at UC Santa Cruz, said the new method her staff developed is as accurate as the most dependable antibody tests now available, but is less

    Basic dietary enhancement enhances schizophrenic traits in mice

    After additional experiments, including visualizing the fluorescently stained dancing advantage of brain cells, researchers concluded that the nutritional supplement likely protects proteins which build neurons’ mobile skeletons. The supplement betaine was initially isolated from sugar beets and is often associated with sweetness or umami flavor. Healthy levels of betaine come from both outside food sources

    Novel platform has potential to detect many disease-related biomarkers in just one test

    Most conventional molecular diagnostics usually detect only one disease-related biomarker. Fantastic examples are the PCR tests now used to diagnose COVID-19 by detecting a particular sequence from SARS-CoV-2. Such so-called singleplex methods give reliable results because they are”calibrated” to a single biomarker. However, determining whether a patient is infected with a new SARS-CoV-2 version or
