Researchers propose that antimalarial medications could be repurposed to treat COVID-19 Kumar Jeetendra | October 20, 2020 An international group of researchers believe there is enough evidence that anti-malarial drugs could be repurposed to treat COVID-19 and they need to be evaluated for efficacy in clinical trials. The review article, published online in Trends in Parasitology, summarizes the evidence for its antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties of particular anti-malarial drugs which could play …
Antenatal steroids improve preterm infant endurance in low-asset settings, discovers study Kumar Jeetendra | October 24, 2020 The results of a new clinical trial, published today in the New England Journal of Medicine, show that dexamethasone- a glucocorticoid used to treat many conditions, including rheumatic problems and severe COVID-19- may boost survival of premature babies when given to pregnant women at risk of premature birth in low-resource settings. The WHO ACTION-I trial …
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 recognizes biomarker gene mark that demonstrates likely liver toxicity Kumar Jeetendra | December 19, 2020 When agrochemical and pharmaceutical companies develop new products, they must test extensively for potential toxicity before obtaining regulatory approval. This testing usually involves lengthy and expensive animal research. A research team at University of Illinois has developed a gene biomarker identification technique that cuts the testing process down to a couple of days while still …
