Study uncovers the complex cell mechanism of Ebola Kumar Jeetendra | July 8, 2021 Mount Sinai researchers discovered the intricate cellular mechanisms of Ebola virus. This could help to explain the severe effects on people and provide potential treatment or prevention. The team published a study in mBio that showed how VP24, a protein from the Ebola virus interacts with the double-layered cell membrane (known as the nucleus) and …
Scientists test a library of lipid-based compounds to empower safe RNA drug delivery to Lungs Kumar Jeetendra | July 30, 2021 Japan’s Hokkaido University researchers created and tested a collection of lipid-based compounds in order to deliver RNA drugs safely and effectively to the lungs. The findings were published in Materials Horizons. The COVID-19 pandemic response made it all more familiar with RNA vaccines. These vaccines carry genetic code into the cells, which triggers the production …
Small molecule drug can weaken the triggers of neuroinflammation, preclinical review shows Kumar Jeetendra | September 24, 2021 Neuroinflammation may cause worse outcomes in cases of stroke, injuries to the brain or injury, and can increase the severity of neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS, Parkinson’s, or Alzheimer’s. This suggests that reducing neuroinflammation might be an exciting new method to treat neurological disorders and neuropathic pain caused by neuroinflammation. In a preclinical study , …
