Scientists find how Rift Valley fever virus enters cells Kumar Jeetendra | September 24, 2021 Rift Valley fever virus causes economically tragic hemorrhagic outbreaks in livestock, including cattle, goats, and sheep. The mosquito-borne infections can lead to the spread of infection to people who work with animals that are dying or dead often causing many human infections as well as many deaths. Rift Valley fever, for which there isn’t a …
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 , …
Study recognizes master regulator behind the improvement of antibody delivering cells Kumar Jeetendra | September 24, 2021 The main regulator that controls the production of antibody-producing cells was identified in a research conducted by scientists from Weill Cornell Medicine. These findings offer new insights into the functioning in the immunity system. It also can help to understand how tissues form and how cancers are triggered. The study, which was published on September. …
Industrial chemical perfluorobutanoic acid less inclined to aggregate in human lungs and kidneys Kumar Jeetendra | September 25, 2021 A 2013 study by Perez et al. discovered a significant accumulation of the chemical used in industrial production, perfluorobutanoic Acid (PFBA) in the human kidneys and lungs. Researchers from the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) examined the results with an even more precise method for quantification. The resultwas that only one sample had …
Novel antibody candidate shows powerful binding to different SARS-CoV-2 variant mutations Kumar Jeetendra | September 25, 2021 Twist Bioscience Corporation today reported that its internally-discovered antibody candidate TB202-3 (CoVIC-094), demonstrated potent binding to diverse SARS-CoV-2 variant mutations, including strains with the E484K, N501Y, D614G, Y453F and K417N mutations in pseudovirus assays, indicating this therapeutic antibody may be effective in treating many strains of COVID-19. The Coronavirus Immunotherapy Consortium (CoVIC) is an academic-industry-non-profit …
Nano-bubbles containing ACE2 protein can hinder contamination from wide strains of SARS-CoV-2 Kumar Jeetendra | January 21, 2022 Northwestern Medicine and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered that natural nano-bubbles containing ACE2 protein (evACE2) were found in the blood of COVID-19 victims. They also discovered that these particles could block infection by broad strains of SARS/CoV-2 virus. Scientists said that the evACE2 acts in the body as a decoy and …
Dietary components hold guarantee for working on the health and wellbeing of grown-ups Kumar Jeetendra | January 26, 2022 Research suggests that nutritional supplements that target specific mechanisms that are associated with age-associated cellular decay (AACD), have the potential to improve health and well-being for adults. “Cellular Nutrition and Its Influence on Age-Associated Cellular Decline,” the latest issue of The Gerontological Society of America’s What’s Hot newsletter with accompanying infographic, provides an overview of …
New framework empowers programmed examination of biomedical recordings caught by microscopy Kumar Jeetendra | February 14, 2022 Researchers at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed a system based on computer vision techniques that allows automatic analysis of biomedical videos captured by microscopy in order to characterize and describe the behavior of the cells that appear in the images. These new techniques developed by the UC3M engineering team have been …
Scientists create stable cell lines equipped for delivering different hepatitis B virus genotypes Kumar Jeetendra | February 15, 2022 A new study has created cells that can be stable and capable to produce different strains of the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) which is helping to improve understanding of the distinctive virological characteristics treatments, virological features, and infectivity, which could lead to the development of new treatments against the virus that infects humans as long …
