Substances in tick spit actuate insusceptible reaction smothering proteins in cattles Kumar Jeetendra | January 28, 2021 Scientists from Hokkaido University, Japan and Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul and Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, have revealed that substances in tick saliva trigger immune response-suppressing proteins in cows that facilitates the transmission of tick-borne diseases. The finding was published in the journal Scientific Reports and could assist in the …
Protein alteration adds to degeneration of neuronal populaces in Huntington’s infection Kumar Jeetendra | February 1, 2021 A study in which UB scientists have taken part states that alterations in the levels of one of those proteins, lamin B1, add to the degeneration of distinct brain neuronal populations in Huntington’s disease. Caused by a mutation in the huntingtin gene, this pathology features involuntary movements, cognitive deficit, and psychiatric disorders, and has no …
Novel hydrogel gradually delivers RNA nanovaccines to shrivel tumors Kumar Jeetendra | February 18, 2021 Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to stop COVID-19 have made headlines around the world recently, but scientists also have been working on mRNA vaccines to treat or prevent other diseases, including some forms of cancer. Cancer immunotherapy vaccines operate similarly to mRNA vaccines for COVID-19, except they trigger the immune system to attack tumors rather than …
Diphtheria is developing to get antibiotic-resistant safe and could prompt vaccine escape Kumar Jeetendra | March 8, 2021 Diphtheria – a comparatively easily-preventable infection – is evolving to become immune to a range of types of antibiotics and in the future could lead to vaccine escape, warn an international group of researchers in the UK and India. The researchers, led by scientists at the University of Cambridge, say that the impact of COVID-19 …
First smart speaker for contactless observing of both reguilar and unpredictable heartbeats Kumar Jeetendra | March 9, 2021 Wise speakers, such as Amazon Echo and Google Home, have proven adept at monitoring certain health care issues at home. By way of instance, researchers at the University of Washington have shown that these devices can detect cardiac arrests or track babies breathing. But what about monitoring something even smaller: the moment motion of individual …
UMass Amherst scientist focuses around understanding essential parts of the hand’s microbiome Kumar Jeetendra | March 14, 2021 Skin Care microbiome researcher Dr. Kelly Haas, of the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s Biology Department, recently started a research partnership with Akron, Ohio-based GOJO Industries to study the structure, stability, and endurance of their hand microbiome. The collaboration focuses on understanding fundamental aspects of the hand’s microbiome: what microbes should be growing on a hand …
Researchers examine how oxygen radicals secure against cancer Kumar Jeetendra | April 26, 2021 Initially, oxygen radicals – reactive oxygen species, or ROS for short – were thought of as exclusively harmful in the body. They’re produced, by way of example, by smoking or UV radiation. Because of their high reactivity, they could damage many important molecules in cells, including the hereditary molecule DNA. As a result, there’s a …
Unevenness in gut microbiota could assume a vital part in movement of inflammatory skin disorder Kumar Jeetendra | May 7, 2021 Findings presented at the EADV 2021 Spring Symposium imply that an imbalance in gut microbiota (dysbiosis), could play a substantial role in the progression of inflammatory skin disease, Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). HS is a painful, long-term skin condition, with a chronic and relapsing nature that significantly impacts patients’ quality of life. Researchers at Hacettepe University …
Specific enzymes shield the human skin and body from microorganisms, viruses Kumar Jeetendra | May 22, 2021 The human body is constantly exposed to various environmental celebrities, from viruses to bacteria to fungi, but the majority of these parasitic organisms provoke little if any response from our skin, which is charged with monitoring and shielding from external dangers. Until now, researchers weren’t quite sure how that happened — and why our skin …
Immunotherapy treatments for nephrological autoimmune illnesses may help treat serious Coronavirus Kumar Jeetendra | June 8, 2021 Various viruses and bacteria have been known to cause autoimmune diseases where there’s such a predisposition. This phenomenon also seems to play a major part SARS-CoV-2, especially in severe courses. The body’s own immune cells are activated, with the formation of autoantibodies that attack the body’s own healthy cell structures (proteins, autoantigens); deposits of immune …
Castration of male sheep eases back DNA maturing Kumar Jeetendra | July 6, 2021 We all know that women live longer lives than men. If we told you that there were one way to prolong your life, would you listen? Researchers from University of Otago and collaborators from the United States published a study in ELife today. It showed that castration of male sheep slows down DNA’s aging and …
Antibiotic resistance found in the gut microbiome of lemurs living near humans Kumar Jeetendra | August 10, 2021 The CDC describes antibiotic resistance as one of the most pressing public health crises in the world. It is currently being discovered in the stomachs of lemurs (our distant primate cousins). Researchers at Duke have discovered evidence of antibiotic resistance in the microbiome from lemurs that live close to humans, according to a new study …
