Researchers distinguish aggravates that square replication of COVID-19 infection Kumar Jeetendra | July 12, 2020 Whilst the death toll from the COVID-19 pandemic mounts, the boffins worldwide carry on their push to create effective treatments and a vaccine to its highly infectious respiratory tract. The inhibitors demonstrate potent structural and chemical connections with an viral critical to this herpes virus’s capacity to proliferate. The very promising drug candidates – like …
Study shows how mast cells manage calcium levels to control the invulnerable reaction Kumar Jeetendra | July 23, 2020 Instead of protecting us, the immune system can sometimes go awry, as in the case of autoimmune disorders and allergies. An Ludwig-Maximilian-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich group has dissected how mast cells modulate their calcium levels to maintain the immune response under control. The immune system defends us against attack by germs and viruses and also …
BAT study dissects the toxicological effect of nicotine pocket items Kumar Jeetendra | September 28, 2020 New research by BAT suggests that contemporary oral goods (MOPs) revealed lower toxicity reactions in certain assays than traditional cigarettes. Scientists analyzed the toxicological impact of one of BAT’s nicotine pouch products, previously called Lyft and now called Velo, in an in vitro laboratory-based test. Velo was found to be less biologically active than cigarette …
Researchers grow new serological assay for discovery of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies Kumar Jeetendra | December 13, 2020 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 …
CN Bio presents the PhysioMimix™ OOC Multi-Organ Microphysiological System Kumar Jeetendra | March 17, 2021 CN Bio, a leading developer of single and multi-organ microphysiological systems (MPS), otherwise known as organ-on-a-chip (OOC), today announced the commercial launch of its new PhysioMimix™ OOC Multi-Organ MPS. The next-generation system unites CN Bio’s in vitro 3D liver model, whose phenotype and functions mimic that in vivo, with a range of other organs to …
Intense openness of lung tissue to vape airborne lesserly affects gene expressionthan cigarette smoke Kumar Jeetendra | March 21, 2021 A new peer-reviewed study published in the journal Toxicological Research & Application reveals acute exposure of a 3D human bronchial tissue model to e-cigarette aerosol has minimal impact on gene expression in contrast to smoke from combustible cigarettes. The study included sub-cytotoxic vulnerability to cells in a 3D human bronchial model (MucilAirTM) to nicotine-containing vape …
