Multiple nanobodies effectively block infection with different SARS-CoV-2 variants

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a novel strategy for identifying potent miniature antibodies, so-called nanobodies, against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Scientists create powerful new method for generating protein drugs

A team of scientists has created a powerful new method for generating protein drugs. Using computers, they designed molecules that can target important proteins in the body, such as the insulin receptor, as well as vulnerable proteins on the surface of viruses.

Hybrid immunity generates improved cell response to fight SARS-CoV-2 infections

People who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 before being vaccinated generate an immune response more specific to fighting viral infections, and produce a broader antibody response, than do people whose only protection is the vaccine, according to researchers at the University of Washington School of Medicine.

Researchers analyze a powerful tool to enhance drug discovery

Hormones or chemical messengers link to cell membrane receptors to tweak how the cell responds, creating a metaphorical interaction and traffic network on the surface of cell membranes inside human body.

Scientists use mRNA delivery to enhance muscle power

Mutations that cause muscle atrophy can be corrected using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool.

16 Mar 2022

Scientists discover new details on vital enzyme that allows for DNA sequencing

Researchers released a study in Sciences Advances that disclosed new facts about a critical enzyme that allows DNA sequencing.

16 Mar 2022

Immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus likely to protect against omicron

People who developed immunity to SARS-CoV-2, either by vaccination or contact, are expected to get some protection against the pathogen’s omicron version.

Macrophages show altered inflammatory, metabolic expression months after mild COVID-19

There is a lack of understanding as to why some people suffer from long-lasting symptoms after COVID-19 infection.

15 Mar 2022

Study provides insights into the biological mechanisms behind the severe form of COVID-19

A total of 16 novel genetic variations linked to severe Covid-19 have been discovered, including ones that affect blood coagulation, immunological response, and inflammation severity.

8 Mar 2022

Researchers use specific enzymes to tear down viral RNA

The genetic information of SARS-CoV-2 has been successfully destroyed by a research team led by the Technical University of Munich.

4 Mar 2022

Several variants of COVID-19 may hide away from body’s immune system, new study reveals

A recent study published in Nature Communications by an international research group suggests that people infected with COVID-19 may have several distinct SARS-CoV-2 variants stashed away from the immune system in various parts of the body.

3 Mar 2022

Researchers find why SARS-CoV-2 does not spread easily from surfaces

Early in the pandemic, many people fastidiously disinfected surfaces because laboratory studies predicted that SARS-CoV-2 could be easily transmitted in this way.

3 Mar 2022

SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can specifically recognize the terminal sialic acid on sugars

The virus causing the current COVID-19 pandemic is the SARS-CoV-2. Soon after the pandemic outbreak in 2019, the ACE-2 protein, which is present on some of our cells´ surface, was identified as the receptor facilitating host cell viral entry.

3 Mar 2022

Researchers describe the structural basis of how antibodies may neutralize SARS-CoV-2 variants

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is continuously evolving and structural changes to the virus may impact the efficacy of antibody therapies and vaccines.

2 Mar 2022

Protein appears key to the function and survival of brain cells most impacted by glaucoma

A ubiquitous protein called sigma 1 receptor, which is known to protect cells from stress, appears key to the function and survival of the neurons most impacted by glaucoma, scientists report.

2 Mar 2022

Men and women do have immune cell differences, study says

Researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology have uncovered novel genes associated with the risk of autoimmune disorders in the CD4+ “helper” T cell subset.
