Breaking Down the Unusual Biology of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta Variant

A capability to construct a greater concentration of viral particulates in the airways of people and also abnormalities that would improve their ability to potentially infect human blood cells could be just what provides the Delta version with its transformational upside.Although SARS-CoV-2 is more capable than it has been before. Its newest expression, the...

Researcher Finds ‘Head-to-Tail’ Axis Development Trigger in Human Embryo

A human embryo in the lab at 9 days after fertilisation. The hypoblast (a group of cells outside the main embryo) sends a message to the embryo that initiates the development of the head-to-tail body axis. Using immunofluorescence analysis, the hypoblast is shown in green – these cells are asymmetrically distributed. A cavity is...

Climate Disasters ‘Block Access to Women’s Healthcare’

In accordance to a survey, disasters brought on by climate change increase the vulnerability of women and girls since crucial health services, like family planning, are neglected during such times.According to a report by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), situations like violent storms prevent access to sexual and reproductive health care. In turn,...

Exercise During Pregnancy Improves Children’s Lung Function

Scientists have discovered more proof that exercising while pregnant benefits both the mother and the unborn child.According to a study presented today (Sunday) at the "virtual" European Respiratory Society International Congress, Dr. Hrefna Katrin Gudmundsdottir asserted that a study of 814 infants had for the first time established a link between infants born to...

Breastmilk Produces COVID-Fighting Antibodies Instead of Spreading It

Recent research reveals evidence that nursing mothers do not transmit COVID through breastmilk.A research study conducted by scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC)– in partnership with numerous other universities– implies that nursing females with COVID-19 do not transfer the SARS-CoV-2 virus with their milk. However, they do give milk-borne antibodies that...
