Russian Scientists Investigate the Immune Response to COVID Variations (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Trace, Kappa and Lambda)

The continuing development of new SARS-CoV-2 mutations allows the virus to spread more effectively and also avert antibodies. However, it is unclear whether brand-new strains can escape T-cell immunity - one of the body's main lines of protection against COVID-19. The development of a T-cell immune reaction is significantly governed by genetic factors, consisting of...

Scientists Identify Antibodies that Might Safeguard Against Alphaviruses

Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have determined two antibodies that protect animals from disease brought on by alphaviruses. The antibodies were effective for every alphavirus checked, suggesting they possibly can create the basis of treatments or serve as a guide for a universal vaccine. In the US, the alphavirus we...

New DNA Modern Technology Based on CRISPR Can Reinvent Medical Diagnostics

Credit: Karl Barber, Schmidt Science Fellows Researchers have repurposed the genetic modification innovation CRISPR to identify antibodies in a patient's blood samplings. This can influence a new class of medical diagnostics along with a host of various other applications. This technology entails customizable collections of proteins affixed to...

Protein “Big Bang” Reveals Molecular Makeup for Medicine as well as Bioengineering Applications

Research by Gustavo Caetano-Anollés and Fayez Aziz, University of Illinois, reveals a “big bang” during evolution of protein subunits known as domains. The team looked for protein relationships and domain recruitment into proteins over 3.8 billion years across all taxonomic units. Their results could have implications for vaccine development and disease management. Credit: Fred...

Neuromorphic Chip: Artificial Neurons Identify Biosignals in Real Time

The neuromorphic chip reliably and precisely detects high-frequency oscillations in previously recorded intracranial EEG. Credit: UZH, ETHZ, USZ Scientists from Zurich have created a portable, energy-efficient gadget made from synthetic neurons that can decode brainwaves. The chip uses information recorded from the brainwaves of epilepsy patients to determine which regions of the brain cause epileptic...

The 2000 Year Old Greek Astronomical Calculator: Experts Recreate a Mechanical Cosmos for the Globe’s First Computer

Targeting Piezo1 Protein May be a Brand New and Ideal Approach to Cure Multiple Sclerosis

In a new College of California, Irvine-led research study, researchers discovered that a specific healthy protein prevented governing T cells (Tregs) from successfully doing their work in controlling the damaging results of inflammation in a version of multiple sclerosis (MS), a terrible autoimmune disease of the nervous system. Published in July 2021, in Scientific research...

Brain Memory Signals Connected to Blood Glucose Levels in New Research

A set of brain signals known to assist memories form may additionally influence blood glucose levels, finds brand-new research in rats. Researchers at NYU Grossman College of Medicine discovered that a strange signaling pattern in the brain area called the hippocampus, connected by previous studies to memory development, likewise affects the metabolic process, the procedure...

Advanced Cryo-EM Exposes Viral RNA Duplication Complex Structure in “Game-Changing” Detail

Cryo-EM imaging reveals high-resolution side and top views of the viral RNA replication “crown” complex structure. Credit: Paul Ahlquist, Morgridge Institute for Research For the very first time, researchers at the Morgridge Institute for Research have created near-atomic resolution images of a significant viral protein complicated responsible for replicating the RNA genome of a member...

“Inescapable” COVID-19 Antibody Discovery – Neutralizes All Known SARS-CoV-2 Strains
