By analyzing your DNA and RNA with a computational pipeline and a curated database of pathogens, the mNGS system leads to far quicker diagnoses of rare diseasesGrumpyBeere / Pixabay (AI generated)Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have developed an innovative genomic test capable of rapidly detecting nearly any pathogen in a...
A UK-based study involved volunteers allowing scientists to deliberately infect them with SARS-CoV-2, aiming to understand why some individuals naturally avoid contracting COVID-19. This pioneering research could lead to improved vaccines and treatments.Previous studies have examined COVID-19's effects on patients, but none have tracked the disease from the initial entry of the virus to...
Zinc can restore immune function and reduce lung infections in people with cystic fibrosisAI-generated by DALL-EResearchers have identified zinc as crucial for combating lung infections in individuals with cystic fibrosis, as the genetic mutation responsible for the disease diminishes the natural ability of their immune cells to fight bacteria. This discovery may lead to...
