The Lundquist Institute’s investigators have developed a novel mouse model that displays the most comprehensive set of A-T symptoms which provides for the very first time a resource to not only clarify the mechanisms of this neurological dysfunction but also gives researchers a critically needed in vivo model to test future A-T therapeutics. The investigators […]
Scientists are developing plants that can deliver same vaccine technology used by Pfizer and Moderna Covid shots by being EATEN Researchers at UC Riverside are investigating ways to insert mRNA vaccine technology used for the Pfizer and Moderna Covid shots into edible plants The chloroplasts of the plant will be used to carry the mRNA, […]
In a time of COVID-19 restrictions and minimal travel, many people are turning to virtual doctor appointments and consultations as a safer alternative to in-person doctor visits. Researchers at Missouri S&T are working to make this new wave of telemedicine more successful by creating an oxygen-sensing patch printed on a flexible, disposable bandage that can […]
Researchers at the Cyber-Physical Systems Group at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, in conjunction with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, have developed a new model of how information deep in the brain could flow from one network to another and how these neuronal network clusters self-optimize over time. Their work, chronicled in the […]
TUESDAY, Sept. 22, 2020 — Folks shrugging off the risk of COVID-19 because they don’t think the virus will do them much harm might want to think again. As many as four out of five people infected with the new coronavirus likely will suffer some symptoms of COVID-19, a new analysis shows. Only about 20% […]
What causes some people to develop chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, cancer and metabolic syndrome while others stay healthy? A major clue could be found in their gut microbiome—the trillions of microbes living inside the digestive system that regulate various bodily functions. To utilize the huge population of tiny organisms as a proxy for […]
A new low-cost diagnostic test for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) quickly delivers accurate results without the need for sophisticated equipment, according to a study published August 27 2020 in the open-access journal PLOS Pathogens by Teng Xu of the Vision Medicals Center for Infectious Diseases, Tieying Hou of the Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences, Bing […]
Researchers at São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Araçatuba, Brazil, have developed a computational tool that acts like a “COVID-19 accelerometer,” plotting in real time the rate at which growth is accelerating or decelerating in more than 200 countries and territories. Available free of charge online, the application automatically loads the most recent notified case […]
Chinese study finds up to 30% of coronavirus patients hardly develop ANY antibodies against the infection – raising concerns many who recover from COVID-19 are not immune Fudan University researchers tested 175 recovered coronavirus patients for antibodies against the virus Antibodies are generated after someone has contracted a virus and generally help them fight off […]
Stress is part of life for everyone, but how we respond to it seems to vary from person to person. For some, the effects of a stressful situation can be long-lasting and lead to anxiety, depression, and other health problems; others are more resilient to stressful life events. In a new study in mice, Rockefeller […]
