Researchers have discovered that the transporter protein Mfsd2a is critical for regulating brain cells that maintain myelin sheaths, which protect nerves. This discovery could help…
While both protect from severe disease, inactivated SARS-CoV-2 and spike mRNA COVID-19 vaccines trigger different T-cell responses. Although the total magnitude of the T-cell responses…
Numerous short RNA sequences that code for microproteins and peptides have been identified, providing new opportunities for the study of diseases and the development of…
Singapore scientists find hyperhomocysteinemia strongly correlates with the severity of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore, have discovered that elevated blood levels of…
COVID-19 has led to psychological distress among one in three adults, large-scale meta-analysis reveals. One in three adults, particularly women, younger adults, and those of…
Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common form of dementia and is characterized by the build-up of amyloid plaques in the brain. Microglia, the immune sentinels…
First and only study to give molecular and serological evidence that SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses circulate in bats and pangolins in Southeast Asia High diversity of SARS-CoV-2-related…
International taskforce announced to look into the origins of SARS-CoV-2, which sparked COVID-19 pandemic nearly one year ago. Named to taskforce is the scientific director…
Study confirms bats adopt multiple strategies to reduce pro-inflammatory responses, thus mitigating potential immune-mediated tissue damage and disease. Findings provide important insights for medical research…
Singapore scientists uncover SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell immunity in recovered COVID-19 and SARS patients, and in uninfected individuals. Singapore study shows that SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells are…
Infectious diseases spilling over from wildlife are not new — as of 2008, approximately 70 percent of all known emerging diseases are thought to have…
