Highly effective measles virus-based Th1-biased coronavirus vaccine

A COVID-19 diagnosis is no longer as frightening as it used to be, thanks to developments in treatment choices. However, a new study reveals that leukocyte (white blood cell) count may now be used to identify who is more likely to develop more significant disease symptoms.

Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, has long been considered a predictable structural component of tissues.

Protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells--found in plants, animals, and fungi--involves more than just the straightforward ribosome assembly of amino acids.

Columbia researchers developed probiotic bacteria that train the immune system to eliminate cancer cells, paving the way for a new class of cancer vaccinations that take advantage of bacteria's innate tumour-targeting abilities. These microbial cancer vaccines can be tailored to each person's specific original tumour and metastases, perhaps preventing future recurrences.

Pancreatic cells, like human cells, have a limit to how much stress they can handle before they start to break down. Through overstimulation of these cells, certain stresses like inflammation and hyperglycemia lead to the onset of type 2 diabetes.

A pioneering study undertaken by a Kumamoto University research team shed light on the crucial role of TRMT10A, a tRNA methylation enzyme, in sustaining brain function. The findings show how TRMT10A deficiency reduces specific transfer RNA (tRNA) levels in the brain, altering protein synthesis and affecting synapse structure and function.

The Medical University of Vienna's research has significantly advanced our knowledge of how humans perceive heat. A group of scientists has discovered a particular type of cell structure involved in heat recognition.

Researchers found a mechanism by which immune cells impede the regeneration of the lungs' defensive barrier following viral infections such as COVID-19.

According to a study published, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors used to treat type 2 diabetes may prevent dementia, with higher advantages with prolonged treatment.

Most rare diseases are caused by genetics. A molecular genetic diagnosis can be made more quickly and readily by identifying the underlying genetic change, for instance by exome sequencing (ES). The analysis of every region of our DNA that codes for a protein is known as ES.
