Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a naturally occurring mutation in nonhuman primates that closely resembles a rare neurodegenerative disease in people. Portland, August 06, 2021.- The discovery could lead to the development of new therapies to treat Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease and is the latest in a troveContinuar Leyendo
Fewer than one in 20 children with symptomatic COVID-19 experienced symptoms lasting longer than 4 weeks, and almost all children have fully recovered by 8 weeks, a new study has found. London, August 05, 2021.- In a study published today in Lancet Child and Adolescent Health, researchers at King’s CollegeContinuar Leyendo
The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 has demonstrated a stubborn ability to resist most nucleoside antiviral treatments, but a new study led by an Iowa State University scientist could help to overcome the virus’s defenses. Ames, Iowa, August 04, 2021.- The study, published recently in the peer-reviewed journal Science, details theContinuar Leyendo
Winston-Salem, NC, August 02, 2021.-Researchers at Wake Forest School of Medicine have shown that a targeted therapy using non-thermal radio waves is safe to use in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of liver cancer. The therapy also showed a benefit in overall survival. The studyContinuar Leyendo
Scientists from the USC Stem Cell laboratory of Neil Segil have identified a natural barrier to the regeneration of the inner ear’s sensory cells, which are lost in hearing and balance disorders. Overcoming this barrier may be a first step in returning inner ear cells to a newborn-like state that’sContinuar Leyendo
Symptoms for early COVID-19 infection differ among age groups and between men and women, new research has found. These differences are most notable between younger age groups (16 to 59 years) compared to older age groups (60 to 80 years and over), and men have different symptoms compared to womenContinuar Leyendo
Relaxing Covid-19 restrictions could pave the way for new vaccine-resistant virus mutations, according to researchers at the University of East Anglia and the Earlham Institute. Norlfok, July 28, 2021.- A new article published today warns against relaxing Covid-19 restrictions prematurely. It describes how we are in an ‘arms race’ withContinuar Leyendo
A new MIT study of how a mammalian brain remembers what it sees shows that while individual images are stored in the visual cortex, the ability to recognize a sequence of sights critically depends on guidance from the hippocampus, a deeper structure strongly associated with memory but shrouded in mysteryContinuar Leyendo
The rapid spread of the Alpha variant of COVID-19 resulted from biological changes in the virus and was enhanced by large numbers of infected people ‘exporting’ the variant to multiple parts of the UK, in what the researchers call a ‘super-seeding’ event. Oxford, UK, July 26, 2021.- Results of theContinuar Leyendo
There are many reasons that an intranasal vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus would be helpful in the fight against COVID-19 infections, University of Alabama at Birmingham immunologists Fran Lund, Ph.D., and Troy Randall, Ph.D., write in a viewpoint article in the journal Science. Birmingham, July 24, 2021.- That route ofContinuar Leyendo
