Lunaphore today announced new research from collaborators at the University of Birmingham.

From Lunaphore 7 Dec 2021

Lunaphore to host inaugural Spatial Biology Week™ virtual meeting

Lunaphore today announced the events and activities planned around the inaugural Lunaphore Spatial Biology Week™, taking place virtually December 6-10, 2021.

From Lunaphore 7 Dec 2021

Combination of prior infection and vaccination produces a more potent defense against SARS-CoV-2

Antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein produced by the immune system can help identify and fend off future infections, but not all antibodies are the same.

Multiplex proteomic panel assay for assessment of disease severity and outcome prediction in COVID-19

According to the authors of a new study, multiplex protein panel assay could support clinical decision-making, guide the development of novel treatments, and expand the risk assessment procedures for COVID-19.

Study shows the existence of efficient coding processes for visual stimuli in rodents

A collaboration between SISSA and the University of Pennsylvania indicates the existence of an efficient process of sensory coding in rats, suggesting a general principle for optimal use of computational resources.

7 Dec 2021

An analysis of risk factors and symptom presentation among groups at risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection

The study, published on the pre-print server medRxiv*, analyzed the specific linkages between the COVID-19 patients belonging to the three risk groups with the overall COVID-19 patients and compared symptoms between and within the risk groups.

Simple quantitative framework to understand the pathogenesis of severe COVID-19

Researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory in the United States developed a model to explain why severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections induce high inflammatory levels.

Scientists find infection of sustentacular cells in the olfactory epithelium of COVID-19 patients

It is now widely known that COVID-19 is associated with the transient or long-term loss of olfaction (the sense of smell) but the mechanisms remain obscure.

Novel monoclonal antibody could help revolutionize treatment of children with high-risk neuroblastoma

Survival rates increased about 20% for children with high-risk neuroblastoma enrolled in a St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital clinical trial that included a novel monoclonal antibody produced onsite. The findings appeared today in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

6 Dec 2021

New marker could lead to better diagnoses of Covid-19

Biomedical scientists at LMU have found a new marker in the blood of Covid-19 patients. It furnishes insights into the course and development of the disease and could lead to better diagnoses.

6 Dec 2021

Using soft X-ray tomography for 3D imaging of cell structures in few minutes

Viral pathogens like the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus change the interior structure of the cells they infect. These changes occur at the level of individual cell components – the organelles – and can provide information on how viral diseases develop.

Researchers use gene-editing to create single sex mice litters

Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute, in collaboration with University of Kent, have used gene editing technology to create female-only and male-only mice litters with 100% efficiency.

X-ray laser offers new insights into how radiation damage occurs in biological tissue

An international research team has used the X-ray laser European XFEL to gain new insights into how radiation damage occurs in biological tissue.

New protein variant underlies the ability of gastric cancers to resist chemotherapy

A new protein variant underlies the ability of gastric cancers to resist an otherwise effective family of chemotherapy drugs, according to a study by a multidisciplinary team at Weill Cornell Medicine. The results suggest a treatment strategy that could improve the prognoses of many patients with cancer.

Daytime meals can help regulate bloodstream glucose levels in night shift workers

What are the effects of eating during the nighttime instead of the daytime? New research, focused on a simulation of night shift work, may hold implications for people eating at atypical times -; like those experiencing jet lag, circadian rhythm sleep disorders, or who tend to sleep late during the weekends.

Probiotics significantly improve the symptoms of pregnancy-related problems

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers at the UC Davis School of Medicine found that probiotics significantly improve the symptoms of pregnancy-related nausea, vomiting and constipation. The findings were published in the journal Nutrients.

6 Dec 2021

COVID-19 vaccines shown to reduce SARS-CoV-2 infection rate in cancer patients

A study recently published in the journal JAMA Oncology has stated that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines are more than 55% effective in reducing the risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in cancer patients.

Equipment-free handheld microfluidic injection provides visible readout of SARS-CoV-2 detection

In this paper, a group of researchers from Harvard Medical School, McGill University, and Tianjin University describes an on-chip diagnostic technology for the direct detection of SARS-CoV-2 N protein in nasal samples that combines the advantages of hydrodynamic microfluidic filtration and sandwich immunoassay.

5 Dec 2021

Daytime meals may reduce adverse metabolic effects associated with night shift work

A small clinical trial supported by the National Institutes of Health has found that eating during the nighttime—like many shift workers do—can increase glucose levels, while eating only during the daytime might prevent the higher glucose levels now linked with a nocturnal work life.
