First-of-its-kind gene therapy technique reverses severe hearing loss in mice

Hearing loss has been linked to mutations in at least 100 different genes, but up to 16 percent of genetic hearing loss can be traced to just one gene, STRC, the second most common genetic cause.

Postmenopausal women more likely to have overactive bladder syndrome, study says

If you're feeling more sudden urges to run to the bathroom as you age, you're not alone. A new study suggests postmenopausal women aged 45 to 54 years are more likely to have overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome.

Factors associated with having data on SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 severity

Researchers utilized pre-pandemic information from two UK-based observational population studies to investigate predictors of selection into analytic subsamples in observational studies on SARS-CoV-2 infection and on COVID-19 severity.

15 Dec 2021

T-cell immune response in previously infected and vaccinated individuals effective against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

New findings illustrate that despite the continuous pattern of the ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2, it has not resulted in any significant accumulation of CD8+ T-cell escape mutations.

Exploring the possibility of developing a plant-based oral vaccine against COVID-19

New research optimizes methods for the in-planta expression of the recombinant protein corresponding to the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) subunit of the surface-exposed Spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2.

15 Dec 2021

Receptor binding of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant compared to other variants

Researchers compared the binding of the new SARS-CoV-2 VOC Omicron’s RBD and ACE2 receptor with the original Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 strain and other VOCs such as Beta and Delta.

Impact of exogenous antibody therapy by convalescent plasma against SARS-CoV-2

Researches have been investigating the possibility of using convalescent plasma to help patients recover from COVID-19.

15 Dec 2021

Cell surface expression of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein and its role in immunity

Researchers demonstrated the unexpected roles of nucleocapsid protein in innate and adaptive immunity to SARS-CoV-2.

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment quickly resolves severe breathing difficulties in COVID-19 patients

High pressure (hyperbaric) oxygen resolves severe breathing difficulties in COVID-19 patients much more quickly than standard therapy, taking an average of 3 rather than 9 days, reveal the results of a small comparative clinical trial published online in Emergency Medicine Journal.

15 Dec 2021

Monoclonal antibody activity against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

Scientists from Germany have recently pointed out that the third booster dose of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine is highly effective in neutralizing the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2.

Containing a Nipah virus outbreak amidst the COVID-19 pandemic

A new study deals with a single case of Nipah virus that occurred in 2021, with no discoverable chain of transmission, apparently ending with the death of the index patient in Kerala.
