TANGO2 plays a role in heme homeostasis, research reveals

Heme, the iron-holding molecule that gives blood its red color, is essential for life. Yet, ironically, it can be quite toxic if not properly handled. In fact, numerous diseases – from various cancers to cardiovascular diseases – are associated with defects in heme homeostasis.

Anthelmintic inhibits exacerbated inflammatory response related to COVID-19 in preclinical research

Experiments involving animals and human cells conducted at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil suggest that niclosamide, an anthelmintic widely used against tapeworms, effectively inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication as well as the exacerbated inflammatory response that leads to death in many patients with severe COVID-19.

Scientists receive $8.297 NIH grant to continue funding a Center for Lupus Research

A multi-institutional team of scientists, led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine's Gale and Ira Drukier Institute for Children's Health, have received a five-year $8.297 grant to continue funding a Center for Lupus Research.

Breakthrough discovery is a 'major step forward' in understanding cervical cancer

Scientists have discovered that cervical cancer can be divided into two distinct molecular subgroups – one far more aggressive than the other – as part of the largest 'omics' study of its kind, led by researchers at UCL and the University of Southampton.

Modeling study suggests the possibility of Japanese encephalitis virus outbreak in Australia

A paper from a research team, which included mathematical modeling expertise from LSHTM and was led by the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Brisbane, has suggested that up to 750,000 people across Australia could be at risk of exposure to Japanese encephalitis (JEV).

Parental exercise improves whole-body glucose metabolism in offspring, study finds

A mouse study by Kristin Stanford, a physiology and cell biology researcher with The Ohio State University College of Medicine at the Wexner Medical Center, provides new ways to determine how maternal and paternal exercise improve metabolic health of offspring.

Multiomics analysis identifies immunobiomarkers for COVID-19 severity in outpatients

In a recent study published in the journal eLife, researchers showed the utility of machine-learning models in identifying early immune signatures, which could reliably predict clinical and immunological outcomes in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected outpatients.

Study uses pluripotent stem cell models to investigate stress response in PTSD patients

Stem cell-derived neurons from combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) react differently to a stress hormone than those from veterans without PTSD, a finding that could provide insights into how genetics can make someone more susceptible to developing PTSD following trauma exposure.

Scientists map structure of the hepatitis C virus E1E2 glycoprotein complex

A team led by scientists at Scripps Research and the University of Amsterdam has achieved an important goal in virology: mapping, at high resolution, critical proteins that stud the surface of the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and enable it to enter host cells.
