What is the role of adenoviruses in human health?

With advances in molecular biology informing recent developments in vaccinology, gene therapy, and other fields of medicine, human adenoviruses (HAdVs) have been of primary importance in medical research. A recent review looks at the promises of HAdVs, their potential dangers, and future challenges.

Researchers use lasso-grafting for designing receptor agonists with enhanced pharmacokinetics

Cell growth and repair are stimulated by biomolecules known as cytokines and growth factors. Unfortunately, delivering adequate concentrations of these molecules to the brain for treating neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease is challenging as they are either cleared out of the blood very quickly or do not penetrate neural tissue effectively.

Does vitamin D reduce COVID-19 severity?

A new study examined published studies for a consistent association between vitamin D levels and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity.

Fermented dairy products can improve gut mucosal immunity

In a recent study published in the journal Immunology Letters, researchers assessed the role of fermented dairy products and dairy starters in modulating gut mucosal immunity.

Inflammation increases the expression of risk gene in first-episode schizophrenia patients

Schizophrenia patients have fewer connections between nerve cells. This is believed to be caused by genetic risk variants leading to an excessive elimination of nerve cell connections by the immune cells of the brain.

What is the role of cyclophilin-A in alleviating SARS-CoV-2 infections?

A new study aimed to analyze the molecular interactions between the hCypA protein and the SARS-CoV-2 variants to determine the impact of variants on the blocking and binding potential of the hCypA–S protein complex with the ACE2 receptor.

Cleveland Clinic awarded $12 million NIH grant to define how cytokines regulate inflammation

Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute was awarded a five-year $12 million grant by the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, to define how cytokines - proteins produced during immune response - regulate inflammation and interact with cells and molecules surrounding tumors.

Researchers identify specific T cell required to bolster vaccine immunity against fungal pneumonia

Researchers at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine have demonstrated in a mouse model that a specific type of T cell, one of the body's potent immune defenses, produces cytokines that are necessary for the body to acquire immunity against fungal pathogens.

Study reveals how SARS-CoV-2 infection of macrophages promotes inflammatory responses

Dysregulation of macrophages during SARS-CoV-2 infection and the over-exuberant production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by these macrophages has been hypothesized to contribute to severity of COVID-19 disease.
