Nucleoside modifications suppress the potential of RNA to activate dendritic cells

A new paper shows that human TLR3, TLR7, and TLR8 receptors are activated with naturally occurring RNA, but this is eliminated once modified nucleosides such as m5C, m6A, m5U s2U, or pseudouridine are incorporated.

The neurological effects of COVID-19

What is the relationship between COVID-19 and the brain? A new review published in Tropical Biomedicine summarizes the key findings on how severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes severe COVID-19 infection, disrupts brain activity and produces a range of long-term neurological disorders.

Study explores the relationship between cytokines in saliva and COVID-19 severity

Penn State College of Medicine researchers are involved in an ongoing study looking at the relationship between proteins called cytokines in saliva and COVID-19 infection to help predict the severity of infection.

Study supports efficacy and safety of lung-selective nanotherapy against SARS-CoV-2 infection

A new preprint shows the potential role of a host protease cathepsin L inhibitor, which mediates viral entry into the host cell by its effect on the viral spike protein.

Chilblain-like lesions and COVID-19

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic brought about by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has also been responsible for various cutaneous manifestations. Among them, chilblain-like lesions (CLL) have been found to occur more frequently.

Altering the metabolism of macrophages improves recovery after neve injury in mice

Peripheral nerves — the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord — have the capacity for regeneration, but the rate of renewal is so slow that many nerve injuries lead to incomplete recovery and permanent disability for patients.

Critical function of IL-7 in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of COVID-19 patients

In this review, researchers summarized the therapeutic and pathogenic role of IL-7 in patients with COVID-19 and examined the promising role of IL-7 as a vaccine adjuvant.

Massage can enhance healing and strength of muscles, study finds

Massage has been used to treat sore, injured muscles for more than 3,000 years, and today many athletes swear by massage guns to rehabilitate their bodies. But other than making people feel good, do these "mechanotherapies" actually improve healing after a severe injury? According to a new study from researchers at Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), the answer is "yes."

Novel proteomics approach predicts severe COVID-19 outcomes

Researchers in the United States, Canada, and the UK have developed a potential new approach to predicting severe and critical outcomes among patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Psychological therapy alleviates adverse biobehavioral effects in young adult testicular cancer survivors

Psychological therapy reduces the adverse biobehavioral effects of testicular cancer in young adult survivors, according to a pilot study led by the University of California, Irvine.

Elevated allostatic load may impact treatment completion and breast cancer survival outcomes

Elevated allostatic load was associated with a lower likelihood of completing chemotherapy and a lower overall survival rate in patients with lymph node-positive or high-risk lymph node-negative HER2-negative breast cancer, according to results presented at the 14th AACR Conference on the Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved, held online October 6-8, 2021.

The role of ZBP1 in promoting SARS-CoV-2-induced cytokine expression

A new study reported that the ZBP1-induced inflammatory signaling pathway is dependent on ubiquitination and RIPK3’s scaffolding ability, independent of cell death.

J&J vaccine prevents SARS-CoV-2-induced thrombosis and inflammation in hamsters

In a recent study, researchers performed bulk RNA-Seq transcriptomic profiling of lungs from vaccinated and unvaccinated hamsters with the Janssen vaccine.

Immune response to SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern after natural infection or vaccination

A recent review paper published in the MDPI's journal Viruses highlights how available vaccines may be effective in protecting individuals against severe forms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but the protection against infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its transmission to others may be reduced – with consequences for community protection and herd immunity.

Early-stage interaction of monocytes with SARS-CoV-2-infected epithelial cell decides COVID-19 severity

A team of scientists from the USA and France has recently unveiled the mechanism of immune dysregulation in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients by analyzing the early-stage interaction between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected epithelial cells and immune cells. The study is currently available on the bioRxiv* preprint server.

Scientists describe SARS-CoV-2 uptake in tissue-resident human macrophages enhanced by virus-specific antibodies

Now, in a new news study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers have successfully induced similar chronicity associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in MISTRG6-hACE2 humanized mice.

Researchers compare transcriptomic and cytokine responses of colorectal cancer cells

Oncotarget published "Pan-drug and drug-specific mechanisms of 5-FU, irinotecan (CPT-11), oxaliplatin, and cisplatin identified by comparison of transcriptomic and cytokine responses of colorectal cancer cells" which reported that there was an increase in IL-8 by oxaliplatin and increase in ferritin by cisplatin which may contribute to cancer cell survival.
