Disrupting tumour pH levels could be novel strategy to fight pancreatic cancer
April 2020 | Science News
Researchers say By targeting NHE7 transport proteins in pancreatic tumours, caused the pH of cancer cells to become acidic, combatting the condition.
Extra Coronavirus Entry Points in Lung Cells of Smokers and COPD Patients May Increase Risk of Severe COVID-19 Infection
April 2020 | Science News
Scientists found that the lung cells of people who are current cigarette smokers, and individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have increased levels of the angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE-2) receptor that the SARS-CoV-2 virus uses to gain entry into host cells and cause infection.
Scientists identify fusion peptide as promising COVID-19 drug target
April 2020 | Science News
Researchers working on related coronaviruses SARS and MERS have identified the membrane fusion peptide on the Spike protein as a possible drug target for SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19.
MERS Vaccine that Fully Protects Mice Used as Basis for Coronavirus Candidate
April 2020 | Science News
Scientists are optimistic that a new compound, dubbed EIDD-2801, could be effective in treating the symptoms of COVID-19. The candidate drug has shown efficacy in reducing lung damage in mouse studies, and will soon progress to clinical trials in humans.
A Regulator of Fatty Acid Uptake is Identified
April 2020 | Science News
Scientists have discovered that overweight people produce less EHD2 than people with normal weight, It is thought that EDH2 plays a role in a metabolic pathway involving fatty acid uptake, which is modified in obesity.
Decoy ACE2 receptors could be promising COVID-19 infection-preventing drug
April 2020 | Science News
Recombinant angiotensin converting enzymes (ACE2) reduced infection and viral growth in cell cultures and organoids by acting as a decoy for SARS-CoV-2.
Highly Scalable COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate Shows Promise
April 2020 | Science News
Scientists announced a potential vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 showed promising results in mice, the vaccine, delivered through a fingertip-sized patch, produces antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2 at quantities thought to be sufficient for neutralizing the virus.
New airway-hugging immune cells discovered in the lung
April 2020 | Science News
Scientists have discovered a previously unknown subset of immune cells residing in the lung that specifically combat viral infections. The respiratory tract is particularly susceptible to invading viral pathogens, such as influenza, or SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Alveolar macrophages, or AMs, are the first line of cellular defense in the airways.
Ultra sensitive cancer diagnostic detects DNA "fingerprints" in liquid biopsies
March 2020 | Science News
Researchers have developed a diagnostic technology that can be used to monitor patients for the presence of recurring cancer cells after receiving treatment.
