New Study Sheds Light on Inflammation Linked to COVID-19

A new study has provided new insights into why the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is known to cause COVID-19, can sometimes fuels inflammation, which in turn causes serious illness. This research was led by scientists at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Its findings were published in the “Nature” journal. The researchers also discovered that the SARS-CoV-2 virus infects and kills specific cells in the immune system in the lungs and the blood. The elimination of these alarms is what triggers the immune system. In a news release, Professor Judith Lieberman, one of the leaders of the study, stated that…

Researchers May Have Found New Way to Slow Progression of Cancer

Scientists at the University of Sussex may have discovered a way to decrease the speed at which glioblastoma grows and strengthen potential treatments for the brain tumor. Glioblastoma is a common tumor found in adults. This aggressive tumor is often resistant to treatment, making it fatal. In their new study, researchers have shown that differentiation therapy may be used to limit the growth of the tumors and turn off the malignant properties of cancerous cells. They suggest that an inhibitor drug known to target certain cell proteins may be used to make glioblastoma treatments more effective. Professor Georgios Giamas of…
