Mathematical Models Show COVID-19 May Become Seasonal Virus Within a Decade

Recent research conducted by researchers from the University of Utah has found that in the next 10 years, the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is responsible for the coronavirus, may cause no more than sniffles and coughs similar to the common cold. The researchers used mathematical models to predict how the body’s immunity changes over time. Their findings were reported in the “Viruses” journal. Fred Adler, a professor of biological sciences and mathematics at the institution, explained that the models demonstrated a possible future that is yet to be addressed fully. He added that as people collectively develop immunity over the next…

UM Twin Cities Researchers Find Way to Optimize Immune Response Against Cancer

In what many have described as groundbreaking work, a team of researchers based at University of Minnesota Twin Cities has demonstrated how the body’s immune cells can be engineered in order to navigate the physical barriers that make it hard for an individual’s immune system to fight cancerous tumors. This study has the potential to improve how millions of cancer patients are treated. The research paper was published in the journal “Nature Communications.” Conventionally, cancers are commonly treated through the use of chemicals (chemotherapy), radiation and surgery. Combinations of these approaches are also common. However, immunotherapy is also gaining ground…

New Microscopic Imaging Method May Help Enhance Bio-Implant Development

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have designed a microscopic imaging approach that may help improve drug screening and disease modeling as well as enhance how bio-implants are developed. 3D-printing platforms are utilized in the development of bio-printed structures using a bio-ink made up of materials, biomolecules and cells, which is passed through a tiny tube. While the method is effective, cells may sometimes get damaged as they are moved through the narrow tube. Through the use of a microscopy technique, the scientists have assessed and found information on how cell damage occurs during the 3D-printing process. The technique, which…

Researchers Identify Compound That Could Prevent Drug-Induced Arrhythmias

Some of the most commonly used medications, such as antibiotics, are usually administered in low doses, despite the greater therapeutic benefit they possess, because of the risk of arrhythmias. Arrhythmias occur when an individual’s heartbeat becomes irregular, beating either too slow or too fast. Cardiac arrhythmias usually occur when electrical impulses in an individual’s heart aren’t working properly. A team of researchers from various institutions have discovered a compound that hinders cardiac arrhythmias from occurring when these drugs are given in higher doses, through experimental and computational validation. This will make it easier for these drugs to be administered safely,…

Case Study Shows Coronavirus Infection Can Trigger Recurrent Blood Clots

Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School researchers have discovered that the coronavirus may cause blood clots in an individual’s arms. Their findings, which were reported in the “Viruses” journal, delve into how inflammation brought about by the coronavirus can result in upper extremity blood clots. This case study is part of a bigger study by the institution involving a group of patients that had contracted the coronavirus infection and were either discharged or admitted to a hospital between March and May of last year. While researchers do know that the disease may cause lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, this is…

GBM Brain Cancer Sorting Development Latest Bit of Good News for Patients as CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP) Develops Drug Trial

Biopharmaceutical developer CNS Pharmaceuticals is working on ways to improve overall survivability for glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”) brain cancer patients GBM is considered to be an incurable brain cancer that usually only leaves patients about 15 months to live once they are diagnosed, prompting research efforts to improve patients’ responses to therapeutic approaches A recent study found that the GBM patients most likely to succumb within a relatively short period could be identified with non-invasive MRI scans, allowing researchers to grant them priority in clinical trials Another recent study found patient responses could be improved simply by changing the time of…
