One of the reasons COVID-19 has such a high mortality rate is the cytokine storm it induces in some patients. The cytokine storm is an excessive response by the immune…
Researchers have demonstrated it is possible to diagnose Parkinson’s disease from a skin swab and analysis of sebum. While some refinement of the test is still required, a skin swab…
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University have utilized CRISPR technology for a potential new treatment for RNA-based viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and influenza, which stops the…

A signaling pathway has been identified that can be targeted in a novel treatment for leukemia. Leukemia is caused by leukemic stem cells which give rise to abnormal blood cells…
The current model used to study the human blood brain barrier has been discovered to have a serious flaw: one which casts previous research using the model into question. The…
Infection with SARS-CoV-2 often sees patients temporarily lose the senses of smell (anosmia) and taste (ageusia), but why this occurs with COVID-19 is not well understood. A study of patients…
