A novel imaging device has been created by biomedical engineers at Duke University that could be used in a non-invasive diagnostic test for Alzheimer’s disease. The device allows researchers to…
New data suggests smokers have a much higher risk of COVID-19 complications than non-smokers, but the reasons why are not understood. One recent study suggests that the reason may be…
Scientists in China have isolated a pair of neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The antibodies bind to the glycoprotein spike of the virus and prevent it…
A tool that was developed to study nerve cells in flies has been repurposed to study proteins in the blood of mammals that bind to the RNA in the process…
Researchers have identified a fully human monoclonal antibody that prevents SARS-CoV-2 from infecting human cultured cells. Monoclonal antibodies are man-made molecules that mimic human antibodies in the immune system. As…
A team of researchers at the Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have developed a machine learning AI algorithm that could help to detect Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases,…
Two new studies have been published in the past few days that shed light on how SARS-CoV-2 spreads and enters the body and identifies the specific cell types that the…
Researchers at MIT and Skoltech have developed a new combinatorial therapy that could be used to treat liver cancer in humans, the fourth most common form of cancer. The researchers…
New research suggests COVID-19 patients remain capable of transmitting the virus for several days after all symptoms of infection have disappeared. One small study, published in the American Journal of…
The 2019 Novel Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease COVID-19 in humans, has spread around the world rapidly, far faster and to a much greater extent than similar coronaviruses such…
