| Study confirms the low likelihood that SARS-CoV-2 on hospital surfaces is infectious Posted: 25 Jun 2021 12:56 PM PDT A new study confirms the low likelihood that coronavirus contamination on hospital surfaces is infectious. The study is the original report on recovering near-complete SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences directly from surface swabs. |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2021 07:05 AM PDT Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) significantly affected more Black and Latino children than white children, with Black children at the highest risk, according to a new study. Researchers also found cardiac complications, including systolic myocardial dysfunction and valvular regurgitation, were more common in MIS-C patients who were critically ill. |
| Decoding humans' survival from coronaviruses Posted: 24 Jun 2021 11:22 AM PDT Researchers analyzed the genomes of more than 2,500 modern humans from 26 worldwide populations, to better understand how humans have adapted to historical coronavirus outbreaks. |
| Leopard gecko skin tumors traced to cancer gene Posted: 24 Jun 2021 11:15 AM PDT In a rare gecko color variety known as Lemon Frost, scientists have traced an unusual coloring and tendency to form tumors to a gene linked to human melanoma. |
| Glial cells help mitigate neurological damage in Huntington's disease Posted: 24 Jun 2021 10:55 AM PDT Glia affected by Huntington's disease respond by tuning down synapse genes, which has a protective effect. |
| Membrane proteins of bacteria and humans show surprising similarities Posted: 24 Jun 2021 10:55 AM PDT The cells of simple organisms, such as bacteria, as well as human cells are surrounded by a membrane, which fulfills various tasks including protecting the cell from stress. Researchers have now discovered that a membrane protein found in bacteria has a similar structure and function as a group of proteins that are responsible for remodeling and rebuilding the cell membrane in humans. No connection between the two protein groups was known before. |
| Posted: 24 Jun 2021 10:55 AM PDT A new study shows that inhibitory neurons do more than just inhibit neuron activity like an off-switch; paradoxically, they actually increase the amount of information transmitted through the nervous system. |
| People with fibromyalgia are substituting CBD for opioids to manage pain Posted: 24 Jun 2021 09:17 AM PDT As the ravages of the opioid epidemic lead many to avoid these powerful painkillers, a significant number of people with fibromyalgia are finding an effective replacement in CBD-containing products, finds a new study. |
| Enlisting the newly discovered L-IST RNA in the fight against type 2 diabetes Posted: 24 Jun 2021 09:17 AM PDT Across the world, type 2 diabetes is on the rise. A research group has discovered a new gene that may hold the key to preventing and treating lifestyle related diseases such as type 2 diabetes. |
| Posted: 24 Jun 2021 08:45 AM PDT A new study found that plant-based protein shakes may be potential viable alternatives to milk-based whey protein shakes, particularly in people with need of careful monitoring of glucose levels. |
| Melatonin in mice: there's more to this hormone than sleep Posted: 23 Jun 2021 11:17 AM PDT Researchers have created a mouse model that allows the study of naturally occurring melatonin. Experiments using the new mice showed that natural melatonin was linked to a pre-hibernation state that allows mice to slow down their metabolism and survive when food is scarce. |
| Phone swabs that can accurately detect COVID-19 Posted: 23 Jun 2021 08:38 AM PDT Researchers have developed an accurate, non-invasive, and low-cost method of testing for COVID-19 using samples taken from the screens of mobile phones. |
