A new study has identified a key metabolic pathway that is abnormally activated in people with brain fog, a common symptom of long COVID. The discovery opens the door to developing a way of diagnosing, monitoring and treating people with the condition….

A new study has found that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, damages the genes of the mitochondria, the cell’s energy generators, causing dysfunction in organs other than the lungs that continues after the lungs have recovered. The finding ma… Continue reading Long COVID may be caused by damage to cells’ energy generators
Researchers have developed a novel device that detects the COVID-19 virus in one minute using just a couple of breaths of exhaled air. The device has the potential to revolutionize the testing process, especially in hospitals and schools and at large-s… Continue reading 1-minute COVID breathalyzer could revolutionize testing at social events
Caltech scientists have developed a new type of vaccine that works like a hybrid of mRNA and protein nanoparticles. In tests in mice, the prototype produced five times more antibodies than existing COVID-19 vaccines, and could be put to work against a … Continue reading Hybrid mRNA and protein vaccine induce 5x more antibodies in mice
Scientists have developed and tested a new potential treatment for cancer that works in a similar way to the COVID-19 vaccines. The technique involves delivering mRNA molecules to cancer cells and tricking them into producing toxic proteins that kill t… Continue reading mRNA Trojan Horse tricks cancer into making toxins to kill itself
More than a decade in research and development, a state-of-the-art needle-free vaccine is imminent for commercial use as biotechnology company Vaxxas cuts the ribbon on a massive production plant and business headquarters in Brisbane, Australia.Continu… Continue reading Needle-free vaccines one step closer as huge production plant opens
New research has found that viruses such as the one that causes COVID-19 can cause brain cells to fuse together and malfunction. The findings might explain the ‘brain fog’ and other neurological symptoms some people experience following infection with … Continue reading COVID-19 virus can cause brain cells to fuse, may explain ‘brain fog’
Using AI, researchers have created the first map of a group of proteins known as the Commander complex, which function as the body’s “postal workers.” The new understanding opens the door to new drugs and modalities for fighting everything from Alzheimer’s to infectious diseases to cancer.
