Eosinophil Cell Therapy Reverses Age-Related Impairments, Promotes Rejuvenation
Researchers demonstrate in an animal model that age-related frailty and immune decline can be halted and even partially reversed using a novel cell-based therapeutic approach.
Tocilizumab Calms 'Cytokine Storm' to Reduce Risk of Dying by 45 Percent in COVID-19 Patients on Ventilators
Patients who received single intravenous dose of tocilizumab were also more likely to leave the hospital or be off ventilator within a month, despite double the risk of additional infection, according to a new study.
Significantly Less Addictive Kappa Opioid May Slow Progression of Osteoarthritis While Easing Pain
A new study reveals that kappa opioids, a significantly less addictive opioid, may preserve cartilage in joints and ease pain.
Charcoal Nano-materials Fight Superoxide-Induced Disease, May Aid Treatment of COVID-19
Artificial enzymes made of treated charcoal could have the power to curtail damaging levels of superoxides, toxic radical oxygen ions that appear at high concentrations after an injury.
Breakthrough Discovery to Transform Prostate Cancer Treatment
A novel formulation of the prostate cancer drug abiraterone acetate - currently marketed as Zytiga - will dramatically improve the quality of life for people suffering from prostate cancer, as pre-clinical trials show the new formulation improves the drug's effectiveness by 40 per cent.
Viruses Steal Genetic Code to Create New Human-Virus Genes
Now researchers have shown that a large group of viruses, including the influenza viruses and other serious pathogens, steal genetic signals from their hosts to expand their own genomes.
Antihistamines May Slow Early Progression of Huntington's Disease
Scientists have described a potential new therapeutic strategy for slowing down early-stage Huntington's disease.
Aspirin Linked to Reduction of Cancers of the Digestive Tract
The largest and most comprehensive analysis to date of the link between aspirin and cancers of the digestive tract has shown that it is associated not only with a significant reduction in the risk of developing bowel cancer but also of several other cancers that almost invariably fatal, such as pancreatic and liver cancers.
Proteins May Block Lethal Cytokine Storms Seen in COVID-19 Patients
A team of researchers has developed specialized antibody-like receptor proteins that they believe could soak up the excess cytokines produced during a cytokine storm. This excessive immune response, sometimes seen in Covid-19 patients, can be fatal.
Emotional Stress Remodels Neurons to Alter Brain Function
Working in a mouse model, researchers report that a single stressful event produced quick and long-lasting changes in astrocytes, the brain cells that clean up neurotransmitters after they've communicated information between nerve cells.
