Many viral infections that plague humans originate from bats, yet intriguingly bats suffer no ill effects from the myriad of viruses that inhabit their bodies, a phenomenon scientists are researching in the hope of finding insights into how to moderate impacts on humans.

Researchers discovered a protein in bats, called ASC2, that could help humans to fight inflammatory diseases and aging.

The research, published in the journal Cell, is focused on multi-protein complexes called inflammasomes that are responsible for the overactive inflammation that causes serious symptoms in many diseases.Singapore, May 14 (IANS) By studying the ...

Scientists have identified a new protein in bats which could be used to help fight inflammatory diseases in humans.

A bat protein called ASC2 has a powerful ability to inhibit inflammasomes in mice, thereby limiting inflammation.

We still don't know where SARS-CoV-2 came from -- but bats are a major virus reservoir in general.
