Nih and naid categorically has not funded gain of function research. again, we have not funded gain of function research. i dont know how many times i can say it, madam chair. we did not fund gain of function research. steve: you get the idea? despite continuous denials from dr. fauci the national institutes of health which he runs now admitting the u.s. did fund gain of function research at wuhan through a grant provided to the nonprofit ecohealth alliance. a top nih official writing, quote: th...

Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disease that features the accumulation of the beta-amyloid peptide and Tau protein in the brain, which are associated with deficits in the neuronal connections and with dementia.

A "humanized" mouse model equipped with the immune system of a patient who needs an organ transplant beats current measures for identifying the best potential living donor, scientists report.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK - StrideBio, an emerging startup focusing on gene therapies which closed on a big $81.5 million round of venture capital in March, is

Novel protein construct prevents lethal COVID-19 in mice Researchers in the United States have developed a novel protein that prevented lethal disease among mice infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) – the agent that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The team engineered a soluble, short, and dimeric version of the native host cell receptor that is bound by a surface structure on SARS-CoV-2 called spike during the initial stage of the infection pr...

15 March 2021 In this application note, The Jackson Laboratory demonstrate how the cord blood CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) humanized NSG™-IL15 mouse enables in vivo efficacy research for compounds targeting human natural killer (NK) cell activity including antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).

New tumor-penetrating therapy may improve outcomes in patients with pancreatic cancer Every 12 minutes, someone in the United States dies of pancreatic cancer, which is often diagnosed late, spreads rapidly and has a five-year survival rate at approximately 10 percent. Treatment may involve radiation, surgery and chemotherapy, though often the cancer becomes resistant to drugs. Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center, in collaboration with S...

CBD ameliorates cognitive function in experimental model of familial Alzheimers A two-week course of high doses of CBD helps restore the function of two proteins key to reducing the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaque, a hallmark of Alzheimers disease, and improves cognition in an experimental model of early onset familial Alzheimers, investigators report. The proteins TREM2 and IL-33 are important to the ability of the brains immune cells to literally consume dead cells and other debris like t...

Researchers find new way to prevent attention deficits associated with Fragile X syndrome Mount Sinai Researchers find a new way to prevent attention deficits associated with Fragile X, a leading genetic cause of autism, in an animal model. Corresponding author: Hirofumi Morishita, MD, Ph.D., Department of Psychiatry, Neuroscience, Friedman Brain Institute, Mindich Child Health and Development Institute, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York. Bottom line: The adolescent maturation o...

A new study reports positive outcomes from two new vaccine candidates. The research, led by Axel T. Lehrer from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, studied mice's immune response when administered the CoVaccine HT adjuvant with an insect-cell expressed SARS-CoV-2 spike protein ectodomain.
