Aberrant CXCR4/CXCL12 signaling is involved in many pathophysiological processes such as cancer and inflammatory diseases. A natural fragment of serum albumin, named EPI-X4, has previously been identified as endogenous peptide antagonist andinverse agonistof CXCR4 and is a promising compound for the development of improved analogues for the therapy of CXCR4-associated diseases.

Researchers from the Israel Institute of Biological Research delineated the interplay between IAV and SARS CoV-2 infections.

Research has shown that individuals who have diabetes are more prone to develop dementia.
