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

Researchers have discovered that the transporter protein Mfsd2a is critical for regulating brain cells that maintain myelin sheaths, which protect nerves. This discovery could help reduce the effects of aging on the brain and lead to therapies for neurological disorders stemming from reduced myelina

Scientists have found a lipid transporter crucial to regulating the cells that make myelin, the nerve-protecting sheath.

Duke-NUS Medical School has appointed Professor Patrick Tan to the leadership role of Senior Vice-Dean (Designate) for Research, effective from 1 May 2023. He takes over from Professor Patrick Casey, who is stepping down after having led the School’s research efforts since its inception in 2005. Prof Tan will also assume the role of Senior Scientific Advisor at SingHealth, where he will be pivotal in strengthening the relationship between SingHealth and Duke-NUS in research and innovation, as ...

Researchers have discovered that microproteins play a previously unrecognized role in forming the electron transport chain within the mitochondria, enabling them to regulate energy supply.

 E-Mail To effectively fight off SARS-CoV-2, the immune system depends on both antibodies and T cells, a type of white blood cell, which work together to eradicate the virus. However, little was known about virus-specific T cells in asymptomatic patients. "We now know that many people are getting infected with SARS-CoV-2 without realising it, as they stay healthy and dont develop any symptoms. These asymptomatic infections may provide the key to understanding how the immune system can contro...

Study finds SARS CoV-2-related viruses in Southeast Asian animals Only 19 mammal species are longer-lived than humans relative to body size. Eighteen of them are bats, some living more than four decades. Photo: ReutersPremium 2 min read Share Via Read Full Story While various researches are ongoing to investigate the origin and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in China, a new study has warned that SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses (SC2r-CoVs) are circulating in animals such as bats and pangolins as fa...

Early induction of functional SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells linked with mild symptoms in COVID-19 patients Humoral and cellular adaptive immunity are two immune mechanisms that act against pathogens. Humoral immunity is mediated by antibodies, while cellular immunity does not involve antibodies and is, instead, facilitated by T cells. Studying how these immune mechanisms mediate SARS-CoV-2 infections could be beneficial in controlling the progression of the disease. However, their roles in viral ...
