Colombian authorities shut down a decrepit monkey laboratory on January 30 funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is expected to decide soon if more U.S. taxpayer dollars will go to two Colombian malaria experimenters who are The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is expected to decide soon if more U.S. taxpayer dollars will go to two Colombian malaria experimenters who are currently under investigation by local authorities and who confine tiny owl monkeys to rusty cages amid their own waste in a makeshift pen made of backyard fencing and plastic sheets. After an exh...

This is growing list of fall activities happening in Middle Tennessee. As I get more, I will add to the list until the early-mid October

As part of World Malaria Day 2022, we interview Karine Le Roch PH.D., about her latest research into how novel antimalarial therapeutic strategies could be on the horizon, after identifying two proteins that are critical to the survival of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum.

Understanding the exact function of a specific pair of proteins could lead to the discovery of new therapeutic strategies to fight malaria, according to researchers. Using advanced genome editing technology, the scientists were able to show that these two proteins (RAP01 and RAP21) are intimately linked to P. falciparum’s mitochondria. Without these proteins, the mitochondria cannot ensure the parasite’s function and it dies.

During infection, SARS-CoV-2 binds to a cellular receptor known as angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) before entering a cell and replicating. Because it is not well established whether common blood pressure medications can increase the levels of ACE2, there has been some concern that patients taking these medications might be more susceptible to COVID-19.

Immunity to the novel coronavirus infection after recovery will laso protect against the British strain, Anna Popova, chief of Russia’s sanitary watchdog, said on Tuesday. "We continue to study the virus we isolated at our Vector Research Center. I can say that the program is being implemented as scheduled but it is obvious already now that the immunity develop...
