Lindquist investigator research on mucormycosis, the deadly 'black fungus'


Credit: The Lundquist Institute
LOS ANGELES (May 13, 2021) The Lundquist Institute today announced that one of its spinoff start-up companies, Vitalex Biosciences, founded by researcher Dr. Ashraf Ibrahim, is producing an antibody that stems the spread of mucormycosis, a deadly fungal infection with an overall mortality rate of 50% and higher. Mucormycosis is an emerging infection caused by exposure to mucor, a mold commonly found in soil, plants, manure, and decaying fruits and vegetables. It affects the sinuses, the brain and the lungs and is life-threatening in diabetic or severely immunocompromised individuals, such as cancer patients. In addition to the >50% death rates, extremely disfiguring surgery is often needed to remove necrotic tissues. ....

Dental procedures during pandemic are no riskier than a drink of water


 E-Mail
COLUMBUS, Ohio - A new study s findings dispel the misconception that patients and providers are at high risk of catching COVID-19 at the dentist s office.
SARS-CoV-2 spreads mainly through respiratory droplets, and dental procedures are known to produce an abundance of aerosols - leading to fears that flying saliva during a cleaning or a restorative procedure could make the dentist s chair a high-transmission location.
Ohio State University researchers set out to determine whether saliva is the main source of the spray, collecting samples from personnel, equipment and other surfaces reached by aerosols during a range of dental procedures.
By analyzing the genetic makeup of the organisms detected in those samples, the researchers determined that watery solution from irrigation tools, not saliva, was the main source of any bacteria or viruses present in the spatter and spurts from patients mouths. ....

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Last year, Charles O. Elson, M.D., demonstrated a potential preventive treatment for Crohn s disease, a form of inflammatory bowel disease. He used a mouse model that included immune-reactive T cells from patients with Crohn s disease in a flagellin peptide-specific immunotherapy. This study provided proof-of-principle that a flagellin-directed immunotherapy might provide similar benefits in patients.
Now University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers have moved a step closer to possible clinical testing of this treatment, say Elson and co-first authors Katie Alexander, Ph.D., and Qing Zhao, M.D., Ph.D. Their study, published in the journal ....
