Atherosclerosis is the underlying condition that causes heart attacks and strokes. Researchers at Radboudumc in the Netherlands have discovered a protein, Prosaposin, that appears to play an important role in atherosclerosis.
ATLANTA – The Georgia Department of Public Health reported more than 1,000 new COVID-19 cases Thursday.
Researchers from Harvard University have developed a new tool to study ''undruggable'' proteins through the sugars they depend on. Almost 85 percent of proteins, including those associated with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, inflammation, and certain cancers, are beyond the reach of current drugs. Now, with a new pencil/eraser tool, researchers can start to study how sugar molecules affect these proteins, insights that could lead to new treatments for the ''undruggable.''
E-Mail SAN ANTONIO (March 11, 2020) - Texas Biomedical Research Institute (Texas Biomed) received two Department of Defense's (DoD) Defense Health Agency subcontracts to assess the efficacy of surface coating and aerosolized decontamination technologies to combat SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory pathogens on surfaces and in the air. The $4.6 million contracts, of which Texas Biomed will receive $1.95 million, are aimed at identifying viral and microbial decontamination strategies that improve indoor air quality and surfaces in medical treatment facilities, close quarters and rigorous setti...

A new paper published by University of Chicago researchers reveals their secret: exploiting quantum mechanics. "Before this study, the scientific community saw quantum signatures generated in biological systems and asked the question, were these results just a consequence of biology being bui...
