Host cell transmembrane protein MARCH8 targets lysine residues to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses The search for effective inhibitors with therapeutic potential against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for the shattering pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has thrown up some surprising results. A new study, released as a preprint on the bioRxiv* server, deals with the inhibitory activity of a membrane protein that has broad-spectrum activity against multiple viruses, showing that this is due to its effect on cytoplasmic lysine re...

COVID-19 may alter host proteins to cause autoimmunity To better understand the transient and chronic autoimmune symptoms caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Guizhou Medical University, and biotech company Curandis embarked on an endeavor to establish a comprehensive autoantigenome for COVID19. In a previous study, the team identified a repertoire of autoantigens (autoAgs) from human fetal lung fibroblast HFL1 cells strongly tied to neurological and diverse autoimmune symptoms COVID19. In th...

Religious beliefs modulate protein expression linked to cardiovascular disease in US South Asians The Study on Stress, Spirituality and Health (SSSH), a cutting-edge proteomics analysis, suggests that religious beliefs modulate protein expression associated with cardiovascular disease in South Asians in the United States. The research, published by investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) in Scientific Reports, demonstrates that spiritual struggles, in particular, significant...

New technology helps study muscle biology more clearly Exercising regularly is one of the best defenses against metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes - but why? It's a question that scientists are still struggling to answer. While exercising changes the molecular behavior of muscles, it's not well understood how these molecular changes improve metabolic health. Scientists at the University of Copenhagen have now developed a new technology that allows researchers to study muscle biology on a more detailed level - and hopefully find some new answers. They extracted 'fast' and 'slow' ...
