Analysis of mouse neuroinflammation samples aided by flow cytometry
A new study has highlighted the advantages of using flow cytometry for the analysis of neuroimmune cell populations from mouse models.
New imaging method reveals glycan vaccine targets on HIV molecules
Using cryo-electron microscopy and site-specific mass spectrometry, researchers have mapped the glycans that shield HIV from the immune system.
Flow cytometry market to exhibit CAGR of 12 percent
A new report has said that by 2023, the flow cytometry market will be worth $8.88 billion, partly due to an increase in stem cell research.
Novel vaccine protects mice from lung, bowel and pancreatic cancer
By targeting the mutated KRAS gene, researchers have developed an experimental vaccine that protected mice against a range of cancers.
Mini lung organoids reveal early SARS-CoV-2 infection process
Using lung organoids, researchers have shown that 48 hours after SARS-CoV-2 infection, the innate immune response began.
![A coiling protein 'shell,' called a nucleocapsid, shown here, surrounds Ebola's genetic material, which consists of single-strand RNA. University of Delaware researchers are simulating the way molecules of this nucleocapsid move and interact, atom by atom, to understand their functions and expose targets for anti-viral treatments [Credit: Juan Perilla Laboratory].](https://drug.russellpublishing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Ebola-nucleocapsid-e1603365997854.jpg)
The nucleocapsid as a novel drug target for Ebola virus
Using supercomputer stimulations researchers reveal that the structural stability of the Ebola nucleocapsid is depended on the presence of RNA and interactions with charged ions.
Novel anti-inflammatory slows progression of MS in mice
When delivered intranasally, the anti-inflammatory drug VX-765 prevented axon demyelination and loss in a murine model of multiple sclerosis (MS).
Severe COVID-19 symptoms may not be caused by cytokine storm
An analysis reveals that in comparison to other inflammatory diseases such as cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) and sepsis, the levels of cytokines in severely ill COVID-19 patients is low.
SARS-CoV-2 also uses neuropilin-1 to infect human cells
Researchers reveal that SARS-CoV-2 is more infectious than SARS-CoV because it can use both ACE2 and neuropilin-1 to infect cells.
Novel Alzheimer’s vaccine shows promise in murine models
Scientists who developed the E22W42 DC vaccine suggest it could be safer and more effective than previous anti-amyloid Alzheimer’s therapies.
CBD could treat inflammation caused by COVID-19, study shows
Researchers have found that CBD reduces inflammation in the lungs of COVID-19 mouse models by increasing levels of the apelin peptide.
First draft sequence of human proteome released
Researchers have mapped 90 percent of the human proteome, which could inform the development of new medicines.
Assay to reveal anti-tumour T-cell cytotoxicity via flow cytometry developed
A simple co-culture assay that can assess anti-tumour T-cell cytotoxicity via luminescence and flow cytometry has been created.
SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease could be a novel drug target
Scientists suggest targeting the SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro) with inhibitors could prevent the spread of infection.
