New research suggests way to turn SARS-CoV-2 against itself. Scientists have discovered a possible new way to fight COVID-19 by turning part of SARS-CoV-2 against itself. This new strategy shows promise in mice and in human cells in a lab dish, according to the team led by researchers from the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical...
by University of Bristol A synthetic SMC phenotype underlies coronary microvascular contractile dysfunction. The profile of biomarkers for contractile vs. synthetic phenotype strongly reflects whether an artery can generate MT and therefore contribute to the regulation of coronary blood flow.

A study published today in Nature Metabolism, from PREDICT, the largest ongoing nutritional research program in the world that looks at responses...
For the first time, scientists have come up with a precise atomic-level explanation for why glulisine- a commonly used medication to treat diabetes- is faster acting than insulin. The findings, published in Scientific Reports, could have benefits for diabetes patients in ensuring that more improved insulin can be developed for future treatment. Image credit: Reversing Your...
