Medical News: Understanding the Role of ENOX2 in Melanoma
Scientists from the University Hospital of Ulm, the University of Hohenheim, and Eberhard Karls University of Tuebingen have delved into the function of a protein known as ENOX2 in melanoma, one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer. This protein, which is linked to cancer growth and survival, could act as a new biomarker - an indicator fo...
U.S. Medical News: In a comprehensive study from researchers at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and the Penn State College of Medicine, cases of babesiosis - a parasitic disease transmitted by ticks - were found to be rising at an average annual rate of 9% in the United States from 2015 to 2022. Babesiosis, often likened to "American malaria," can be dangerous, particu...
Medical News: A groundbreaking study led by the University of Queensland (UQ), Australia has shed light on why so many long COVID sufferers report ongoing heart issues. Research led by Associate Professor Kirsty Short focused on the cause of persistent chest pain and heart palpitations experienced by individuals struggling with long-term COVID-19 effects. By analyzing blood samples from long COVID...
Medical News: During the COVID-19 pandemic, health experts noticed how the virus affected existing health conditions, including migraine headaches. This study, conducted by researchers from the University of Palermo in Italy, explored the impact of COVID-19 on migraine patients. Their findings, gathered from 102 participants, offer insights into how the virus can worsen or, in rare cases, improve ...
Herbs And Phytochemicals: Natural Compound Iberverin Targets Liver Cancer Cells for Self-Destruction
A groundbreaking study by researchers from Jiangxi Medical College at Nanchang University and Shanxi Academy of Advanced Research and Innovation suggests that iberverin, a phytochemical compound derived from cabbage, might offer a potent treatment against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a common t...
Medical News: Genetic Link to COVID-19 Severity
A recent study reveals that genetics may hold key insights into why some people experience milder COVID-19 symptoms than others. This discovery centers on a specific genetic marker, known as the HLA-B-21M/T dimorphism, which affects the immune response of natural killer (NK) cells. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, along with collabora...
Medical News: Researchers Discover New Stem Cell-Based Treatment for Dual Viral Infections
In a new breakthrough, scientists from the University of Tsukuba in Japan have found that extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could help reduce inflammation caused by a co-infection of SARS-CoV-2 and the influenza virus. Such infections, when occurring together, are parti...
Medical News: The world has faced both the COVID-19 pandemic and the widespread rollout of various SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, bringing up essential questions about how our immune systems respond to this virus and the vaccines designed to protect against it. T cells, a key part of the immune system, carry unique “fingerprints” called T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoires, specifically within a se...
Medical News: New research shows COVID-19 does more than just affect the lungs - it may also have serious effects on the liver, especially in individuals with pre-existing liver conditions. Researchers at the University of Campania in Italy found that the virus’s spike protein (specifically the S1 subunit) interacts with liver proteins, potentially worsening hepatitis B (HBV) and increasing ...
Medical News: In an exciting development, Hungarian researchers have uncovered a novel biomarker for mitochondrial dysfunction in patients suffering from Long COVID. This groundbreaking research reveals crucial insights into how SARS-CoV-2 impacts cellular structures and contributes to lingering symptoms that affect millions worldwide. Scientists believe this discovery could pave the way for bette...
Medical News: A team of researchers from Istituti Clinici Scientifici Maugeri IRCCS in Pavia, Italy, the National Research Council (CNR)-IASI in Rome, and other renowned institutions has revealed that COVID-19’s effects extend far beyond the initial infection. Their findings indicate that the virus leaves a lasting legacy on our DNA, specifically through epigenetic modifications such as DNA ...
Medical News: COVID-19 and Our Genes: How the Virus Affects Us at the Molecular Level
Researchers from multiple institutions, including the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Poland, have released a study that dives deep into how COVID-19 affects our genes. The study sheds light on how SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind COVID-19, disrupts important gene networks within our bodies. By understan...
Medical News: Rising Mpox Cases in the UK
The United Kingdom has reported two more cases of a potentially deadly variant of mpox, a viral disease known for causing high fever, severe rash, and, in some cases, death. These additional cases, identified by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), were found among household contacts of the country’s first confirmed case, raising the total number o...
Medical News: The alarming surge of H5N1 avian flu cases among humans, dairy farms, and poultry farms across the United States has become a pressing issue for both public health and agricultural sectors. With a steady rise in reported infections, the virus has begun spreading through multiple states, including California, Washington, and Oregon, affecting not only poultry and livestock but also po...
Herbs And Phytochemicals: A new study from the Federal University of Ouro Preto in Brazil has found that piperine, a natural compound found in black and long peppers, could protect the liver from damage caused by excessive paracetamol intake. Paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) is widely used for pain relief, but overdosing on it can lead to severe liver injury, making piperine’s poten...
