A team of researchers has identified three repurposed drugs that may be effective in treating COVID-19. In a new study, scientists have found three previously-available drugs that may be effective at treating COVID-19 in its early stages. The research, which appears in the journal ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science, is […]
A study has found that older men may worry less about COVID-19 and may be less likely to make behavioral changes in response to the pandemic. Share on PinterestNew research suggests that older men are less likely to worry about COVID-19, despite being at a higher risk than other demographic […]
Recent research has shed new light on a particular gene mutation linked to a rare form of autism. Share on PinterestA new study looks at the genetic mechanism behind a rare form of autism. A new study is helping scientists better understand the link between the mutation of a gene […]
A recent study shows that a significant number of people who develop coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) may experience serious cardiovascular complications. Moreover, some possible treatments of the respiratory disease could end up harming cardiovascular health. Share on PinterestA new study calls for maintained awareness of possible cardiovascular complications of COVID-19. […]
A new study suggests that a molecule that usually suppresses harmful blood vessel growth may do the opposite in a type of sight loss called age-related macular degeneration (AMD). If confirmed in future studies, the discovery could lead to more effective treatments. More than 1.8 million Americans aged 40 years […]
Discovering that white fat cells are not all the same may help researchers better understand the role of fat cells in disease. Share on PinterestResearchers have identified different subtypes of white fat cells, with key roles in disease. The risks associated with white adipose tissue, or white body fat, depend […]
Researchers combined mouse and human data to identify the gene, which may reduce cholesterol production in the liver in response to a high cholesterol diet. Share on PinterestScientists have found a gene that may explain the inherited risk of high cholesterol levels. Cholesterol has several vital functions in the human […]
People with COVID-19 often experience gastrointestinal symptoms. An analysis of abdominal scans suggests that blood clots in small arteries may starve bowel tissue of oxygen in the most severely ill patients. Share on PinterestA recent study uses CT scans to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on the bowel. In the […]
High levels of the protein suPAR in the blood of a person with COVID-19 may be a predictor of a more severe disease course. Share on PinterestThe presence of the protein suPAR in a person’s blood may help researchers pinpoint who is at higher risk of severe COVID-19. A new […]
