To increase testing for COVID-19, researchers are coming together.
Mucus may be part of the spread of the coronavirus and University of Utah biomedical engineer Jessica Kramer has received a grant to research the potential role it plays in spreading the virus.
According to a March 30 report in the journal Nature, 60 days after Hubei province went into lockdown, authorities are lifting travel restrictions.
Data published from the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's Disease (A4) study on April 6 show that early stages of Alzheimer's disease could be represented by high levels of amyloid protein in the brain.

Concern over the number of individuals who have contracted COVID-19 without contact with a symptomatic individual have researchers rushing to get some kind of estimate of just how many individuals are infected with COVID-19 but show no symptoms.
Nurses and doctors at Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center have begun offering a home assessment program for testing of minimally symptomatic individuals for COVID-19 infection.
The journal Nature reported on March 11 that an individual working on the international scientific project called MOSAiC (Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate) has contracted COVID-19.
Concerns over antibiotic resistance have pushed researchers to look for new agents that can stop the growth of, or kill microorganisms that cause illness.
A study published in “Nature” in February highlights the importance of research into the oral microbiome, and how regular dental care affects its diversity.
If you’ve ever wondered what your organs look like from the inside, researchers have figured out a way to see that. Researchers in Germany have found a way to see the inside of human organs without slicing the tissue to create their three dimensional models. That method is known as 3DISCO, or 3D Imaging of Solvent-Cleared Organs.
A powerful new antibiotic compound developed by MIT scientists destroyed many of the world’s disease-causing bacteria, including strains that have become resistant to antibiotics in common use. The computer model used to identify the compound, halicin, can also be used to identify other antibiotic candidates; it can screen more than a hundred million chemical compounds in a matter of days, MIT News reported in an article announcing the findings.
A 2019 Nobel prize winner, William G. Kaelin, started out looking at a condition that led to kidney cancer, but, instead, discovered a way to treat anemia.
A new center for innovation and manufacturing is planned for the the Boston, Massachusetts area to help patients who have not responded to traditional medicines.
