Continuous noninvasive blood pressure monitoring using resonance sonomanometry

In a recent study published in the PNAS Nexus, researchers introduced and validated resonance sonomanometry (RSM) for noninvasive, calibration-free continuous blood pressure (BP) measurement using ultrasound imaging. Study: Resonance sonomanometry for noninvasive, continuous monitoring of blood pressure. Image Credit: Vita_Dor/Shutterstock.com Background  BP is essential for assessing patient health, with continuous, noninvasive measurement being highly desirable. While invasive […]

Research may pave the way for systemic targeted therapy for patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei

Published in Clinical Cancer Research, results of a preclinical study led by investigators of the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology’s (VHIO) Stem Cells and Cancer Group, headed by Héctor G. Palmer, pave the way for systemic targeted therapy in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei, a rare form of cancer with very few therapeutic options available. This […]

Novel bispecific antibodies show promise against evolving SARS-CoV-2 variants

In a recent research paper uploaded to the bioRxiv preprint* server, researchers developed and tested novel bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) comprising both the N-terminal domain (NTD) and the receptor binding domain (RBD) for their efficacy against emergent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern (VOCs). These antibodies were synthesized using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) […]

COVID-19 booster enhances virus neutralizing antibodies in breast milk, new study reveals

In a recent study published in Frontiers, researchers investigated the transmission- and immunoglobulin G (IgG) viral neutralization potential of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) booster vaccine products (antibodies) passed from mother to offspring through breastmilk. They evaluated the IgG concentrations of milk, plasma, and stool samples from 24 infants and 34 vaccinated mothers, 14 of whom […]

Study links ultra-processed foods to gut health risks

In a recent review published in the journal Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology, researchers synthesized the current knowledge on how food additives and ultra-processed foods (UPFs) affect gut health. As UPFs and food additives become more common in diets worldwide, they have been implicated in adverse gut outcomes like alterations to microbial communities and intestinal […]

Drug repurposing study finds lonafarnib effective against RSV

In a study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers screened ReFRAME (short for repurposing, focused rescue, and accelerated Medchem), a drug-repurposing library, for drugs against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). They identified lonafarnib as a potent inhibitor of RSV fusion protein and investigated its therapeutic potential against an RSV infection. Study: Drug repurposing screen identifies […]

Sweetener ‘Stevia’ does not alter gut microbiota composition, confirms new study

In a recent study published in Nutrients, researchers investigated the impact of 12 weeks of regular consumption of stevia, non-nutritive sweeteners (NNSs), on the human gut microbiota composition, diversity, and community structure in healthy, normal-weight adults. Study: Consumption of the Non-Nutritive Sweetener Stevia for 12 Weeks Does Not Alter the Composition of the Human Gut Microbiota. Image […]

Exploring the effects of N1-methylpseudouridine in mRNA translation

In a recent study published in Nature, a group of researchers explored how the incorporation of N1-methylpseudouridine (1-methylΨ) into messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs) affects ribosomal frameshifting and the overall fidelity of mRNA translation. Study: N1-methylpseudouridylation of mRNA causes +1 ribosomal frameshifting. Image Credit: MattL_Images/Shutterstock.comBackground  Therapeutic in vitro-transcribed (IVT) mRNAs, like those in COVID-19 vaccines, often […]
