Curcumin spray shows promise in fighting SARS-CoV-2 and flu viruses

A team of scientists from Thailand has developed a curcumin-containing oro-nasal film spray, which shows potential antiviral activity and mucosal immunity-boosting activity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza viruses. The study is published in the Virology Journal. Study: A novel film spray containing curcumin inhibits SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus infection and […]

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 […]

How is next-generation protein sequencing democratizing protein sequencing?

What challenges do researchers usually encounter with conventional proteomic methods? The proteomics field is highly complex, spanning initial biological samples to comprehensive analysis. An overarching theme repeatedly emphasized by researchers revolves around the absence of a universal solution for this entire process. Rather, each phase demands meticulous harmonization. Researchers often find themselves at a crossroads. They must […]

Arming phages with heterologous effectors paves the way for successful UTI treatment

Recently, bacteriocins, synthetic antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteriophages (phages), are being developed as precision antimicrobials. This antimicrobial agent targets specific cell wall hydrolases, such as phage-derived endolysins, for their particular function. A recent Nature Communications study demonstrated how phage can be engineered to produce bacteriocins and cell wall hydrolases as antimicrobial effector genes. Therefore, an […]
