More research is needed before any concrete conclusions can be drawn, but the experimental evidence suggests that vaccines might be a powerful weapon in the war against Alzheimers.Topics Health & Fitness News Emerging Tech Tech News Dyllan Furness Former Digital Trends Contributor twitter Email ...
For example, recent research has shown that C-peptide levels of above 0.2 nmol/l stimulated by very limited nrys-cell function may reduce the long-term complications associated with T1D. Furthermore, there is increasing evidence that C-peptide is a hormone with its own effects , and that ...
1,3,4 Currently, there are no licensed vaccines or specific anti-CCHFV drugs, making the treatment options for CCHFV infection limited.5 Due to its great risk to public health and insufficient countermeasures, CCHFV has been continuously listed for years by WHO as a priority pathogen in ...
she wanted to know if vaccines come from animal research. When assured that they do, she replied, "Then I would have to say yes." Asked what will happen when epidemics return, she said, "Don't worry, scientists will find some way of using computers." Such well-meaning people just don...
Professor Finn said: "Understanding how children build up immunity to pneumococcus will help the development of effective affordable vaccines for use where they are most needed." In the past, immunity to pneumococcus was thought to be due entirely to antibodies. This new research suggests that othe...
A new study has shown that non-cancerous cells positioned close to tumours can affect how cancer responds to treatment. The researchers say factoring in the effects of these cells could improve drug development and provide new insights into the most effective use of existing cancer medications. Th...
The vaccines, which can be preventative and therapeutic, showed positive results in models of psoriasis and cat allergy, and was demonstrated to raise antibody levels thought to be beneficial in Alzheimer's disease. "Our research shows that this technique works in mice and, importantly, our new ...
Vaccines and infection-acquired immunity reduce infection risk to close contacts through ‘indirect protection’. Here, the authors characterise the strength and durability of vaccine- and infection-acquired indirect protection against SARS-CoV-2 using surveillance data from residents of state prisons in ...
De novo design of protein minibinder agonists of TLR3 This study reports the computational design of miniprotein binders of the pattern recognition receptor TLR3. When oligomerized, the miniprotein binders induce TLR3 signaling in cells, suggesting they may be useful components of vaccines or treatme...
Traditionally, there have been two methods for creating vaccines to combat infectious disease. The first approach utilizes a live, yet weakened strain of the disease in question. This weakened strain is not strong enough to cause illness yet potent enough to activate the immune system so that it...
