Easily-detected biomarker predicts clinical progression of COVID-19, respiratory outcomes
Researchers at the University of Rome Tor Vergata have demonstrated for the first time an elevated expression of the HERV-W ENV protein in the blood cells of COVID-19 patients, particularly in T-lymphocytes, important cells of the immune response against viruses and bacteria. In COVID-19 patients, the protein was correlated to inflammation and alteration of the activation and exhaustion of the immune response.
Older adults most likely to make the effort to help others: study
Older adults are more willing to make an effort to help others than younger adults, according to new research from the University of Birmingham.
Sweat sensor could alert doctors, patients to looming COVID cytokine storm
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors recognized that patients who developed a "cytokine storm"—a surge of pro-inflammatory immune proteins—were often the sickest and at highest risk of dying. But a cytokine storm can also occur in other illnesses, such as influenza. Today, scientists report preliminary results on a sweat sensor that acts as an early warning system for an impending cytokine storm, which could help doctors more effectively treat patients.
Communication researcher shows freewill is key to combat online extremism
Douglas Wilbur '14, a visiting Ph.D. scholar in the Department of Communication at UTSA, has published a study that shows how researchers can craft message campaigns to protect individuals from adopting extremist views.
Vitamin D deficiency may impair muscle function
Vitamin D deficiency may impair muscle function due to a reduction in energy production in the muscles, according to a mouse study published in the Journal of Endocrinology. Vitamin D deficient mice were found to have impaired muscle mitochondrial function, which may have implications for muscle function, performance and recovery. This may suggest that preventing vitamin D deficiency in older adults could help maintain better muscle strength and function and reduce age related muscle deterioration, but further studies are needed to confirm this.
