Like Reductive stress promotes protein aggregation in neuroblastoma cells, impairs neurogenesisDecember 8, 2020 at 11:02 PM Cells require a balance among oxidation-reduction reactions, or redox homeostasis. Loss of that balance to create oxidative stress is often associated with neurodegeneration. Less is known about how loss of that balance at the other end of the spectrum -- reductive stress, or RS -- may affect neurons.Tags: Health 12 people like this. Like Researchers assess the binding behavior of SARS-CoV-2 virusDecember 8, 2020 at 10:51 PM The binding of a SARS-CoV-2 virus surface protein spike -- a projection from the spherical virus particle -- to the human cell surface protein ACE2 is the first step to infection that may lead to COVID-19 disease.Tags: Health 37 people like this. Like Amilorides reduce SARS-CoV-2 viral replication in vitroDecember 8, 2020 at 9:41 PM A new U.S. study published on the bioRxiv preprint server reports the use of an amiloride-based scaffold that targets a viral RNA structure known to be essential in viral replication in the 5’-untranslated region (UTR) of the virus. The researchers say this heralds the application of these molecules as chemical probes to explore viral biology and produce specific antivirals targeting RNA regions of the coronavirus genome.Tags: Health 33 people like this.
