Three years after WHO declared the COVID-19 pandemic, some patients are still reporting symptoms from long-ago infections. And the scientific community is studying the reasons for the post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). Until now, the studies provided varied reasons related to persistent COVID or PASC, such as acute SARS-CoV-2 injury in different organs, or reservoirs of the virus in certain tissues, as it happens with other pathogens like HIV. At the IDWeek 2022 infectious disease conference held this week in Washington, D.C., Eric Daar, chief of the Division of HIV Medicine at the Lundquist Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, moderated the session, 'COVID-19: Post-acute sequelae', where talks offered new results on the symptoms of people who have suffered prolonged COVID during the pandemic.
Bioage Labs Inc. has synthesized new NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes, hearing loss, Ménière's disease, tinnitus, vertigo and inflammatory disorders.
At first blush, to say that depression occurs with other diseases may seem like belaboring the obvious. After all, to put it in the bluntest possible terms, it’s sad to be sick. But by looking more closely, it soon becomes clear that the association is stronger than that. The strongest association between depression and other diseases, Stefan Gold told the audience at the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) annual conference in Vienna this week, is “not necessarily the most severe or most immediately life-threatening disorders… [it’s] across the spectrum."
T-cell activation and function depend on Ca2+ signals and Ca2+ influx after antigen binding to the T-cell receptor (TCR) is mediated by store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) through Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels in the plasma membrane.
Researchers from Ocean University of China, Qingdao National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology and affiliated organizations have reported the discovery of novel histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitors as potential anti-inflammatory agents.
Failure of integrin inhibitors in clinical trials can be avoided by redesigning the chemical conformation of these proteins, as shown by a study led by Timothy Springer, a professor in the Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at Boston Children's Hospital, and one of the winners of the 2022 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award.
Atopic dermatitis is the most common inflammatory skin disorder with a complex etiology. On the other hand, autophagy is an essential process by which cells break down undesired components to maintain their homeostasis.
Researchers from Guangzhou Medical University (GMU) described the discovery of a novel proteasome inhibitor NIC-0102, being developed as an anti-inflammatory therapeutic candidate.
