Medical Xpress / Autoantibodies implicated as drivers of long COVID in new study
A growing body of evidence suggests that long COVID (or post-COVID syndrome), a condition affecting more than 10% of people after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, may be driven by the immune system turning against the body. Now, new ...
Phys.org / Nanoparticles enable large-scale production of advanced cell therapies
Researchers from Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) in China have developed a streamlined process that makes it easier to produce tiny therapeutic particles released by cells, called exosomes, which are being explored ...
Phys.org / A solar system in the making? Two planets spotted forming in disk around young star
Astronomers have observed two planets forming in the disk around a young star named WISPIT 2. Having previously detected one planet, the team has now employed European Southern Observatory (ESO) telescopes to confirm the ...
Medical Xpress / Astrocyte NF-κB activation triggers harmful inflammation and poorer recovery after traumatic brain injury, finds study
A fall on the head, a blow to the skull, or a road traffic accident—the causes of traumatic brain injury are diverse, but the severe forms have a common denominator: immune reactions and inflammatory processes are added on ...
