Omicron variant inefficient in causing diseases than other COVID-19 variants, study reveals

Scientists from the Department of Microbiology at the University of Hong Kong (HK) have found that the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 replicates less efficiently and causes fewer diseases than other variants of COVID19.

Culturing marine sponge cells in 3D could scale-up production of biomass, bioactive metabolites

There are more than 9,000 species of marine sponges (Phylum Porifera) worldwide, which are a source of novel natural products.

Omicron variant found to be less effective at blocking cellular defense mechanism against viruses

A new study by researchers from the University of Kent and the Goethe University Frankfurt shows that the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant is less effective than Delta at blocking a cellular defense mechanism against viruses, the so-called “interferon response”.

COVID-19 vaccines prompt the body to make long-lasting T cells against different variants

Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have found that four COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, J&J/Janssen, and Novavax) prompt the body to make effective, long-lasting T cells against SARS-CoV-2.

Late-life exercise may alleviate epigenetic aging in skeletal muscle

For people who hate exercising, here comes some more bad news: it may also keep you younger. Not just looking younger, but actually younger, on an epigenetic level.

Study provides insight into replication and transcription machinery of ranaviruses

Nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) of the genus Ranavirus (family iridoviridae) have been isolated from aquatic species such as reptiles, amphibians, and bony fish. Poikilotherms are at risk from these promiscuous infections.

Researchers develop a three-dimensional, fully dynamic kinetic model of a living minimal cell

Scientists report that they have built a living "minimal cell" with a genome stripped down to its barest essentials – and a computer model of the cell that mirrors its behavior.

High-speed cell sorter rapidly isolates and quantifies cells with complex cellular phenotypes

Isolating individual cells with complex phenotypes – which is key to understanding how these cells function, including to inform disease – is a technological challenge. Now, overcoming this hurdle, researchers present a high-speed cell sorter that uses fluorescence imaging to enable genome-scale studies of complex phenotypes.
