A New Technique To Enhance Anti-Stroke Protein Neurolysin
Ischemic stroke, the second leading cause of death worldwide, occurs when a vessel to the brain is blocked, reducing blood flow to the brain and depriving it of critical supplies of oxygen and nutrients. New research has aimed to develop an effective treatment for stroke that focuses on the use of a peptidase known as neurolysin (Nln).

New Metabolic Biomarker for Severe COVID-19
Researchers at Karolinska Institute have identified some metabolic processes that SARS-CoV-2 uses to attack lung tissue. The results could one day be used to treat COVID-19, and potentially for other viruses like the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus and HIV-1.

Blood Biomarker Could Help To Detect Peripheral Artery Disease
Researchers have shown that high levels of a specific protein circulating in the blood accurately detect a severe type of peripheral artery disease that narrows the arteries in the legs and can raise the risk of heart attack and stroke.
