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.

The use of Caenorhabditis elegans has been introduced as a novel strategy for detecting cancer-associated scents during cancer screening. In a new study, researchers investigate the clinical value of this system as a detection method for early-stage pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

A new study by researchers at University College London suggests that an anti-viral gene, OAS1, might contribute to the observed association between Alzheimer's disease and COVID-19 risk.

A researcher has discovered a brain signal that will help improve the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders.

Researchers have discovered that the amount of cortisol in hair provides information about how much a person is burdened by persistent stress.

In order to study the effect of reduced exercise on metabolism and diet composition, researchers simulated in mice a sharp decline in physical activity by removing a voluntary running wheel, and assessed how diet composition affects the response.

Scientists have identified the mechanism that can lead to deafness in the rare syndrome, Norrie 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.

Researchers have developed a sensor that could diagnose a heart attack in less than 30 minutes, according to a study published in Lab on a Chip.

Researchers have mapped the biomarkers of different types of pain to categorise and better treat them in the future.
