A study has found that the virus that causes COVID-19 damages the genes of the mitochondria, the cell’s energy generators, causing dysfunction in organs other than the lungs that continues after the lungs have recovered, which may explain long COVID. Source of Article
Researchers have discovered the way that red blood cell particles interact with white blood cells called macrophages to reduce the formation of fatty deposits on arterial walls, offering a potential treatment for this common condition. Source of Article
After many years of delays, Virgin Galactic has carried its first tourist passengers to the edge of space, including British former Olympiad Jon Goodwin, and Keisha Schahaff and Anastatia Mayers, a mother and daughter from Antigua and Barbuda. Source of Article
Researchers have identified a new molecular pathway that stimulates injured brain cells to repair themselves after an ischemic stroke. The discovery may help limit or reverse the damage caused by the condition and promote recovery. Source of Article
While water lilies are perhaps most famous for starring in impressionist artist Claude Monet’s work, they may also have a molecular secret weapon that could help in our fight against deadly fungal infections, which are becoming increasingly worse. Source of Article
One day on Mars is about 37 minutes longer than an Earth day – but it seems both planets are working to fix the gap. Data from NASA’s InSight lander have revealed Martian days are getting ever so slightly shorter, and scientists aren’t sure why. Source of Article
Researchers have developed an injectable form of DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, that halts the progression of the arterial fatty plaques that can lead to heart attack and stroke. The novel treatment may one day be used to treat heart disease. Source of Article
Sleep apnea affects around 30 million Americans, but it can be incredibly difficult to treat, even more so given that devices used to alleviate it are given up on by nearly half of those diagnosed. Scientists are now proposing a different approach. Source of Article
Scientists have detected the first evidence of a phenomenon called “quantum superchemistry.” Long predicted but never confirmed, this effect could speed up chemical reactions, give scientists more control over them, and inform quantum computing. Source of Article
Researchers have developed an antibody that targets the opioid fentanyl and its derivatives, reversing overdose better than currently available treatments. The novel therapy could be a more effective way of treating life-threatening opioid overdoses. Source of Article
