Researchers identify a new target to fight infections caused by the opportunistic lung pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae — interference with the bacteria’s fermentation metabolism.
These effector memory B cells appear poised for a rapid serum antibody response upon secondary challenge one year later, and evidence shows that the cells in this subset differ from all previously described memory B cell subsets.
The grant validates the science of Alveolus Bio, and the funds will support development of first-of-its-kind inhaled biotherapeutics to treat chronic lung diseases.
The federal mandate, which was announced in 2011 and implemented in 2014, limited acetaminophen to 325 milligrams per opioid-acetaminophen combination pill. Acetaminophen is toxic to livers at high doses.
Mechanistic findings in this study may pave the way for future time-restricted feeding studies in muscle, providing a natural and affordable form of alternative therapy for managing pathologies related to metabolism and obesity.
Having a bacterial infection at the same time as COVID-19 is a greater risk factor for COVID-19 severity and mortality than previously described risk factors such as advanced age, male sex or various comorbidities.
The clinical trial focused on very young children, who have a more rapid loss of the pancreatic beta cells than do adolescents. The trial was constrained to a low-dose level, but showed safety and tolerability and reduced serum glucagon, a secondary outcome.
Basic research in bacteria has led Michael Niederweis and Moon Nahm to 17 U.S. patents and various new technologies with real impacts on the welfare of society.
ohn Kearney, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Microbiology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, has been named a 2023 Distinguished Fellow of the American Association of Immunologists.
Chronic pain often leads to depression, which increases suffering and is clinically difficult to treat. Understanding the underlying mechanism identifies a potential therapeutic target for treatment.
