According to the study, a gene found in some bats can cut the SARS-CoV-2 virus’s production by up to 90%, which may pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies to treat viral illnesses.

Humans and pigs can contract the virus, which fruit bats carry. Additionally, it can spread directly from person to person by coughing droplets and contaminated food.
HIV-1, like other viruses, lacks the equipment to generate its own proteins and must rely on the host cell to translate its genetic instructions.
Although it is unknown if the current strains of the bovine (cow) H5N1 virus may spread to humans.
In the large intestine (colon), where good bacteria often prevent it from growing, the imbalance provides Salmonella with the resources it needs to live and thrive.
The mix of microorganisms in the stomach can affect the symptoms of hypopituitarism in mice, according to research from the Francis Crick Institute. Additionally, they demonstrated that aspirin might alleviate the symptoms of hormone insufficiency in these animals. The condition known as hypopituitarism, in which the pituitary gland produces insufficient […]
When penicillin was discovered, it was heralded as “the silver bullet” because of its extraordinary ability to eradicate germs that cause illness without endangering humans. Since then, several other antibiotics have been created that target a variety of bacteria; however, the more frequently these antibiotics are used, the higher the […]
It is like the communication network that genes have among them to affect one another.
Here the investigators infected mice with SARS-CoV-2 and sequenced the genomes of viruses replicating in the brain versus the lung. In the lung, spike protein had a very close structure to the infecting virus.
The results underline the necessity for widespread surveillance as well as the discovery of new SARS-CoV-2 mutations in animals.
