HIV affects polyamine metabolism and T cell lineages
How HIV induces alterations in polyamine metabolism and could affect T cells and their functions in the oral mucosa of HIV-infected individuals.
Exosomes release: An additional back-up system in pathological cardiac remodeling?
Single-cell analysis of two heart failure mouse models leads us to investigate the role of exosomes during pathological hypertrophic remodeling.
Remdesivir improves biomarkers associated with disease severity in COVID-19 patients treated in an outpatient setting
Little is known about the impact of antiviral treatments on biomarkers of COVID-19 severity. Here, we measured biomarkers during the course of COVID-19 in high-risk non-hospitalized patients treated with or without the antiviral remdesivir.
Impact of the EURO2020 soccer championship on the spread of COVID-19
How can a large-scale, multinational social "experiment" — the UEFA European Soccer Championship 2020 — be used as a laboratory for assigning COVID-19 cases to short-term behavioural changes, and to understand how epidemiological conditions determine the impact of such changes?
Mendelian randomization can lead to flawed conclusions about the effects of vitamin C
A Mendelian randomization (MR) study concluded that vitamin C was not effective for pneumonia. We showed that the MR study corresponds to the comparison of two groups with similar vitamin C levels of 47.3 vs. 52.7 μM, whereas the plasma vitamin C level range in the population is from 10 to 100 μM.
