The primary method to diagnose severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is molecular testing of respiratory samples by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The results of this SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR are generally reported qualitatively (positive or negative). However, the quantitative test result (cycle threshold (Ct) or crossing point (Cp)) is directly related to the viral load. This viral load may […]

A recent study, published in the preprint server, medRxiv*, analyzes real-world data using artificial intelligence to provide insights into using ondansetron, an antiemetic agent, among severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) positive patients. Study: Ondansetron use is associated with lower COVID-19 mortality in a Real-World Data network-based analysis.

Structural differences in the area of the brain responsible for decision making could explain why two siblings living in the same family might differ in their risk of developing the condition conduct disorder. Psychologists and neuroscientists have long puzzled over why siblings with seemingly the same upbringing and genetic makeup might differ so significantly in terms of their behavioral: how […]

Looking for ways to image the human brain for the earliest signs of aging and cognitive decline, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers recently identified a pattern that links the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) proteins (associated with cognitive decline later in life) with a reduction of serotonin, the brain chemical that improves mood. The pattern—seen with a mathematical algorithm using data […]

Proteins are the molecular machines of all living cells and have been exploited for use in many applications, including therapeutics and industrial catalysts. To overcome the limitations of naturally occurring proteins, protein engineering is used to improve protein characteristics such as stability and functionality. In a new study, researchers demonstrate a machine learning algorithm that accelerates the protein engineering process. […]
