Blood factors transfer beneficial effects of exercise on neurogenesis and cognition to the aged brain

ByThe Short Paper

Article

In this study, they found taking a specific enzyme produced after exercise from one mouse and placing it in another mouse was effective. The enzyme was glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-specific phospholipase D1 (Gpld1), a GPI-degrading enzyme and acts to improve age related brain degeneration and cognitive impairments.

TL;DR Specific enzymes produced from exercise can be transferred from one organism to another to reduce brain age degeneration and improve cognition

Deciphering Bacterial Proteins in Infections

ByThe Short Paper

Bacterial pathogens deliver water- and solute-permeable channels to plant cells Many harmful bacteria that infect animals and plants use a special system to release proteins into their host cells. Understanding how these proteins work in host cells is vital for studying diseases in animals and plants. Researchers have been trying to figure out how a…

Potently neutralizing and protective human antibodies against SARS-CoV-2

ByThe Short Paper

Article The study looked at COVID-19 antigens, specifically the ones related to a “spike” antigen that interacts with ACE2 and helps to infect people. The antibodies specifically were made to prevent interaction of the spike and ACE2. The antibodies were  COV2-2196 and COV2-2130. They were found to act in a synergistic manner with one another. In…

Cardiopulmonary fitness but not muscular fitness associated with visceral adipose tissue mass
