University of Connecticut scientists have developed a drug to treat diabetes The research findings, published by the University of Connecticut in the journal Cell Metabolism, will help develop new treatments for various metabolic diseases. The scientific work is briefly described in a press release on MedicalXpress. The body is constantly renewing cells, but sometimes this mechanism fails. As a result, senescent or senescent cells accumulate in the tissues, which influence their environment by producing defective signaling molecules. As a result, surrounding cells may be less able to absorb nutrients such as sugar, causing a pre-diabetic state. Scientists have developed and tested combinations of experimental drugs: dasatinib and quercetin. Dasatinib and quercetin have already been shown to prolong lifespan and improve health in aged mice. According to the findings, these drugs can cope with senescent cells in human adipose tissue cultures. Adipose tissue cells were also injected into mice, in which

Such conclusions were made by researchers from the University of Leeds in a new report, writes The Guardian.

Virologist Agranovsky: vaccination with a large number of antibodies will not do harm with a high level of antibodies in a conversation with URA.RU. According to the virologist, a high level of antibodies is not a 100% guarantee of protection against the disease. “I would not measure antibodies, since the titer is only partly an indicator of your security,” he explained, adding that it is necessary to measure exclusively antibodies to the spike protein. At the same time, vaccination with a large number of antibodies will not do any harm. Agranovsky advised measuring protection by time from the moment of vaccination, the vaccination lasts from 6 to 9 months.

Virologist Nesterov: negative PCR cannot be considered a guarantee of recovery from COVID-19 Sergey Nesterov, virologist and doctor of biological sciences, told radio Sputnik the exact method that will help confirm complete recovery from COVID-19. According to Nesterov, a standard negative PCR test cannot be considered a guarantee of recovery from coronavirus. “The fact is that a PCR sample taken from the nasopharynx determines the presence of a virus in the nasopharynx. From there, as you know, the virus leaves quite quickly: it can end up in the lungs, in the blood, in the intestines, “the expert said. In his opinion, PCR should be taken twice with an interval of about three days. And when the PCR in the nasopharynx finally becomes negative, you can check the PCR in the blood. This will be an additional guarantee that there is no coronavirus in the body. Earlier, Elena Malinnikova, head of
