Read how Study Sheds Light Into Alzheimer's Disease Pathogenesis
BigField GEG Tech's insight:
A team led by Christian Haass has identified a novel peptide that plays a role in Alzheimer's disease: The previously overlooked eta-amyloid interferes with neuronal function and may antogonize beta-amyloid – a finding that has implications for ongoing clinical trials.

BigField GEG Tech's insight:
Nature often produces a whole weaponry of active ingredients to ensure it is well prepared for any scenario that might occur. The research group led by Professor Helge Bode has now discovered a whole class of new peptides with which bacteria are able to kill insect larvae.

A team of French researchers has come up with an anti-Covid solution which is an alternative to a vaccination and which could be ready for use in the form of a nasal spray. They have created a peptide, made up of natural amino acids which lures the virus to it by mimicking the ACE2 lock, and so prevents it from entering into human cells. They have tested it on pulmonary cells and found it has worked without any toxic reaction to humans. These first-in-class blocking peptide mimics represent powerful tools that might be used in prophylactic and therapeutic approaches to fight the coronavirus disease 2019.
