Most prostate cancers rely on male sex hormones, known as androgens, to grow. As a result, standard treatment focuses on ...

A University of California, Riverside study suggests cells in the earliest stages of human development may be biologically susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection, particularly those destined to form the ...

The TMPRSS2:ERG gene fusion is a truncal oncogenic event in a large subset of prostate cancers, yet its clinical relevance has remained unclear. In this issue of the JCI, Köcher et al. have ...

A new study has found that certain bacteria living in the nose may influence how likely someone is to get a COVID-19 infection. The research reveals that certain types of nasal bacteria can affect the ...

Men have higher morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 than women, possibly due to androgen receptor-regulated viral entry protein expression. This led to a clinical trial of androgen deprivation ...

How exactly do Sars-Cov-2 particles enter host cells? An international team led by Dr Richard Brown from Dr Daniel Todt’s Computational Virology group at the Department of Molecular and Medical ...

Working with human stem cells that form a kind of "mini intestine-in-a-dish," Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found several molecular mechanisms for COVID-19-related diarrhea, ...

Current antiviral agents for COVID-19 treatment target viral proteins, which are susceptible to mutation during SARS-CoV-2 evolution. A potential strategy to fight emerging drug resistances is the ...

In a recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition, researchers explored the association between the expressions of angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) receptor and ...
