HarvardStudy finds severe COVID-19 is associated with molecular signs of brain aging. The study identified gene expression changes in the brains of deceased COVID patients that resemble what is seen in old age. The researchers warn potential long-term neurological problems could emerge in the years following the pandemic.See the Story

Europe · BristolBlood that has been grown in a laboratory has been put into people in a world-first clinical trial, UK researchers say. Tiny amounts - equivalent to a couple of spoonfuls - are being tested to see how it performs inside the body. Further trials are needed before clinical use, but scientists say the research marks a big step in improving treatment for patients with rare blood types or complex transfusion needs.See the Story

Research · DurhamThe early stages of the virus–cell interaction have long evaded observation by existing microscopy methods due to the rapid diffusion of virions in the extracellular space and the large three-dimensional cellular structures involved. Here we present an active-feedback single-particle tracking method with simultaneous volumetric imaging of the live cell environment called 3D-TrIm to address this knowledge gap. 3D-TrIm captures the extracellular p…See the Story

Aircraft · LondonUK company Vertical Aerospace has celebrated the first flight of its full-scale VX4 eVTOL air taxi prototype. The five-seat design uses a tilting bank of five-blade props at the front, and a bank of scissor-stowing 4-blade propellers at the back. VA claims it's already taken a whopping 1,400 conditional pre-orders from a range of airlines, tourism groups and other operators.See the Story

AutismResearchers searched existing drugs, looking for potential treatments for the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. The most promising one they found is called loperamide, better known by the brand name Imodium, which is commonly used for diarrhea. Study is the first to use protein interaction networks to study whether existing drugs could treat autism, finding potential in a common antidiarrheal drug.See the Story
