Capturing Sialyl-glycan on Live Cancer Cells by Tailored Boronopeptide.

Scientists used a boronic acid probe to enhance the binding ability of the WGA peptide to sialic acid. This improved binding could be used to profile sialyl-glycan on cancer cells, offering potential benefits over current methods.

Adhatoda vasica and Tinospora cordifolia extracts ameliorate clinical and molecular markers in mild COVID-19 patients: a randomized open-label three-armed study.

Scientists studied the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infections and found that while most cases are mild, a significant number of infected individuals develop severe respiratory illness. This highlights the need for a safe and effective treatment for COVID-19.
