Researchers have revealed that auto-antibodies block interferon signalling, contributing to severe Covid-19 by impairing the patient’s immune response. Scientists have found that some people who suffered from Covid-19 had auto-antibodies targeting their own type 1 interferons, which are important immune signalling proteins. Factors such as age and underlying medical conditions can increase vulnerability to severe Covid-19.

UK researchers have designed a new genetic therapy that could alleviate debilitating giant moles in a rare skin condition. The treatment could be used to reverse moles, and therefore prevent cancer. It could also potentially reverse other types of at-risk moles as an alternative to surgery. In congenital melanocytic naevus syndrome (CMN), children are born with up to 80% of their body covered in big, painful or itchy moles.

Iron meteorites are remnants of the metallic cores of the earliest asteroids in our solar system. Iron meteorites contain refractory metals, such as iridium and platinum, that formed near the sun but were transported to the outer solar system. New research shows that for this to have happened, the protoplanetary disk of our solar system had to have been doughnut-shaped because the refractory metals could not have crossed the large gaps in a target-shaped disk of concentric rings.

Supermassive black holes pose unanswered questions for astronomers around the world, not least 'How do they grow so big?' Now, an international team of astronomers has discovered a powerful rotating, magnetic wind that they believe is helping a galaxy's central supermassive black hole to grow. The swirling wind, revealed with the help of the ALMA telescope in nearby galaxy ESO320-G030, suggests that similar processes are involved both in black hole growth and the birth of stars.

Early-stage biotechs are focused on survival until wet lab and/or animal data is generated that excites investors. Many biotech CEOs and CSOs are asking, often sceptically, whether computational methods (dry lab) can help them gain the required data faster and more cheaply. Algorithms could substitute for parts of the wet lab workflows, helping to reduce the number of experiments conducted by contract research organisations (CROs), by qualifying and prioritising them.
