Self-sterilizing polymers are effective at inactivating SARS-CoV-2 virus
Researchers from North Carolina State University, Boston University, and Kraton Corporation have demonstrated a family of self-sterilizing polymers that are effective at inactivating coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2 - the virus that causes COVID-19.
The work opens the door to a suite of applications that could help to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and other diseases. Our work here provides conclusive evidence that these materials, anionic polymers, can inactivate human coronaviruses quickly and efficiently, says Richard Spontak, co-author of a paper on the work accepted for publication in
Advanced Science. Spontak is a Distinguished Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and a professor of materials science and engineering at North Carolina State University.
Major antioxidant in green tea may increase levels of natural anti-cancer protein
An antioxidant found in green tea may increase levels of p53, a natural anti-cancer protein, known as the guardian of the genome for its ability to repair DNA damage or destroy cancerous cells. Published today in
Nature Communications, a study of the direct interaction between p53 and the green tea compound, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), points to a new target for cancer drug discovery.
Both p53 and EGCG molecules are extremely interesting. Mutations in p53 are found in over 50% of human cancer, while EGCG is the major anti-oxidant in green tea, a popular beverage worldwide. Now we find that there is a previously unknown, direct interaction between the two, which points to a new path for developing anti-cancer drugs. Our work helps to explain how EGCG is able to boost p53 s anti-cancer activity, opening the door to developing drugs with EGCG-like compounds.
