DOPAMINE REDUCES SARS-COV-2 REPLICATION IN VITRO THROUGH DOWNREGULATION OF D2 RECEPTORS AND UPREGULATION OF TYPE-I INTERFERONS

Dopamine Reduces SARS-CoV-2 Replication In Vitro through Downregulation of D2 Receptors and Upregulation of Type-I Interferons

Recent evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 hinders immune responses via dopamine (DA)-related mechanisms.Nonetheless, studies addressing the specific role of DA in the frame of SARS-CoV-2 infection are still missing.In the present study, we investigate the role of DA in SARS-CoV-2 replication along with potential links with innate fg42 replica immune

Method for Zero-Waste Circular Economy Using Worms for Plastic Agriculture: Augmenting Polystyrene Consumption and Plant Growth

Polystyrene (PS) is one of the major plastics contributing to environmental pollution with its durability and resistance to natural biodegradation.Recent research showed that mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) and superworms (Zophobas morio) are naturally able to consume PS as a carbon food source and degrade them without observable toxic effects.In 1073
