Cholesterol-lowering drugs do not promote infection with the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. This is the conclusion of a team of researchers from TWINCORE - Center for Experimental and Clinical Infection Research and the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover Foundation, led by Prof Gisa Gerold, together with colleagues from the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig and Umea University in Sweden. The scientists have studied several lipid-lowering agents from the group of statins in a cell culture model. They have now published their results in the journal iScience. The TWINCORE-Centre for Experimental and Clinical Infection Research is a joint institution of the Hannover MEdical School (MHH) and the HZI.

Salmonellen
News
Salmonella enterica, a foodborne pathogen, is one of four key global causes of diarrheal diseases, which affect over 550 million people each year. This rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium has tubular, whip-like appendages known as flagella that protrude from its surface. Researchers from the Centre for Structural Systems Biology (CSSB) in collaboration with researchers at Research Center Borstel FZB, as well as Max Plank Institute for Infection Biology, the University of Marburg and the Technische Universität Braunschweig studied biochemical and biophysical properties of these bacterial structures. Their study was recently published in PLoS Pathogens. The CSSB is a common initiative by ten northern German research institutions, including the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig.
