Griffith University researchers reported promising Phase II results for STC3141, a carbohydrate-based drug tested in 180 sepsis patients in China. The therapy aims to reverse organ damage by dampening a harmful inflammatory surge, rather than just treating symptoms. Grand Pharma plans a Phase III trial, with potential market a few years away.
A Griffith University study using multimodal MRI compared Long COVID, recovered, and healthy controls (47 participants) and found lasting differences in brain tissue microstructure in regions tied to memory and coordination—brainstem, cerebellum, and white-matter tracts—persisting even in people who report full recovery, suggesting COVID-19 can leave invisible neurological footprints with potential long-term effects.
Researchers at Griffith University have identified that Gulf War Illness (GWI) in veterans is likely caused by defective transient receptor potential ion channels due to exposure to hazardous biological and chemical agents during the Gulf War. This discovery provides crucial scientific evidence linking GWI to war service, offering hope for new treatments and validation for affected veterans.
