Some developments in Bat-land – possible anti-inflammatory treatments possessed (sic) by bats
Hot on the heels of
(which could have included this reference piece:
And this
Which kind of tried to conflate “bat-cave - lab - leak - bat caves - bat soup” from completely engineered in a lab - intentional release.
Kind of makes you wonder if there wasn’t a delivery of and simultaneous leak from all BSL 3 and BSL 4 labs globally to start the illusion of a pandemic - by a SPECTRE/James Bond organisation run by Dr E (for Evil) Schwab!
Anyway! We how have this:
Learning from bats to fight inflammation in humans | Duke-NUS
“SINGAPORE, 12 May 2023 – By studying the unusual ability of bats to host viruses without significant illness, scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have discovered a protein that could unlock new strategies for fighting inflammatory diseases in humans.”
Bats make up around a fifth of all mammalian species. If they don’t watch out they will fall foul of WEF statements to “let them eat cockroaches” or maybe “let them eat rats”, maybe it won’t be so bad if you can make soup with lots of spices.
“Professor Wang Lin-Fa, from Duke-NUS’ Emerging Infectious Diseases Programme said “.. this unique ability to host yet survive viral infections could also have a very positive impact on human health if we can understand and exploit how they achieve this.”
“Where’s the beef?” you might ask. Well not much so far, other than this:
“The Duke-NUS team discovered that a bat protein called ASC2 has a powerful ability to inhibit inflammasomes, thereby limiting inflammation.”
“This suggests that the high-level activity of ASC2 is a key mechanism by which bats keep inflammation under control, with implications for their long lifespan and unique status as a reservoir for viruses,” explained Dr Matae Ahn, an Adjunct Research Fellow with the EID Programme and the SingHealth Duke-NUS Medicine Academic Clinical Programme.”
So, there you have it. We have heard about ACE-2 receptors for the longest time. Now we have ASC2 .
Here’s some related background reading from October 2006:
“Pyrin domain (PYD)-containing proteins are key components of pathways that regulate inflammation, apoptosis, and cytokine processing. Their importance is further evidenced by the consequences of mutations in these proteins that give rise to autoimmune and hyperinflammatory syndromes.”
Onwards!
