Is ‘Microdosing’ Ozempic Safe?
Another problem with microdosing from vials is that the patients may reuse needles, which can pose a risk of infection or contamination, said Mansoor Amiji, PhD, RPh, a professor of chemical engineering and pharmaceutical sciences at Northeastern University.
Scientists finally know why people get more colds and flu in winter

Scientists find new way to prevent the common cold
The samples were divided and cultured in Amiji’s Northeastern lab at the normal body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius as well as at 32 degrees Celsius, which is the plummeting temperature of the nasal pathway when people are outdoors in cold weather.

Why Do You Get Sick in the Winter? Blame Your Nose
This precious mucus contains tiny extracellular vesicles—nano-sized lipid spheres—that may be critical to combating viruses like those that cause the common cold. In work recently published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Bleier, along with Mansoor Amiji, a chemist at Northeastern University, determined that during viral infection, cells in the nose release a […]

Scientists discover why colds are more common in winter
A 2018 study led by Dr Bleier and Prof Mansoor Amiji, a specialist in pharmaceutical sciences at Northeastern University, uncovered an innate immune response triggered when bacteria is inhaled through the nose.

Cold temperatures could make our respiratory systems more vulnerable to infection
“We’ve uncovered a new immune mechanism in the nose that is constantly being bombarded, and have shown what compromises this protection,” said Mansoor M. Amiji, a professor of pharmaceutical sciences at Northeastern University and co-author, in a statement.
