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 […] Article Everything to know about the common cold and how to treat symptoms “Our study is really focused on prevention, that initial exposure and how to enhance your defenses,” said lead author Mansoor Amiji, professor of pharmaceutical sciences at Northeastern University. Article Scientists finally know why people get more colds and flu in winter To understand why this occurs, Bleier and his team and coauthor Mansoor Amiji, who chairs the department of pharmaceutical sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, went on a scientific detective hunt. Article Euronews Why do we get sick in the winter? A scientific reason for common colds was right under our noses Mansoor Amiji, a pharmaceutical sciences professor at Boston’s Northeastern University, who co-led the latest study, expects the nose’s innate response to pathogens could be tested against a wide range of viruses. Article The National 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. Article Scientists finally know why people get more colds and flu in winter To understand why this occurs, Bleier and his team and coauthor Mansoor Amiji, who chairs the department of pharmaceutical sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, went on a scientific detective hunt. Article Popular Science 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. Article Why Do We Get More Colds In Winter? Scientists Have Discovered The Answer Researchers from Boston’s Mass Eye and Ear hospital and the Northeastern University have subsequently concluded there is a “biological root cause for the seasonal variation” in these viral infections seen every year – particularly throughout the Covid pandemic. Article France 24 Warmer noses are better at fighting colds: study These discoveries could pave the way for an eventual treatment against the common cold and other viruses, Mansoor Amiji, a pharmaceutical sciences professor at Northeastern University, who co-led the research, told AFP. Article Why You’re More Likely to Get Sick in the Winter, According to New Research In addition to helping explain long-observed trends about respiratory viruses spiking during cold months, the finding could eventually lead to new therapeutics, says study co-author Mansoor Amiji, chairman of the department of pharmaceutical sciences at Northeastern.
