  3. The #hepatitis C #virus, which is spread through contact w/infected blood & can lead to #deadly liver #cancer, is notoriously hard to identify. But if anyone could understand what was #happening in FL, it would be the Division of #ViralHepatitis in the #CDC's HQ.
    Using samples from the lab's collection of nearly 1M frozen specimens, scientists helped make the initial discovery of the #HepatitisC virus in the 1980s. In 2020, that #research was awarded the #NobelPrize in #Medicine.

  5. CW: Cost at $78. Price at $80,000

    Unlike many other drugs that treat viruses, Sovaldi does not suppress hepatitis C, a virus that kills roughly 250,000 people around the world each year. It cures it.

    “Normally you have a virus, and your body fights it off or your body fights it to a standstill and you just have it forever, basically, and hope it remains dormant more or less,” Laufer said. “The holy grail for every virologist is to find a way to drain the viral reservoir, and Sovaldi does this. You take one pill of Sovaldi a day for 12 weeks and then you don’t have hepatitis C anymore.”

    The problem is that those pills are under patent, and they cost $1,000 per pill.

    “Literally, if you have $84,000 then hepatitis C is not your problem anymore,” Laufer said. “But given that there are other methodologies for managing hepatitis C that are not curing it and that are cheaper, insurance typically will not cover [Sovaldi]. And so we’ve got this incredible technology and it’s sitting on the shelf except for people who are ridiculously wealthy.”

    So Four Thieves Vinegar Collective set out to teach people how to make their own version of Sovaldi. Chemists at the collective thought the DIY version would cost about $300 for the entire course of medication, or about $3.57 per pill. But they were wrong.

    “It’s actually just a little under $70 (83 cents per pill), which just kind of blew my mind when they finally showed me the results,” Laufer said. “I was like, can we do the math here again?”

  7. #KINutzen

    Ein Forscherteam hat mithilfe von Künstlicher Intelligenz die #Proteinstrukturen der #Flaviviridae-#Virenfamilie untersucht, zu der u.a. #HepatitisC, #Zika und #Dengue gehören. Dadurch wurden neue Glykoproteine entdeckt, die entscheidend für das Eindringen der #Viren in #Wirtszellen sind. Besonders bei Hepatitis C wurden neue #Eintrittsmechanismen entschlüsselt, was die Entwicklung von Impfstoffen erleichtern könnte.

  23. These 3 Infections Can Now Be Detected With One Drop of Blood

    From the article - "Research presented at this year’s European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases in Denmark showed that a single drop of blood can now detect HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C."

  24. A #NewStudy has identified gaps in the testing & treatment of #hepatitisC among #FirstNations #communities in #Ontario - highlighting where to direct efforts to eliminate the #ViralInfection that can cause serious #liver damage.
    The study, published in the #CMAJ on Tuesday, provides clarity about the extent to which First Nations communities in the province are affected by hepatitis C & informs further steps that are needed to address high rates of infection.
