Iconic tower that looms over Manchester city centre set for a makeover 'to reduce risk of Covid'
One of Manchester’s original skyscrapers is set to undergo a makeover — in order to help reduce the risk of Covid-19 and improve its heating system.
The concrete walls were originally designed to resemble a circuit board, but now owners Schroders have secured planning permission to alter the external appearance of the tower. The changes will be made to the glass north-west and south-east sides of the building. Work can now begin on installing ‘additional glazed louvres’ from floor three to 27. The louvres have slats which allows fresh air to come into the building, which is used for offices.
“Additional ventilation will ensure that an acceptable level of air quality is provided for both current and future occupancy levels of the building,” she continued. “The improved ventilation also provides additional environmental and health benefits, such as reducing the risk of exposure to Covid-19 and providing an effective internal heating control system.”

Organ and cell-specific biomarkers of Long-COVID identified with targeted proteomics and machine learning - Molecular MedicineBackground Survivors of acute COVID-19 often suffer prolonged, diffuse symptoms post-infection, referred to as “Long-COVID”. A lack of Long-COVID biomarkers and pathophysiological mechanisms limits effective diagnosis, treatment and disease surveillance. We performed targeted proteomics and machine learning analyses to identify novel blood biomarkers of Long-COVID. Methods A case–control study comparing the expression of 2925 unique blood proteins in Long-COVID outpatients versus COVID-19 inpatients and healthy control subjects. Targeted proteomics was accomplished with proximity extension assays, and machine learning was used to identify the most important proteins for identifying Long-COVID patients. Organ system and cell type expression patterns were identified with Natural Language Processing (NLP) of the UniProt Knowledgebase. Results Machine learning analysis identified 119 relevant proteins for differentiating Long-COVID outpatients (Bonferonni corrected P | 0.01). Protein combinations were narrowed down to two optimal models, with nine and five proteins each, and with both having excellent sensitivity and specificity for Long-COVID status (AUC = 1.00, F1 = 1.00). NLP expression analysis highlighted the diffuse organ system involvement in Long-COVID, as well as the involved cell types, including leukocytes and platelets, as key components associated with Long-COVID. Conclusions Proteomic analysis of plasma from Long-COVID patients identified 119 highly relevant proteins and two optimal models with nine and five proteins, respectively. The identified proteins reflected widespread organ and cell type expression. Optimal protein models, as well as individual proteins, hold the potential for accurate diagnosis of Long-COVID and targeted therapeutics.
