Recent studies have shown that patients with weakened immune systems—which enables the virus that causes COVID-19 to remain longer in the body, copy itself, and continually change—may enable the development of new, slightly different versions of the virus (variants). These…
In a recent study published in Nature Medicine, researchers assessed the long-term neurological sequelae in the post-acute phase of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or long COVD. Study: Long-term neurologic outcomes of COVID-19. Image Credit: Starocean/Shutterstock Long COVID refers to the…
In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, a team of researchers demonstrated that the testicular injury in humans is not due to direct severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection but more likely is an indirect…
In a recent study published in Nature, researchers investigated the relationship between apolipoprotein E (APOE4) genotype and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes using genetic models of mice. Study: Common human genetic variants of APOE impact murine COVID-19 mortality. Image Credit:…
The findings of a new Swedish study posted to the Preprints with The Lancet* server found that two COVID-19 vaccine doses provided effective long-term protection against infection before Omicron, but less protection against Omicron infection (dropping to 43% by week four and…
Neutrophils, the most abundant type of white blood cell, are the body’s first line of defense against infection. Foreign pathogens can stress the body and activate neutrophils. When activated, neutrophils employ various weapons to protect the body. But if overactivated,…
Tiny nets woven from DNA strands can ensnare the spike protein of the virus that causes COVID-19, lighting up the virus for a fast-yet-sensitive diagnostic test – and also impeding the virus from infecting cells, opening a new possible route…
Mobile sensing has shown its power in the pervasive and effective monitoring of COVID-19 in varying population scales and time duration, according to a study published in Health Data Science, a Science Partner Journal. Behind this work are the researchers…
The effectiveness of the three-dose coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its variants has been described in detail in a recent study. The study report is currently available on the bioRxiv* preprint…
The day after his 8-month-old baby died, Kingsley Raspe opened the mail and found he had been sent to collections for her care. That notice involved a paltry sum, $26.50 — absurd really, given he’d previously been told he owed…
