In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers evaluated sex-based differences among cytokine and chemokine networks in the hippocampus after systemic immunological challenge. Study: Sex differences in hippocampal cytokine networks after systemic immune challenge. Image Credit: Juan…
In a recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, researchers in Italy reported cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) findings in individuals with myocarditis-like syndrome during the acute phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection (AMCovS) and post-acute phase (cPACS). Study: Cardiac magnetic…
Clinical presentation following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ranges from mild self-limiting illness to severe respiratory failure. Many studies have analyzed the early acute phases of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19), but few focused on the longer-term sequelae following infection.…
With the spread of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) around the world, more and more variants emerged, mainly after vaccines were introduced. The Omicron variant rapidly developed several subvariants and jumped to dominance, dislodging the preceding Delta variant from that position.…
In two separate studies, researchers demonstrate how synthetic biology can be used to tackle a difficult issue in cancer immunotherapy: the way immunotherapy-related approaches focused on short-term killing of tumor cells may fail to eradicate tumors because growth of tumors…
An inflammatory molecule called LIGHT, appears to be the cause of life-threatening airway damage in patients with severe asthma. According to the new research from scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI), therapeutics to stop LIGHT (which is related…
In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers used ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequence data to understand the association between inflammatory cytokines and poor outcomes of pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia (pAML). Study: Inflammatory bone marrow signaling in pediatric acute myeloid…
In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers evaluated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) exposure among rats inhabiting New York City (NYC) during the fall of 2021. Study: SARS-CoV-2 exposure in Norwegian rats (Rattus norvegicus)…
The Mediterranean diet (MD), which residents of the Mediterranean region typically follow, has been praised for its rich anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory content. However, the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which has since claimed over 6.6 million lives,…
A recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server reported that helminth exposure enhances viral clearance and survival of mice challenged with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Study: Helminth exposure protects against murine SARS-CoV-2 infection through macrophage dependent T…
