Penn Medicine receives $12.3 million NIH grant to study FLASH radiotherapy for cancer

With more than $12 million in new funding from the National Institutes of Health, the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania will build on its preclinical research of an emerging form of radiation that provides ultra-fast doses - of under a second, compared to several minutes with conventional radiation - and shows promise of greater protection of normal tissue, thereby minimizing toxic effects to the body.

Mechanisms leading to Parkinson's disease following SARS-CoV-2 infection

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers demonstrated the impact of an amyloidogenic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) protein fragment named SFYVYSRVK (SK9) on the α-synuclein (aS) monomers and fibrils, a potential risk factor for Parkinson's disease.

Experiences of racism in adolescence linked to higher risk of depressive symptoms in adulthood

Black women who frequently experience racism before age 20 are at higher risk of reporting depressive symptoms in adulthood than those who had fewer experiences of racism in early life, according to a study by the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health.

DNA biomarker test helps predict recurrence of HPV-driven oropharyngeal cancer after treatment

A large, multi-institutional study demonstrates that a blood test to detect circulating tumor DNA can accurately predict recurrence of HPV-driven oropharyngeal cancer following treatment.

Neanderthal gene makes people susceptible to COVID-19, but protects against HIV

A study recently published in the top-tier journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) shows how a specific gene flow from Neandertals can act as a double-edged sword by increasing the risk for the development of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and at the same time decreasing the risk for the infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Researchers show how the biological system can be steered with artificial organic neurons

For the first time, researchers demonstrate an artificial organic neuron, a nerve cell, that can be integrated with a living plant and an artificial organic synapse.

Subset of human auditory neurons responds to song

A new study indicates that not only does the human auditory cortex respond selectively to music compared to speech, but it is mediated by neuronal subpopulations that respond specifically to different types of music, including a subset for song.

SARS-CoV 2 Omicron prevalent in vaccine breakthrough cases in Bahia, Brazil

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers performed genomic monitoring to estimate the magnitude and range of the different severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern (VOCs) in SARS-CoV-2 reinfection cases among fully vaccinated individuals in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.

23 Feb 2022

Low risk of second allergic reaction after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination

In a recent investigation posted to the journal JAMA Internal Medicine,* researchers estimate the risk of a repeated allergic reaction to the second severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine dose in those with a history of allergic responses following the first dose by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis.
