Researchers identify molecular signatures to predict efficacy of malaria vaccines

The acid test for a vaccine is: "Does it protect people from infection?" Emory Vaccine Center researchers have analyzed this issue for a leading malaria vaccine called RTS,S, and their results have identified candidate signatures, or biomarkers, in the blood of vaccinated subjects which predict the likelihood of success from vaccination.

Research sheds new light on how dengue virus inflicts more damage during subsequent infections

For most people who contract it, dengue fever is a relatively mild-mannered disease--at least the first time around. For some, however, a subsequent infection by the virus unleashes a vicious and potentially deadly illness.

Body cooling not more effective than therapeutic normothermia for treating in-hospital cardiac arrests in children

In a multicenter, international study of infants and children who suffered cardiac arrest while in the hospital, NIH-funded researchers have found that body cooling, or therapeutic hypothermia, is no more effective than actively keeping the body at a normal temperature, or therapeutic normothermia.

Socioeconomic factors in the U.S. make large-scale Zika outbreaks unlikely, new analysis suggests

Is the United States at risk for a large-scale outbreak of Zika or other mosquito-borne disease? While climate conditions in the U.S. are increasingly favorable to mosquitos, socioeconomic factors such as access to clean water and air conditioning make large-scale outbreaks unlikely, according to new analysis of existing research--but small-scale, localized outbreaks are an ongoing concern.
