Similar brain responses to speech sounds found in humans, macaques and guinea pigs

Speech sounds elicit comparable neural responses and stimulate the same region in the brain of humans, macaques and guinea pigs, a multidisciplinary group of University of Pittsburgh researchers reported in the journal eNeuro today.

Human lung airway-on-a-chip faithfully recapitulates cystic fibrosis pathology

The inherited progressive disorder cystic fibrosis (CF) causes severe damage to the lungs, and other tissues in the body by affecting the cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices.

Brain stimulation can modulate thought processes related to problem solving

New methods of brain stimulation are being tested to see whether they can be used to enhance cognitive behavior. In this study, researchers from Japan have found that stimulation at specific frequencies can modulate thought processes related to problem solving.

High prevalence of germline variants in Japanese patients with pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma

Certain kinds of tumors can be inherited within families. Identifying the underlying genetic cause is important in treatment, but most studies on these tumors have been carried out on Caucasian populations.

Severe COVID-19 patients have significantly higher NK and T cell frequency

A new study published in the open-access journal Cells aimed to clarify the role of NK and T cell subsets in SARS-CoV-2 infection in hospitalized COVID-19 patients to unravel their potential association with disease severity.

New study highlights the important role of rare genomic differences in OCD risk

Both rare and commonly observed differences in the DNA letters strung along a person's chromosomes can explain about a third of the risk for being diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), according to a new study led by scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Extreme heat associated with greater risk of adverse cardiovascular incidents

A consequence of global warming is a greater frequency and intensity of extreme heat events. This extreme heat is associated with a greater risk of adverse cardiovascular incidents, especially for adults with pre-existing cardiovascular diseases.

REGEN-COV is effective in preventing severe COVID-19 in immunocompromised individuals

A recent study assesses the efficacy of repeat doses of REGEN-COV in SARS-CoV-2-negative adults who were healthy or had chronic medical conditions.

How eye protection affects SARS-CoV-2 transmission

Researchers recently conducted a systematic review on the impact of eye protection on the transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

Study finds no strong evidence that COVID-19 vaccination is linked to menstrual changes

A new study reports on the incidence of changes in menstruation in women who have received the COVID-19 vaccine.

SARS-CoV-2 reinfection associated with housing instability

Researchers examine the impact of demographic factors and antibody responses following SARS-CoV-2 reinfection.

Air filtration device removes almost all traces of airborne SARS-CoV-2

When a team of doctors, scientists and engineers at Addenbrooke's Hospital and the University of Cambridge placed an air filtration machine in COVID-19 wards, they found that it removed almost all traces of airborne SARS-CoV-2.

Study: Covid-19 vaccine-elicited immune cells persist six months after vaccination

A recent study by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers provides evidence that CD4+ T lymphocytes — immune system cells also known as helper T cells — produced by people who received either of the two available messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines for COVID-19 persist six months after vaccination at only slightly reduced levels from two weeks after vaccination and are at significantly higher levels than for those who are unvaccinated.

Spread of COVID-19 and effectiveness of contact tracing in a university population

Researchers from the University of Bristol were able to investigate how social behaviors of a university population changed with social restrictions and then the effectiveness of contact tracing in such a setting.

Diagnostic sensitivity, viral load and infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 in paired respiratory and oral samples

To understand the viral load in different sections of infected individuals, their respective shedding patterns, and the sensitivity of the SARS-CoV-2 assays, researchers published a study.

Deficient spike-specific T cell responses and inability to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 variants 12 month post-infection

Researchers conducted a comprehensive, longitudinal, long-term immune study, including functional assays to assess immune fitness against antigenically different VoC. The study is currently available on the preprint server medRxiv* while awaiting peer review.
