Harnessing the genetics of hookworms to develop next generation of PPE for combat troops

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have received a grant to develop the next generation of personal protective equipment (PPE) for combat troops.

Researchers explore whether salivary glands infected with SARS-CoV-2 can diminish long-term immunity

University of Utah Health scientists are leading an effort to determine if salivary glands infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 could diminish a person’s long-term immunity to the disease after being immunized or after recovering from the illness.

Researchers decipher when and why T cells become non-responsive to immunotherapy

Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer in humans. Some patients with NSCLC receive a therapy called immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) that helps kill cancer cells by reinvigorating a subset of immune cells called T cells, which are "exhausted" and have stopped working.

Study: mRNA vaccines associated with more immunity than prior COVID-19 infection

A nationwide study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are associated with significantly more immunity than a prior COVID-19 infection.

NIH study identifies distinct mechanisms of long-term HIV control in two people after treatment disruption

Research led by scientists at the National Institutes of Health has identified two distinct ways that people with HIV can control the virus for an extended period after stopping antiretroviral therapy (ART) under medical supervision.

Study finds immunity against SARS-CoV-2 delta variant waned after BNT162b2 vaccine second dose

Researchers from Israel have investigated the possibility that vaccine-induced immunity reduces over time and potential causes and risk factors.

Study uncovers unknown effects of COVID-19 virus on the immune system

COVID-19 reduces the numbers and functional competence of certain types of immune cells in the blood, say LMU researchers. This could affect responses to secondary infections.

Breakthrough COVID infections in Northeast Italy showing waning vaccine protection

Researchers analyze an outbreak of breakthrough infections in a small nursing home in Northerneastern Italy.

Importance of boosters after priming with J&J Ad26.COV2.S COVID-19 vaccine

A new study compares healthcare workers who underwent homologous Ad26.COV2.S booster vaccination to those who underwent heterologous boosting.

'Theta activity' in the brain found to be divergent for people with mental health conditions

A new review of current literature, conducted by the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King's College London, has found that irregular responses in the brain to challenging tasks and mistakes could be key to understanding common links between abnormal behaviors in a range of mental illness and cognitive disorders.

Third dose of Covid-19 vaccine benefits dialysis patients

In some patients, the immune system responds poorly to the second vaccination dose. This changes with the third shot.

Study offers hope for a new therapeutic option for patients with severe asthma

A new monoclonal antibody therapy shows promise in offering an alternative treatment for patients suffering from moderate-to-severe asthma. Research led by Michael E. Wechsler, MD, MMSc, director of the National Jewish Health Cohen Family Asthma Institute, found that itepekimab was safe and effective in a phase 2 trial published online today in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Study suggests third dose of the Pfizer vaccine could reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission

A new study examined protection against symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from non-Delta variants using data from randomized control trials.

Study finds one mRNA vaccine dose after SARS-CoV-2 infection produces highest neutralizing antibody titers

Researchers investigated the neutralizing antibody response that different mRNA vaccines induce in both previously convalescent and SARS-CoV-2 naïve individuals.

Panel of broadly neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 nanobodies for immune assay application

In this study, a team of researchers from Japanese institutions provide a panel of broadly neutralizing nanobodies that detect four VOCs.

Using fluvoxamine to treat COVID-19 patients reduces the need for prolonged hospitalization, trial shows

The results of a new randomized clinical trial, published in The Lancet Global Health, have demonstrated that using fluvoxamine to treat high-risk outpatients with early-diagnosed COVID-19 reduced the need for prolonged observation in an emergency setting or hospitalization, compared to a control group who received a placebo.

Japanese study on SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections

Researchers evaluated SARS-CoV-2 incidence in Japan regarding the timing of the vaccination program and surge in COVID-19 cases among the staff of a large referral hospital in Tokyo. This study is posted to the medRxiv* preprint server.

N antibodies following SARS-CoV-2 Alpha and Delta infections by vaccination status

A new study, published on the medRxiv* preprint server, has focused on the use of anti-nucleocapsid (N) antibody positivity as a marker of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In the present study, these antibody markers were evaluated using serological surveillance studies post-vaccination amidst circulation of variants of concern.
