Impact of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccine on antibody levels: Texas survey

A collaborative team, led by principal investigator Dr. Eric Boerwinkle, at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, School of Public Health is conducting a survey designed to assess the frequency of antibody-positive individuals across Texas. The TEXAS Coronavirus Antibody REsponse Survey (CARES) aims to look for antibodies in the blood made in response to natural SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination.

SARS-CoV-2 infections surged in England this summer, despite high vaccine uptake

Researchers in the UK have warned that England experienced a rapid exponential increase this summer in the prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) – the agent that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) – despite high rates of vaccination uptake.

Family's socio-economic status may influence children's composition of gut microbiome

Findings of a nationwide study led by the Translational Genomics Research Institute, an affiliate of City of Hope, suggest that a family's socio-economic status may influence children's composition of gut microbiome - the mix of microscopic organisms within the digestive tract.

Study compares DNA extraction and amplification methods used for microbiome research

Let's face it, we are a results-driven society. Too focused on the outcome, people don't often think about the "how." For instance, did you think about "how" you got to work this morning or did you just get there? In microbiome studies the results are the graphs and the data but the "how," like commuting, is often just part of a routine.

Experimental device offers glycemic control to hyperinsulinism patients after pancreatectomy

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have demonstrated that an experimental device can improve blood sugar control in patients who developed diabetes after their pancreas was removed to treat their hyperinsulinism, a genetic disease in which the pancreas produces too much insulin.
