Researchers detect the Alongshan virus for the first time in Swiss ticks

The Alongshan virus was discovered in China only five years ago. Now researchers at the University of Zurich have found the novel virus for the first time in Swiss ticks.

Cancer immunotherapies can become more potent depending on the time of day

Scientists from the UNIGE and LMU show that the anti-tumor activity of the immune system - and the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapies - depends on the time of day.

Air pollution-triggered immune surveillance deficits in the lungs increase the risk of respiratory diseases with aging

Researchers highlighted the significance of air quality in preserving immune health over the human lifespan, especially lung-related immunity, owing to the lungs' continuous exposure to the environment.

Gestational diabetes mellitus linked to early particulate matter exposure with high BMI

Researchers assess the impact of high BMI before pregnancy, coupled with exposure to different levels of PM, on the incidence of gestational diabetes.

Eating ultra-processed foods increases risk of cognitive decline

The consumption of ultra-processed foods increases the risk of cognitive decline, particularly among middle-aged adults.

Trial assesses the impact of two immunomodulators in reducing CV risk among rheumatoid arthritis patients

People with rheumatoid arthritis are at increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease, with studies indicating an approximate 50 percent increase in risk of CV events such as heart attack and stroke.

Study explores histopathological, serological, and clinical characteristics of PASC in patients with mild COVID-19

Researchers investigated the clinical, histopathological, imaging, and serological characteristics of post-acute sequelae of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (PASC) in patients with mild COVID-19.

Home air purifiers can improve markers of cardiovascular health in people with COPD

A six-month study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers concludes that the use of portable home air purifiers can improve some markers of cardiovascular health in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD.

Natural material derived from seaweed can help improve outcomes after heart bypass surgery

Researchers are using a natural material derived from seaweed to promote vascular cell growth, prevent blood clots and improve the performance of synthetic vascular grafts used in heart bypass surgery.

Comparison of blood plasma protein expression in mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19 identifies novel disease severity biomarkers

Researchers evaluated blood plasma proteins to identify new targets for COVID-19 treatment approaches and prevent complications associated with severe illness.

Does air pollution reduce cognitive function over time?

Researchers examine available studies for correlations between declining cognitive function in childhood and adult life and air pollution.

Researchers develop potent yet low-inflammatory mRNA cancer vaccine vectors

Lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines have recently emerged as a promising strategy for the prevention and treatment of cancers, as well as infectious diseases.

Sharp increase in B cell population can prevent intestinal healing

B cells are critical to the proper functioning of the immune system. However, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have shown that they can sometimes do more harm than good, as their numbers greatly increase after bowel damage, preventing the tissue from healing.
