Uptake of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in human cerebrovascular cells

A recent study assessed the uptake of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in human cerebrovascular cells via the lipid raft ganglioside.

Study evaluates the prevalence of autoantibodies targeting type I interferons in critically-ill COVID-19 patients

Researchers assessed the prevalence of antibodies that neutralize the type I interferon antiviral activity and reactivate herpesviruses such as herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 and/or cytomegalovirus infections in patients with critical COVID-19.

Study shows prevalence and misdiagnosis of post-concussive syndrome in children after mild head injury

A new study by Tel Aviv University, Kaplan Medical Center and Shamir Medical Center (Assaf Harofeh) found that one in four children (25.3%) who have been discharged from the emergency room after a mild head injury are misdiagnosed and continue to suffer from persistent post-concussion syndrome for many years.

Breathlessness and fatigue most common in self reported long-COVID

A new systematic review and meta-analysis posted to the medRxiv* preprint server has focussed on investigating the respiratory outcomes and functional recovery of patients eight weeks post-hospitalization with COVID-19 disease.

$Metabolic-immune interaction appears to be the cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction$

Metabolic-immune interaction appears to be the cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

The dominant form of heart failure worldwide appears to be caused by a strong, bidirectional interaction between the body's response to metabolic stress and the immune system, according to a review article written by UT Southwestern researchers and colleagues.

SARS-CoV-2 is evolving adaptively in multiple regions of the genome

Scientists from the United States have recently assessed the evolutionary success of mutations accumulated across severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genome. They have observed that the positively-selected mutations in the viral spike S1 subunit are primarily responsible for adaptive evolution. This indicates that the virus may undergo antigenic drift.

T-cell and neutralizing antibody response after a third COVID-19 vaccine dose in hemodialysis patients

Researchers compare the impact of a third mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in hemodialysis patients by measuring antibody levels and IFN-γ responses.

Researchers investigate Galectin-9 as a new treatment target for COVID-19

Researchers discuss alternate therapeutic targets for treating COVID-19 and the effects of Gal-9 on SARS-CoV-2 infection and the immune response.

Men with RED-S have lower testosterone levels, poor bone health and low resting metabolism

"RED-S syndrome is characterized by low energy availability. This happens when athletes eat too little compared with the energy they expend when exercising.

Study confirms no preexisting B-cell immunity against SARS-CoV-2 in pre-pandemic samples

A recent study finds that there is no considerable B-cell immunity against SARS-CoV-2 in unexposed healthy individuals.

Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 Delta-Omicron variant identified in the United States

There is likely recombination of genome sequences between the SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants in their spike (S) protein.

Researchers aim to study the underlying pathophysiology of diastolic heart failure

Of the estimated five million patients in the U.S. diagnosed with heart failure annually, nearly half will have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Also known as diastolic heart failure, HFpEF occurs when the heart's lower left chamber loses its ability to relax and fill up with enough blood in between in each heartbeat.
