Exploring Populations of B and T Cells in Lymph Nodes of Patients Diagnosed with COVID-19 via Microscopy and Image Analysis

My work is focused on looking at the dynamics of B/T cell populations within lymph nodes from patients that had recovered from COVID-19. My role in this research was developing and implementing microscopy image analysis techniques using methods and instrumentation in part supplied by TissueGnostics.

Unhealthy air increases the chances of catching COVID-19

A Swedish study published in the journal JAMA Network Open investigates the association between short-term exposure to air pollution and SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Study shows combined benefit of three public health interventions for preventing invasive cancers

A new study published in Frontiers in Aging found that a combination of high-dose vitamin D, omega-3s, and a simple home strength exercise program (SHEP) showed a cumulative reduction by 61% in cancer risk in healthy adults aged 70 or older.

Study highlights a rapidly increasing patient population with long COVID and lack of treatments

A new UK study of more than 2,000 patients after hospitalization with COVID-19 presented at this year's European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2022, Lisbon 23-26), and published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine shows that, one year after having COVID-19, only around one in four patients feel fully well again.

C. difficile study finds the sharing of multiple antibiotic-resistance genes between pigs and humans

A study investigating samples of the superbug Clostridioides difficile across 14 pig farms in Denmark finds the sharing of multiple antibiotic-resistance genes between pigs and human patients, providing evidence that that animal to human (zoonotic) transmission is possible.

Research identifies the third day of hospitalization as a tipping point in progression of COVID-19 pneumonia

New research being presented at this year's European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases in Lisbon, Portugal, (23-26 April), has identified the third day of hospitalization as a tipping point in the progression of disease among symptomatic patients admitted for COVID-19 pneumonia.

Researchers identify cytokines that can help predict negative outcomes in COVID-19 patients

New research being presented at this year's European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) in Lisbon, Portugal (23-26 April) has identified a panel of cytokines that can help predict which COVID-19 patients are at risk of serious illness and death.

An abnormally suppressed immune system may be to blame in some cases of long COVID-19

A UCLA-led team of researchers studying the effect of the monoclonal antibody Leronlimab on long COVID-19 may have found a surprising clue to the baffling syndrome, one that contradicts their initial hypothesis.

Interleukin-6 levels predict early withdrawal of COVID-19 patients from mechanical ventilation

Researchers reported that plasma IL-6 levels in patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 could predict early withdrawal from mechanical ventilation.

Discovering Genetic Variants that Significantly Predispose People to Critical COVID-19

We speak with postdoctoral researcher Erola Pairo-Castineira about her recent work which aimed to find the genetic factors that may predispose individuals to critical COVID-19 and learn how COVID-19 affects cells in the body.

Salk scientists identify a protein that is critical for preventing pancreatic auto-digestion in mice

Every day, your pancreas produces about one cup of digestive juices, a mixture of molecules that can break down the food you eat.

Using CR2Crry to reduce the negative effects of brain hemorrhaging in premature infants

A little over 1% of babies born in the U.S. in 2020 fell under the category of very low birthweight, meaning they weighed less than 1,500 grams at birth or 3 pounds, 4 ounces. And considering that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says more than 3.5 million babies were born that year, almost 48,500 were considered to be at very low birthweight.

Researchers discover more needles in the haystack in the quest to unravel Alzheimer’s disease

21 million. That's the number of genetic variations in the human genome that researchers are sifting to identify patterns predisposing people to Alzheimer's disease.

Single-cell genome sequencing provides a new way to think about Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer's disease is marked by a loss of functional neurons in the brain. But what causes this loss? Through single-cell genome sequencing, researchers at Boston Children's Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and the Broad Institute show that people with Alzheimer's have an abundance of newly acquired mutations in their neurons - more than people of the same age without Alzheimer's, and enough to disable genes important to brain function.
