Cardiovascular risk factors linked to higher risk of depression in older adults

Cardiovascular risk factors are associated with an increased risk of depression in older adults, according to a new study published April 13 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Sandra Martín-Peláez of University of Granada, Spain, and colleagues.

Risk of myopericarditis following COVID-19 vaccination is very low, confirms study

The overall risk of myopericarditis following COVID-19 vaccination is very low, affecting 18 people per million vaccine doses. A new study published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, confirms that this risk is comparable to or lower following COVID-19 vaccination than other non-COVID-19 vaccines.

Pod-based e-cigarette use alters the inflammatory state across multiple organ systems

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine report that daily use of pod-based e-cigarettes alters the inflammatory state across multiple organ systems including the brain, heart, lungs and colon. Effects also vary depending on the e-cigarette flavor, and can influence how organs respond to infections, such as SARS-CoV-2.

Treg cell Notch receptors drive SARS-CoV-2-induced MIS-C

In a recent study under consideration at Nature Portfolio Journal and posted to the Research Square* preprint server, researchers demonstrated the evolution of multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) following acute severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.

Decoy nanoparticles could provide a quick, effective treatment for COVID-19

They might look like cells and act like cells. But a new potential COVID-19 treatment is actually a cleverly disguised trickster, which attracts viruses and binds them, rendering them inactive.

Unique heightened aggregation of SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant spike pseudotyped particles

A recent study illustrated the enhanced distinct clustering of pseudotyped particles (PPs) expressing the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Delta variant.

Scientists find critical role for Hippo signaling pathway in COVID-19 pathogenesis

A recent article posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server illustrated that the activation of the Hippo signaling pathway upon severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection aids the host antiviral response.

Inflammation weakens odor signals and may be responsible for COVID19 loss of smell

Anosmia, the loss of smell, is a frequent and often long-term symptom associated with COVID-19 that can severely burden a person's quality of life, making it extremely difficult to taste foods, detect airborne hazards in the environment and carry out other functions dependent on the sense.

Age and higher ferritin levels associated with more severe MIS-C

A new study found that older children and those with high blood markers for inflammation (ferritin) were at highest risk of severe multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and admission to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Chromatin accessibility as an early marker of severe COVID-19

A new study explores the possible use of chromatin remodeling in predicting a severe clinical trajectory for COVID-19.

International study offers insight into occurrence of acute myocarditis during COVID-19 hospitalization

Acute myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle typically triggered by a virus, occurred in about two out of every 1,000 people hospitalized with COVID-19, and was associated with more severe illness and complications in people with COVID-19, especially among people who also had pneumonia, according to new research published today in the American Heart Association's flagship, peer-reviewed journal Circulation.
