Low-density granulocytes are phenotypically altered in people with long-COVID

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers characterized low-density granulocyte (LDG) neutrophil (NP) proportion among individuals up to 14 months post-SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) infection.

Rutgers physicians take newer approach in successfully treating a mysterious disease

The prognosis for the sick child, who hadn't responded to standard treatment, was dire. But a team of Rutgers physicians believed there might be hope despite the conventional wisdom against pursuing any further treatment.

Immune checkpoint therapy may be beneficial in certain cases of severe COVID-19

An article published in Science Advances suggests that a type of cancer treatment known as immune checkpoint blockade may be beneficial in certain cases of severe COVID-19.

Does maternal insulin tolerance during pregnancy influence child adiposity?

Researchers explore the association between maternal insulin resistance with fetal fat deposition.

New study pinpoints neurons that slow us down during sickness

We tend to eat, drink, and move less when we're feeling under the weather. And we're not alone - most animals reduce those same three behaviors when they're fighting an infection.

Study sheds new light on the risk of rare blood-clotting condition after covid-19 vaccination

A study published by The BMJ today sheds further light on the risk of developing a very rare blood-clotting condition known as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) after vaccination against the covid-19 virus.

In mild cases of COVID, blood clot risk is higher

Researchers examine the association between COVID-19 and increased cardiovascular outcomes and mortality sequelae.

OSU researchers take major step toward improving, lengthening the lives of cystic fibrosis patients

Researchers at Oregon State University and Oregon Health & Science University have taken a key step toward improving and lengthening the lives of cystic fibrosis patients, who experience chronically clogged airways and a dramatically shortened life expectancy.

Researchers find a switch to regulate the diabetes-causing gene

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation and Imperial College London have found a switch that regulates the activity of a gene that causes diabetes.

Study elucidates mechanism that is crucial for making hemophilia therapy effective

Hemophilia A is the most common severe form of hemophilia. It affects almost exclusively males. The disease can usually be treated well, but not for all sufferers.

Advanced type of nanoparticle could help fight hard-to-treat cancers

Nanoparticles, or tiny molecules that can deliver a payload of drug treatments and other agents, show great promise for treating cancers.

Study finds sexual dimorphism in the development of vascular insulin resistance induced by obesogenic lifestyle

A new study from the University of Missouri School of Medicine is the first evidence in humans that short-term lifestyle changes can disrupt the response to insulin of blood vessels. It's also the first study to show men and women react differently to these changes.

New discovery may change the textbook model of GPCR-mediated signaling

Researchers at University of California San Diego have identified a new signaling process involving G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a cellular target already exploited by hundreds of diverse drugs.

Pioneering gene editing technique can repair faulty T cells in patients with CTLA-4 insufficiency

A fault in cells that form a key part of the immune system can be repaired with a pioneering gene editing technique, finds new research demonstrated in human cells and mice, led by UCL scientists.

Studies find cardiovascular effects of cigarettes and e-cigarettes to be strikingly similar

Two related studies, one in humans and the other in rats, found that the cardiovascular effects of cigarettes and e-cigarettes are strikingly similar, and these harmful effects on blood vessel function are likely caused by airway irritation due to inhalation of a foreign substance, rather than a specific component of the cigarette smoke or e-cigarette vapor (aerosol), according to new research published today in the American Heart Association's peer-reviewed journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology.

Hydrogel bioink can bioprint conduits that mimic the mechanics of native blood vessels

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain among the leading causes of global morbidity and mortality. In patients with CVD, blood vessels-which transport blood, oxygen, and nutrients-can become constricted or obstructed, leading to numerous complications.

Some healthcare workers vaccinated against COVID-19 show unexpectedly low responses to immunizations

A subset of healthcare workers vaccinated against COVID-19 had unexpectedly low responses to the immunizations, according to Cedars-Sinai investigators.
