What is the association between interferon genes and complement regulatory protein expressions in SARS-CoV-2 infections?

Researchers investigated the expression of complement regulatory proteins (CRPs) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to identify potential dysregulated CRP patterns and investigate whether they contribute to COVID-19 pathogenesis.

Study characterizes immunological signature of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children

A recent study has demonstrated that the clinical severity of COVID-19 in children depends on the dynamics of immune response induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection.

What is the association between body fat and COVID-19?

Researchers recently assessed the association between adipose tissues and COVID-19 by evaluating autopsy cases and profiling adipose tissue responses to SARS-CoV-2 infections.

The impact of sleep fragmentation on the clonal diversity of immune cells and the genetic aging of the hematopoietic system

A new study shows that sleep does much more, regulating the normal production of blood cells. This finding underlines how essential a healthy sleep routine is for a normal life.

A good night's sleep promotes immunity

In a recent study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, researchers in the United States used mice models to understand how sleep fragmentation affects immunological responses and the epigenetic modifications of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). They also conducted a sleep restriction trial in humans to determine HPSC programming and hematopoiesis.

Study using circulating spike protein and macrophage dysregulation liquid biomarkers reveals heterogeneity in PASC

In a new study, researchers designed a liquid biomarker panel consisting of macrophage and monocyte-related soluble factors and circulating spike proteins to understand profiles of immune dysregulation in patients with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19.

Why fatigue from long COVID goes beyond simply feeling tired

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers in the Netherlands examined the role of inflammatory genes, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CD8+ T cells), and pro-inflammatory cytokines in long-lasting severe fatigue experienced by a large number of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.

High-fat diets drive the production of inflammatory immune cells in the bone marrow of mice

Scientists have shown that high-fat diets can cause rapid changes in the bone marrow of mice, driving the production of inflammatory immune cells, according to findings published today in eLife.

Bivalent recombinant vaccine protects against SARS-CoV-2 and influenza in animal models

In a new study, researchers developed a recombinant bivalent vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza viruses.

Mechanism of action of different COVID-19 vaccines

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers at the University of Tuebingen and Imperial College London assessed humoral and cellular immune responses elicited by the recombinant adenoviral vector (rAdVV)- and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines.

BCG vaccine produces a "trained immunity response" which lasts more than a year

The immune boosting benefits of a tuberculosis vaccine can be seen in infants more than one year after vaccination, according to a new study.

Sex matters when it comes to immune responses to vaccines and viral infections

A review published in Frontiers in Aging analyzed the sex differences in the safety, effectiveness, and immunogenicity of influenza and COVID-19 vaccines in older individuals. It also analyzed the way sex brings about the modification of the impact of age-related factors on vaccination.

Analyzing whether SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid and spike proteins stimulate dendritic or γδ T cells

Researchers showed that the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) and spike (S) proteins did not activate γδ T cells and dendritic cells (DCs).
