Inhibiting immune response-related enzyme holds promise in preventing or treating severe COVID-19

Blocking an immune response-related enzyme holds promise in preventing or treating severe COVID-19 symptoms by reducing inflammation, tissue injury and blood clots in the lungs, new research in mice suggests.

Genetically modified herpes virus can be used in the fight against cancer

Viruses can make animals and humans sick - or healthy: Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB have succeeded in genetically modifying the herpes simplex virus type 1, which triggers painful cold sores, in such a way that it can be used in the fight against cancer in the future.

People with food allergies less likely to become infected with SARS-CoV-2, study finds

A National Institutes of Health-funded study has found that people with food allergies are less likely to become infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, than people without them. In addition, while previous research identified obesity as a risk factor for severe COVID-19, the new study has identified obesity and high body mass index (BMI) as associated with increased risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Study shows the SARS-CoV-2 accessory protein ORF7a inhibits HLA-I surface expression levels in human cells

Researchers identified a single viral gene product, the accessory factor ORF7a, facilitating SARS-CoV-2 immune evasion by downregulating the surface expression of MHC class I molecules.

Study investigates an outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 among children and adults after attending an overnight summer camp

Researchers investigated a SARS-CoV-2 outbreak among individuals who attended an overnight summer camp in Texas in June 2021.

Researchers identify molecular characteristics linked to increased likelihood of post-vaccination fatigue

Despite their strong effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2, mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines are associated with adverse post-vaccination effects, such as fatigue; how can this be avoided? In a new study publishing May 31st in the open-access journal PLOS Biology, Ayesa Syenina of the Duke–NUS Medical School in Singapore and colleagues report that a new analysis of blood samples from people vaccinated for COVID-19 has identified distinct molecular characteristics linked to an increased likelihood of post-vaccination fatigue.
