Study suggests robust lung mucosal immunity against SARS-CoV-2 can be better achieved through hybrid immunity, as opposed to peripheral vaccination alone

Researchers characterized immunological responses by pulmonary mucosal tissues post-COVID-19 vaccination and/or SARS-CoV-2 infection, to assess the impact of hybrid immune protection on the durability of mucosal immunological responses.

NUS scientists breathe new life into an existing drug to fight T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

A team of researchers from the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore at the National University of Singapore, led by Associate Professor Takaomi Sanda and Dr Lim Fang Qi, has breathed new life into an existing drug—combatting a type of blood cancer called T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or T-ALL.

Research supports weight-neutral care for women with binge eating disorders

In a recent study published in the journal eClinical Medicine, researchers in the United States reported findings of qualitative research that they pursued to understand the perceived impact of weight stigma and weight-neutral care among women receiving treatment for binge eating disorder (BED) with type 2 diabetes. BED is the most common eating disorder in the United States (US).

Decreasing anesthetics during procedures without compromising patient care can reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Anesthesiologists can play a role in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming by decreasing the amount of anesthetic gas provided during procedures without compromising patient care, suggests new research being presented at the American Society of Anesthesiologists' ADVANCE 2023, the Anesthesiology Business Event.

Study shows COVID-19 induces body fat and other metabolic changes

In a recent study published in the journal Cureus, researchers explored the relationship between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and levels of serum insulin, body fat distribution, and insulin resistance (IR) estimated by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA).

Study evaluates SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody response in human milk

In a recent study published in the journal Communications Biology, researchers investigated the effect of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine booster on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific antibodies in the milk of lactating women. Additionally, they explored whether the booster-induced antibody response differed from the homologous and heterologous boosting schedule of their primary vaccination.
