Healthy, cancer, and immunosuppressed patients all benefit from COVID boosters

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers developed a mechanistic mathematical model to predict the course of vaccine-induced immunity in healthy and immunosuppressed patients for the long term, exceeding the time frames for which clinical data is currently available.

Fourth-generation vaping devices display a mix of cellular biomarkers indicative of immune suppression

Not all electronic cigarette devices are created equal. Some fourth-generation models – such as Juul devices – are associated with unique changes in markers of immune responses inside our airways.

Motherhood does not negatively impact a woman's chance of surviving breast cancer

Having a baby after breast cancer does not negatively impact a woman's chance of surviving the disease. A new study shows that survival is no worse in younger women, those who had not been pregnant before, and those with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer.

Hereditary genes correlate with a greater probability of developing cancer mutations, finds study

A study of 11,000 cancer patients reveals 42 hereditary genes which predispose individuals to a higher number of mutations that correlate with a greater probability of developing cancer.

Scientists discover how a protein and enzymes interact to allow hepatitis A virus replication

The viral replication cycle is crucial for a virus to spread inside the body and cause disease. Focusing on that cycle in the hepatitis A virus (HAV), UNC School of Medicine scientists discovered that replication requires specific interactions between the human protein ZCCHC14 and a group of enzymes called TENT4 poly(A) polymerases.

Neighborhood ‘redlining’ may increase risk of cardiovascular diseases

The historical discriminatory housing policies known as "redlining" are associated with heart disease and related risk factors today in impacted neighborhoods, more than 60 years after they were banned, according to a study published today in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
