How to develop an "all-variant" COVID vaccine

In a recent study published in Nature Immunology, researchers summarized their observations of humoral immune responses elicited in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infected people. Additionally, they discussed all the types of SARS-CoV-2 infection- and vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies (nAbs).

Awake prone positioning does not reduce endotracheal intubation for COVID-19 patients with acute hypoxemia

A large multicenter, randomized clinical trial revealed no difference in the risk of endotracheal intubation requirement at 30 days between awake prone positioning and standard positioning for patients with COVID-19 who suffered from acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, according to research published in JAMA by researchers at UTHealth Houston.

Memory B cells can be localized in the lungs, research shows

How can we increase the efficacy of vaccines used to protect against viral respiratory diseases such as influenza and COVID-19? Scientists from Inserm, CNRS and Aix-Marseille Université at the Center of Immunology Marseille-Luminy are opening up new prospects in the field, with the triggering of memory B cells directly in the lungs looking to be a promising avenue.
