Oncolytic viruses could be used to 'warm up' cold tumors and improve immunotherapy

Equipping cancer-infecting, or oncolytic, viruses with tumor-inhibiting genetic cargo stimulates the immune system and helps immunotherapy to shrink or completely clear aggressive tumors in mice, according to a new study in the Journal of Experimental Medicine led by University of Pittsburgh and UPMC researchers.

Trained scent dogs can more effectively detect COVID-19 infections than RT-PCR tests

It's an idea that has finally gained scientific consensus: Dogs can be a faster, more precise, less expensive - not to mention friendlier - method of detecting COVID-19 than even our best current technology.

UAB researchers identify cell-surface marker that indicates fate of T cells

Follicular helper T cells, or Tfh cells, have a crucial role in immune defense. Without Tfh cells, B cells cannot form germinal center, or GC, responses during which high-affinity antibodies are generated.

New imaging method could speed up treatment for critically ill lung infection patients

A federally funded study, led by University of Cincinnati researcher Nalinikanth Kotagiri, looks to develop a new imaging method that can identify certain types of lung infections - in real time - in order to speed up treatment for critically ill patients.

Study analyzes the risk of death after hospital discharge with COVID-19 among older adults

As of June 2023, more than 1.1 million Americans have died of COVID-19. Adults older than 65 - who make up just 16 percent of the population - account for more than 75 percent of U.S. COVID-19 deaths and were hospitalized at three times the rate of younger people, highlighting the heightened vulnerability of this population.

Adenovirus infection linked to rare blood clotting disorder

Platelets, or thrombocytes, are specialized cellular fragments that form blood clots when we get scrapes and traumatic injuries. Viral infections, autoimmune disease, and other conditions can cause platelet levels to drop throughout the body, termed thrombocytopenia.
