Studies provide insight into how long COVID-19 immunity lasts and nature of immune recall

How does the immune system remember and recognize viral invaders it has encountered in the past? A trio of newly published studies of people infected with SARS-CoV-2, vaccinated against the virus or both, are providing tantalizing new clues about the factors that influence the speed and magnitude of the immune system's response to subsequent infection with variants of SARS-CoV-2.

SARS-CoV-2 zoonotic transmission prediction using ACE2 receptor variation is limited

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers at the University of Glasgow assessed the variation in angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) host prediction.

Researchers discover possible connection between harmful amyloid production and COVID-19 symptoms

In patients with serious and long-term COVID-19, disturbed blood coagulation has often been observed. Now, researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have discovered that the body's immune system can affect the spike protein on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, leading to the production of a misfolded spike protein called amyloid.

Genetic variants may help explain the variability in COVID-19 severity, study suggests

Though underlying medical conditions play an important role, many aspects of why COVID-19 severity can differ vastly from one to another has remained unclear.

Mice study links dietary cholesterol with exacerbation of influenza

New research from the University of Illinois suggests high levels of dietary cholesterol make mice sicker when infected with influenza. The study is the first to link cholesterol in the diet with exacerbation of a viral infection.
