Research could pave the way for adoption of precision medicine approaches for COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed a frightening reality; the course of infection with this disease is highly variable. Some young patients have died from the virus, whereas several elderly people have survived without experiencing respiratory symptoms at all. Researchers are left wondering: why?

25 Feb 2022

Declining immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 variants in dialysis patients post-vaccination

Researchers examined systemic B and T cell responses 16 weeks after BNT162b2 vaccination, and the potency of vaccine-induce neutralizing antibodies, in hemodialysis patients and healthcare workers with no comorbidities.
