Interventions for preventing COVID-19 outbreaks in military basic training

New research findings suggest that military basic training is a unique environment that necessitates the development of tailored solutions for minimizing COVID-19 outbreaks.

Grouping of immunological T-cell receptors may be key to identifying patients' history of infection

Grouping of pathogen-recognizing proteins on immune T cells may be key to identifying if someone has had an infection in the past, suggests a study published today in eLife.

Impact of SARS-CoV-2 on oral health

New research examined SARS-CoV-2 and its impact on oral health and suggests that survival against the infection may be partially dependent on such factors.

1 Dec 2021

Role of interferon type I-driven responses associated with disease control in COVID-19

New research suggests that treatment with type I interferons in the early stage of COVID-19 may supress disease progression by limiting SARS-CoV-2 in hosts.

Novel nanopore technique for annotation of SARS-CoV-2 capping sites and understanding sgRNA structure

New research examined SARS-CoV-2 transcripts in order to understand how it expresses its gene products in the infected host.

Watch: No extra resources for children orphaned by covid

The number of U.S. deaths from covid-19 has surpassed 778,000. Left behind are tens of thousands of children — some orphaned — after their parents or a grandparent who cared for them died

COVID-19 vaccination status based infection likelihood in New Zealand

A new study has determined the possible number of infections caused by an unvaccinated versus vaccinated individual.

For older adults, smelling the roses may be more difficult

The reports from covid-19 patients are disconcerting. Only a few hours before, they were enjoying a cup of pungent coffee or the fragrance of flowers in a garden. Then, as if a switch had been flipped, those smells disappeared.

Comparison of peptides from human cardiac proteins and SARS-CoV-2 proteins

A new study investigated whether linear peptides contained in proteins (primarily expressed in the heart) also occur in the SARS-CoV-2 proteome.

Study compares NAbs from natural SARS-CoV-2 infection vs. vaccine induced against symptomatic infection

Scientists have recently compared the levels of antibody concentrations in unvaccinated, SARS-CoV-2 convalescent individuals and COVID-19 specific antibodies in vaccinated individuals.

An antiviral regimen based on biomimetic polymers for COVID-19

In a new study published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, scientists proposed the aforementioned mechanism of action (MOA) and have validated it using electron photomicrographs of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), which were incubated with a nanoviricide.

New algorithm uses data from smartwatches to detect bodily stress, including COVID-19

Using data from smartwatches, a new algorithm reads heart rate as a proxy for physiological or mental stress, potentially alerting wearers they're falling ill before they have symptoms.

30 Nov 2021

Longer between-dose intervals for COVID-19 vaccines may significantly reduce mortality

A recent study, currently available on the medRxiv* preprint server, has shown how longer dosing intervals of vaccines against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) may be able to minimize mortality in low- and middle-income countries in the WHO European region – and significantly change our vaccination strategy.

30 Nov 2021

Natural COVID-19 infection offers protection from gamma and delta variants of SARS-CoV-2

Natural infection with COVID-19 offered protection from reinfection when the gamma and delta variants predominated, according to a new University of Michigan study that also provides levels of antibodies needed to protect against reinfections.

Northwestern researchers continue to tackle every facet of COVID-19 pandemic

As the COVID-19 pandemic nears the two-year mark, Northwestern Medicine scientists continue to tackle every facet of the disease, from investigating coronavirus vaccines' potential for providing immunity against similar coronaviruses to developing novel rapid antigen-based tests and examining disparities in COVID-19 case and mortality rates in Chicago.

30 Nov 2021

New strategy for antibodies to distort viruses discovered

It is widely understood that antibodies neutralize viruses by latching onto their surfaces and blocking them from infecting host cells.

Omicron and other coronavirus variants: What you need to know

Americans, already weary of a pandemic nearly two years long, were dealt a new blow during the long Thanksgiving weekend: the announcement that a new coronavirus variant had emerged.
