Researchers examine the persistent effects of COVID-19 on vascular function of young adults

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have examined the persistent effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the vascular function of otherwise healthy young adults. The research, published in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, was chosen as an APSselect article for September.

Pediatric SARS-CoV-2 infections usually mild, says study

A new study in the journal BMC Pediatrics describes the clinical phenotypes and outcomes in a thousand children who developed COVID-19.

COVID-19 and the gut-lung axis

A new study explores the hypothesis that stimulation of the gut could be responsible for the lung inflammation seen in COVID-19, triggered by SARS-CoV-2.

Live oral SARS-CoV-2 vaccine provides partial protection in Rhesus Macaques

A new study describes the partial protection against respiratory infection with SARS-CoV-2 following gut inoculation with a live attenuated virus.

When covid deaths are dismissed or stigmatized, grief is mixed with shame and anger

Months after Kyle Dixon died, his old house in Lanse, Pennsylvania, is full of reminders of a life cut short.

How Fauci and the NIH got ahead of the FDA and CDC in backing boosters

In January — long before the first jabs of covid-19 vaccine were even available to most Americans — scientists working under Dr. Anthony Fauci at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases were already thinking about potential booster shots.

No papers, no care: Disabled migrants seek help through lawsuit, activism

Desperation led José Luis Hernández to ride atop a speeding train through northern Mexico with hopes of reaching the United States 13 years ago.

IL-1-Ra autoantibodies observed in high frequency in children with PIMS/MIS-C

Although severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection typically affects children only mildly, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) or pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome (PIMS) is a serious but rare complication occurring after infection.

New modeling on efficacy of BioNTech-Pfizer's SARS-CoV-2 vaccine against variants

In order to address these issues, scientists from Xitific LTD and IDEAPharma in the UK proposed a novel approach to the framework of immune correlates, built upon the previous research. The framework formulated by the authors was developed for the mRNA-based vaccinations but could be applied to the other variations.

Therapeutic potential of clinical-grade ACE2 for blocking SARS-CoV-2 variants

According to new research by an international team of scientists, all SARS-CoV-2 variants, including variants of concern (VOC) Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, exhibit enhanced affinity toward recombinant human soluble ACE2.

16 Sep 2021

Evolved SARS-CoV-2 viruses gain higher infectivity and cause more rapid infection spread

Viruses accumulate mutations as they replicate in infected cells. Repeated replication can lead to viral strains that show attenuated virulence. Such strains may act as vaccines if the attenuated virus can produce immunity without serious disease.

This 3D modeling reveals how SARS-CoV-2 attacks

Now, researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, Darlinghurst in Australia, CSIRO Data61, and the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences (UNSW) demonstrated the most comprehensive analysis of the three-dimensional structure of SARS-CoV-2, providing a new insight into how the virus infects cells and replicates.

Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine proves effective against recent SARS-CoV-2 variants

Researchers in the United States and Germany have conducted a study showing that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine designed to protect against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is effective against recently emerged variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2).

Heart inflammation more common among men following mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination

Researchers in the UK have assessed data from around the world to better understand the frequency and risk factors for myocarditis and pericarditis following immunization with messenger RNA (mRNA)-based vaccines designed to protect against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

COVID-19 pandemic may have made women think twice about expanding their families, study shows

Nearly half of New York City mothers who had been trying to become pregnant before the coronavirus pandemic began stopped in the first few months of the outbreak, a new study shows.

NYU Langone completes study designs for NIH research initiative on long-term impact of COVID-19

NYU Langone Health, as the Clinical Science Core for the National Institutes of Health's RECOVER initiative, has, since the announcement of the beginning of its operations on June 10, convened more than 100 researchers from 35 institutions as well as patients to finalize the main study protocols for the adult, pediatric, and autopsy patient groups (cohorts).

NIH awards funding to build a national study population of volunteers on long-term effects of COVID-19

The National Institutes of Health awarded nearly $470 million to build a national study population of diverse research volunteers and support large-scale studies on the long-term effects of COVID-19.
