Immune cells present in people months before influenza infection, finds study

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists, in collaboration with the Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR) Limited, found that immune cells present in people months before influenza (flu) infection could more accurately predict if an individual would develop symptoms than current methods which primarily rely on antibody levels.

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.
