An innovative nasal vaccine strategy to combat COVID

In a recent study published in the journal Science, researchers at Yale University developed a novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination strategy termed 'prime and spike' (P&S) that leveraged existing systemic immunity triggered by parenteral vaccination (prime) to boost immunity at the respiratory mucosa.

New insights on antibody response against SARS-CoV-2 Omiron sublineages

Knowing how well vaccination against one SARS-CoV-2 strain (with or without previous infection) counteracts infection with a different strain is a critical research question.

CU Anschutz study details the mechanisms behind the link between shingles and strokes

Scientists investigating why people who have had shingles are at a higher risk of stroke, now believe the answer lies within lipid vesicles called exosomes that shuttle proteins and genetic information between cells, according to new research from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.

The impact of seasonal coronavirus immunity on susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination

Researchers investigated whether immunity against seasonal human coronavirus spike proteins of HKU1, OC43, NL63, or 229E could protect against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.

Booster vaccination offered additional protection to residents and staff of California state prisons against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron

Researchers evaluated to what extent prior infection and vaccination protected the residents and staff of the United States California state prison system from breakthrough infection by SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sub-variant B.1.1.529.

When monkeypox reaches rural communities, it collides with strained public health systems

When a case of monkeypox was reported in Nevada's Humboldt County in August, it was the state's first detected occurrence of the virus in a rural area. Soon, cases were found in other rural counties — Nye, Lyon, and Elko — posing another hurdle for public health systems that have been worn thin by the covid-19 pandemic.

Updapted BA.4/5 COVID vaccines boost protection but might not surpass original formula

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center assessed the immunogenicity associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) BA.5 bivalent messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine boosters.

Study sheds new light on the risk of rare blood-clotting condition after covid-19 vaccination

A study published by The BMJ today sheds further light on the risk of developing a very rare blood-clotting condition known as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) after vaccination against the covid-19 virus.

Third dose of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine offers cirrhosis patients strong protection against the virus

Cirrhosis of the liver is associated with decreased responsiveness to many vaccines, including those that protect against COVID-19.

Study shows the potential of experimental monoclonal antibodies to treat Epstein-Barr virus infection

A panel of investigational monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting different sites of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) blocked infection when tested in human cells in a laboratory setting.

Study examines the severity of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 subvariant

In a recent study that represents the largest to date to examine the severity of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 subvariant (the strain making a re-emergence this fall), a team led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) determined that the BA.2 subvariant is less severe than the previous Delta variant and less severe to an even greater extent than the original Omicron variant.
