Common coronavirus infections don't generate antibodies that effectively cross-react with SARS-CoV-2

Although SARS-CoV-2 has taken the world by storm, it's not the only coronavirus that can infect humans.

Booster doses provide strong protection against hospitalization and death from COVID-19

Booster doses of mRNA vaccines provided strong protection against hospitalization and death from COVID-19 in Qatar, though breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infections were greater for the omicron variant compared with the delta variant, according to a study by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine—Qatar.

Study identifies a set of sporadic genetic mutations behind cavernous angioma

A rare type of brain blood vessel malformation known as a cavernous angioma affects more than one million Americans and carries a lifetime risk of stroke and seizures.

Colonization of subventricular neurogenic niche by leukemia cells prevents the formation of new neurons

The subventricular neurogenic niche is a region of the brain where tumor cells can hide from chemotherapy treatment to reappear later, causing relapses in patients with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and preventing the formation of new neurons, as demonstrated by research led by Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM).

Role of SARS-CoV-2 S1 subunit in severe COVID-19

A new study aimed to determine whether portions of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein are capable of activating innate immune cells like Gal-3.

Inconsistency in disease severity across SARS-CoV-2 variants

Researchers determine how the severity of successively dominant SARS-CoV-2 variants has changed since the beginning of the pandemic.

Chemical in leafy greens could prevent infections by coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2

Researchers discuss the use of the isothiocyanate sulforaphane for the treatment of both SARS-CoV-2 and HCoV-OC43 infections.

Decisive role of PDK1 enzyme in acute myeloid leukemia revealed

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains harder to treat therapeutically due to the high existing genetic heterogeneity not only between patients but also between the population of subclones of cancer cells within the same person.

Research provides a roadmap for new therapies to treat chorioamnionitis

One of the serious complications that can occur during late pregnancy happens when the amniotic sac (also called the bag of waters) breaks too early, which can allow bacterial infections to cause dangerous tissue inflammation around the placenta.

Soy molasses and kudzu roots may help fight against pediatric tumors

Soy molasses and kudzu roots contain isoflavonoids with high antioxidant and cytotoxic activity, scientists have discovered.

Study highlights the benefits of COVID-19 care at long-term acute care hospitals

Patients with severe COVID-19 and related complications can benefit from receiving postacute care at long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs), a new report suggests.

New antidiabetic substance preserves the activity of beta cells, prevents high blood glucose in mice

High blood glucose is responsible for several complications in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have identified a new antidiabetic substance that preserves the activity of insulin-producing beta cells and prevents high blood glucose in mice.

New tactic to disrupt cancer repair mechanism could lead to a potential treatment strategy

While cancer therapies targeting specific genes or disease pathways have extended lives, they can also lead to highly resistant tumors when small reservoirs of cancer cells survive treatment, grow, and spread.

Nanotherapies may benefit preterm babies with bronchopulmonary dysplasia

Very premature babies need extra oxygen and mechanical intervention to breathe, but this damages their lungs, causing a chronic lung disease called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).

COVID-19 pandemic linked to delays in access to sexual and reproductive health care

Access to contraception was reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic. This especially impacted individuals who experienced employment and financial instability, according to a study published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Women's Health.

Researchers discover potential link between inflammation and structure of specific brain regions

A potential link between inflammation and the structure of specific regions of the brain has been identified by researchers at the University of Birmingham.

Scientists create a biobank of 87 triple-negative breast cancer organoids

It's the cancer version of "mini me." Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Professor David Spector, among others, has developed organoids, which are miniature, three-dimensional copies of cancers. Organoids can be derived from cancer or healthy cells.
