Higher antibody level correlates with greater vaccine protection against COVID-19

By measuring antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in participants in a phase 3 trial of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, researchers found that the higher the antibody level, the greater the vaccine protection against COVID-19.

Study proves safety and effectiveness of novel radionuclide therapy for neuroendocrine neoplasms

A new type of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has been shown to control disease in 85 percent of patients with metastatic neuroendocrine neoplasms, achieving complete remission in some patients.

Study explains why moles can change into melanoma

Moles and melanomas are both skin tumors that come from the same cell called melanocytes. The difference is that moles are usually harmless, while melanomas are cancerous and often deadly without treatment.

New virtual reality platform could revolutionize the way single-cell omics data is analyzed

Science has the technology to measure the activity of every gene within a single individual cell, and just one experiment can generate thousands of cells worth of data.

Study examines the link between housework and functional health among older adults

Housework is linked to sharper memory, attention span, and better leg strength, and by extension, greater protection against falls, in older adults, finds research published in the open access journal BMJ Open.

Discovery of a broad-spectrum antiviral activity in self-assembling immunostimulatory duplex RNAs

A new study, published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, has discovered a class of new immunostimulatory RNAs while studying influenza infection-associated host genes in human lung epithelial cells using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). Scientists revealed that these short duplex RNAs could induce type I and type III interferons (IFN-I/III) in a wide variety of cells.

Adolescent and young adult ASD patients show changes in the brain's white matter microstructure

Researchers at Yale University analyzing specialized MRI exams found significant changes in the microstructure of the brain's white matter in adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared to a control group, according to research being presented next week at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.

A novel reverse epitope discovery approach to characterize SARS-CoV-2 public CD4+ αβ T cell clonotypes

A new study, published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, has focused on public clonotypes, i.e., clones found in multiple individuals, for the development of a novel reverse epitope discovery technique. This technique holds greater potential for population-wide applications.

Study confirms safety of electroconvulsive therapy for treatment of mental conditions

The safety concerns associated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) are unwarranted, according to a new study in Frontiers in Psychology.

New model describes how cultural traumas may drive health disparities

A pair of researchers at the University of California, Riverside, has proposed a new model of "cultural trauma" that describes how traumas such as colonization, hate crimes, and recent anti-immigrant media and policies may drive health disparities in many U.S. cultural groups.

Mouthwash containing an antiviral phthalocyanine derivative shortens hospitalizations due to COVID-19

In a study published in the journal Scientific Reports, a research group from Brazil showed how antiviral anionic phthalocyanine derivative used in a mouthwash protocol may not only reduce the symptoms of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), but also hamper the spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Anti-inflammatory drug used to treat gout does not reduce the risk of COVID-19 mortality

Colchicine, a cheap anti-inflammatory drug normally used to treat gout, doesn't lessen COVID-19 severity or stave off the risk of death from the infection in hospital patients, finds a pooled analysis of the available evidence, published in the open access journal RMD Open.

New study highlights gap in postpartum blood pressure screening

In a new study, only 13.7% of women diagnosed with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) attended a blood pressure screening visit within 10 days of delivery. HDP can cause life-threatening complications, as described in the study published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Women's Health.
