COVID-19 leads to long-term changes in the immune system, study shows

In a study recently published in the renowned journal “Allergy”, a MedUni Vienna research team shows that COVID-19 leads to considerable long-term changes in the immune system, even in mild cases. The findings could help to better understand the long-term consequences of an infection with SARS-CoV-2. As part of the study, the team led by […]

Curcumin spray shows promise in fighting SARS-CoV-2 and flu viruses

A team of scientists from Thailand has developed a curcumin-containing oro-nasal film spray, which shows potential antiviral activity and mucosal immunity-boosting activity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza viruses. The study is published in the Virology Journal. Study: A novel film spray containing curcumin inhibits SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus infection and […]

Strong antibody response and nasal cytokines may protect young children from severe COVID-19

New research helps explain why young children have lower rates of severe COVID-19 than adults. A study of infants and young children found those who acquired SARS-CoV-2 had a strong, sustained antibody response to the virus and high levels of inflammatory proteins in the nose but not in the blood. This immune response contrasts with […]

The immunomodulatory and antiviral function of vitamin D

Recently, scientists reviewed the available literature to better understand vitamin D’s immunomodulatory and antiviral function. The study explores how vitamin D influences the pediatric respiratory system after acute respiratory tract infections (ARTI), such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is the causal agent of the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This review […]

New study provides promising results for metformin in periodontitis

Periodontitis, a prevalent global health concern, results in the gradual destruction of tooth-supporting tissues and is often exacerbated by oxidative stress conditions and bacterial changes. Current treatment methodologies include mechanical debridement, anti-inflammatory drugs, and regenerative surgery. The researchpublished in the journal of Genes & Diseases, conducted detailed examinations on cellular interactions with Metformin, investigating its […]
