COVID-19 booster enhances virus neutralizing antibodies in breast milk, new study reveals

In a recent study published in Frontiers, researchers investigated the transmission- and immunoglobulin G (IgG) viral neutralization potential of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) booster vaccine products (antibodies) passed from mother to offspring through breastmilk. They evaluated the IgG concentrations of milk, plasma, and stool samples from 24 infants and 34 vaccinated mothers, 14 of whom […]

Newborn T cells found to excel in immune defense

Scientists have long believed that a newborn’s immune system was an immature version of an adult’s, but new research from Cornell University shows that newborns’ T cells – white blood cells that protect from disease – outperform those of adults at fighting off numerous infections. These results help clarify why adults and infants respond differently […]

Small-molecule A485 mobilizes white blood cells on demand

White blood cells, or leukocytes, are the body’s first and second lines of defense against foreign organisms and particles. However, few drugs target these cells’ production and movement for clinically useful purposes. A new study published in the journal Immunity explores the signaling molecule landscape to identify potentially druggable targets for leukocyte migration into the […]

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 […]

Study shows Omicron variants evade immune system like predecessors, suggesting key evolutionary trait in SARS-CoV-2

In a recent study in Nature Microbiology, researchers compared severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant of concern (VOC) replication in human cell lines and primary airway cultures and measured host responses to infection. Study: Evolution of enhanced innate immune suppression by SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants. Image Credit: Naeblys/Shutterstock.comBackground SARS-CoV-2 evolution has led to […]

Microbial decoration enhances drug delivery specificity and safety

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Microorganisms are mostly distributed on the surface of our skin and intestines and have crucial roles in physiologic and metabolic processes, such as digestion and immunity, which are closely related to diseases. Recently, microorganisms have received great attention and have been applied in various aspects of […]

Study reveals impact of hybrid immunity and booster vaccination on antibody waning

In a recent study published in npj Vaccines, researchers conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to examine the decline in neutralizing antibody (nAb) titers following COVID-19 vaccination. The study systematically reviewed the evidence of antibody waning within the first six months after receiving the last dose of the primary COVID-19 vaccination compared to booster […]

New insights into why obesity puts individuals at risk for severe influenza

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers used blood and airway sampling of morbidly obese individuals and murine models to elucidate the mechanisms underpinning severe cases of influenza among the obese population. Study: Obesity dysregulates the pulmonary antiviral immune response. Image Credit: Jarun Ontakrai/Shutterstock.com Background Their findings reveal that obesity induces deficits in […]

Is it time to rethink COVID-19 boosters? New study dives into variant-specific vaccines

A recent study published in the journal Science discussed variant-adapted boosters for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have decreased the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the waning of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) and the emergence of variants of concern (VOCs) have reduced the efficacy of vaccines, prompting […]

Breast milk microbiome changes after COVID-19 vaccination, linked to enhanced infant protection

In a recent study published in the journal npj Vaccines, researchers investigated whether the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine could alter the breast milk microbiome and ways in which the changes impact breast milk antibody titers. Vaccine-induced antibodies in breast milk confer immunity to newborns against SARS-CoV-2. However, […]
