‘Emergency’ or not, covid is still killing people. Here’s what doctors advise to stay safe.

With around 20,000 people dying of covid in the United States since the start of October, and tens of thousands more abroad, the covid pandemic clearly isn’t over. However, the crisis response is, since the World Health Organization and the Biden administration ended their declared health emergencies last year. Let’s not confuse the terms “pandemic” […]

Universal Coronavirus vaccine could save billions in U.S., new study suggests

In a recent study published in eClinicalMedicine, researchers evaluated the epidemiologic, clinical, and economic value of a universal coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine under varying circumstances, such as the advent of a new coronavirus, using a computational simulation model. Study: The potential epidemiologic, clinical, and economic value of a universal coronavirus vaccine: a modelling study. Image […]

There’s a new Covid-19 variant and cases are ticking up. What do you need to know?

It’s winter, that cozy season that brings crackling fireplaces, indoor gatherings — and a wave of respiratory illness. Nearly four years since the pandemic emerged, people are growing weary of dealing with it, but the virus is not done with us. Nationally, a sharp uptick in emergency room visits and hospitalizations for covid-19, influenza, and […]

Eastern equine encephalitis virus study uncovers decoy molecule that protects against deadly brain infection

An atomic-level investigation of how Eastern equine encephalitis virus binds to a key receptor and gets inside of cells also has enabled the discovery of a decoy molecule that protects against the potentially deadly brain infection, in mice. The study, from researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is published Jan. 3 […]

New model links RNA editing glitch to early-stage type 1 diabetes

Hebrew University study proposes a new model suggesting that disrupted RNA editing within pancreatic beta cells might initiate an inflammatory response akin to early-stage type 1 diabetes. This new perspective challenges the long-held belief of viral involvement, offering potential implications for treatments and cures. A recent study by researchers at the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School, […]

Previously unrecognized class of antibodies can broadly neutralize multiple virus strains

Researchers have identified a previously unrecognized class of antibodies-;immune system proteins that protect against disease-;that appear capable of neutralizing multiple forms of flu virus. These findings, which could contribute to development of more broadly protective flu vaccines, will publish December 21st by Holly Simmons of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, US, and colleagues […]

Surge in respiratory illnesses reported in China

Chinese authorities from the National Health Commission have reported an increase in incidence of respiratory diseases in China. This increase has been attributed to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions and the circulation of known pathogens such as influenza, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and COVID-19. These are all common pathogens but due to changes […]

Scientists succeed in mapping a central part of the immune system

A new paper in Science Advances details how scientists have succeeded in mapping a central part of the immune system – the HLA class II molecules – while accurately predicting how they display fragments of pathogens on the surface of cells. When we are sick, our immune system – in curing us – relies on […]

Study estimates hepatitis C infection seroprevalence in pregnant women

In a recent article published in eClinicalMedicine, researchers estimate the seroprevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in pregnant women globally and in World Health Organization (WHO)-specific regions. Study: Hepatitis C infection seroprevalence in pregnant women worldwide: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Image Credit: fotovapl / Shutterstock.com Background Mother-to-child/vertical transmission (MTCT) is not a common HCV infection route. […]

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 […]
