Antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 are higher in infants than in mothers

Researchers characterize the functional and binding antibody responses against SARS-CoV-2 in postpartum women and their infected infants.

New formulation can provide up to six months of full protection against HIV

For people at high risk of contracting HIV, missing doses of their daily HIV prevention pills can have big consequences. In some cases, missing a pill can lead to lack of protection against the virus.

EGFR protein plays a decisive role in the penetration of hepatitis E virus into cells

A certain surface protein is crucial to allow the hepatitis E virus to enter cells. Medication can suppress it.

Recent findings on T-cell immunity induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination in immunocompromised individuals

Researchers discussed studies that explored T-cell immunity induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination in cancer patients, individuals with HIV, and recipients of solid organ transplants.

Study shows activation of pulmonary macrophages by SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein

In a recent study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, researchers investigated the effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) glycoprotein on human lung macrophage (HLM) activation and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) expression in human lung macrophages.

Understanding the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and periodontitis

In a recent review published in the journal International Journal of Molecular Sciences, researchers reviewed existing data on the association between periodontitis and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Study reports two cases of ocular MPox in HIV-infected patients

Researchers review the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of ocular Mpox syndrome in men living with HIV infection.

A secret weapon in preventing the next pandemic: Fruit bats

More than four dozen Jamaican fruit bats destined for a lab in Bozeman, Montana, are set to become part of an experiment with an ambitious goal: predicting the next global pandemic.

New method can control the growth of a substance known to cause kidney stones in dolphins

In the body, crystals – made of things such as calcium or a collection of urine – form masses that can cause pain and serious health conditions.

5 Feb 2023

The impact of viral infections on the human endocrine system

Researchers briefly outlined how viral infections trigger endocrinopathies in humans.

Research project aims to shed new light on how proteins in viruses bind to molecules

The way in which molecules interact forms the basis of life and treating illness. But what does it look like when a viral protein meets and binds to molecules like those found in medications? A new research project has been awarded DKK 65 million by the European Research Council and will now aim to shed light on this hitherto invisible process.

Analysis of rebound virus suggests two separate reservoirs of latent HIV in patients

When people living with HIV take antiviral therapy (ART), their viral loads are driven so low that a standard blood test cannot detect the virus.

1 Feb 2023

Side-effects and costs are important issues for users of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, survey finds

A new survey finds that men who would be potential users of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medication prefer long-acting injections over pills, but rank side effects and costs as the most important issues for them in considering whether to take PrEP.

Study demonstrates intrahost MPXV variation within a single lesion

Researchers reported on the clinical and molecular characteristics of MPXV infections in Finland.

New EV platform could help streamline the development and delivery of vaccines worldwide

To many, EV stands for "electric vehicle." To researchers at Harvard University and the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, it's shorthand for another vehicle -; this one nanoscopic -; that might help streamline the development and delivery of vaccines worldwide.

NCI awards $3.5 million grant to eliminate cervical cancer among women with HIV in low-resource countries

Weill Cornell Medicine, Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla., and the University of North Carolina have received a $3.5 million, five-year grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, to improve screening and preventative treatment of cervical cancer for women living with HIV in low-resource countries.

Human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus detection using ribonucleic acid sequencing among smokers

Researchers identified serological Hepatitis C virus (HCV) signatures and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) signatures through the secondary utilization of ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis data among previous and existing smokers with or without COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
