The binding and functional serologic responses to COVID-19 vaccination in children with history of MIS-C

Researchers evaluated the serological responses elicited by COVID-19 vaccinations in children who developed MIS-C following a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Fungi detected in 35 cancer types, often intracellular

In a recent article published in the journal Cell, researchers found fungal deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and cells at low abundances across many human cancers, with cancer type-dependent variations in fungus community composition and fungal-bacteriome interactions.

New family of adeno-associated viral vectors found to be better at delivering genetic cargo

Gene therapies can treat, even potentially cure, certain genetic diseases, but it is challenging to deliver the treatments to the parts of the body where they are needed.

Unique resource for identifying new biomarkers of environmental exposures in early life

Researchers now have a unique resource for identifying new biomarkers of environmental exposures in early life and understanding their health effects.

Eating more foods with higher Food Compass scores lunked to better long-term health outcomes

The idea that what we eat directly affects our health is ancient; Hippocrates recognized this as far back as 400 B.C. But, identifying healthier foods in the supermarket aisle and on restaurant menus is increasingly challenging.

Ultrapotent IgM antibodies isolated from a pregnant woman with Zika virus show promise as an immunotherapy

Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is a potentially teratogenic illness, causing up to one in seven infants born to infected mothers to suffer neurodevelopmental deficits. A new study published in the journal Cell shows that some mothers escape injury to their babies because they develop a highly potent neutralizing antibody.

Scientists develop RNA-targeting strategy to repair genetic cause of ALS and dementia

Scientists at UF Scripps Biomedical Research have developed a potential medicine for a leading cause of ALS and dementia that works by eliminating disease-causing segments of RNA. The

Shingles linked with higher long-term risk of major cardiovascular event

A new study by investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system, demonstrated that shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is associated with an almost 30% higher long-term risk of a major cardiovascular event such a stroke or heart attack.

Study shows how HIV protein permanently alters immune cells

Though antiretroviral therapy has made HIV a manageable disease, people living with HIV often suffer from chronic inflammation.

Discovery could lead to new mantle cell lymphoma drugs

A form of blood cancer known as mantle cell lymphoma is critically dependent on a protein that coordinates gene expression, such that blocking its activity with an experimental drug dramatically slows the growth of this lymphoma in preclinical tests, according to a study from Weill Cornell Medicine researchers.

Proteomic analysis identifies novel phenotypes associated with COVID-19 severity in circulating immune cells

In a recent study, researchers used proteomic analysis to identify novel immune cell phenotypes associated with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Previously unknown links between genetic factors in ASD identified

In a new study published today in Cell Reports, researchers from the Donald K. Johnson Eye Institute (DKJEI), part of the Krembil Research Institute at University Health Network, have identified previously unknown connections between genetic factors in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
