Students starting school and college in September are at increased risk of serious illnesses

A leading testing expert fears a perfect storm of infections in September as students start at schools and colleges. School closures during Covid lockdowns mean 1-in-8 students starting university this year remains unprotected against meningitis. Concern is growing early symptoms may be confused with freshers’ flu.

Boosters slow antibody waning but hit a ceiling: Long-term COVID study reveals limits of immunity

The study tracks the long-term kinetics of antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 after vaccination and infections in New York healthcare workers from 2020 to 2023. It reveals that antibody waning is slower after booster shots, but there's an upper limit to antibody levels, which gradually lowers with repeated SARS-CoV-2 exposures and vaccinations.

Is the rapid evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in white-tailed deer complicating our fight against the pandemic?

New study reveals rapid evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in Ohio's white-tailed deer population, with a 25% seroprevalence rate. The findings suggest a significant risk of animal-to-human transmission and indicate the virus evolves faster in deer than in humans.

Cracking the code on post-vaccine COVID protection

The study investigates the relationship between antibody levels and behavioral factors in 176 adults vaccinated with Pfizer's BNT162b2, finding that higher levels of specific antibodies correlate with greater protection against symptomatic COVID-19. It also suggests that current commercial assays may need reformatting for better risk prediction.

Fourth COVID-19 booster supercharges antibody defense in older adults, study says

The study finds that the fourth dose of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine significantly boosts neutralizing antibody levels in the elderly, providing enhanced protection against new SARS-CoV-2 variants like Omicron. This supports the efficacy of booster shots for older populations in combating COVID-19.

New omicron variants can reinfect people who were infected with earlier variants

The omicron variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which have rapidly spread around the world over the past year, latch onto our cells more tightly, invade them more efficiently, and elude many of the antibodies induced by previous infections and vaccines.

New oral agent shows promise in treatment of relapsed multiple myeloma

A new agent that subverts myeloma cells from within while also subjecting them to an immune system attack produced impressive responses in combination with dexamethasone in patients with multiple myeloma that had relapsed and stopped responding to all currently available therapies, a clinical trial conducted by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and around the world has found.
