Historical trauma, transgression shape Black and Indigenous Americans’ views about outdoor recreation

The closure of a gate at a national wildlife refuge in Denver about a decade ago ensured protection for bison, bald eagles and other wildlife inside, but also created a physical and metaphorical barrier for people living in diverse communities just outside the fence.

T-cell responses linked with protection from SARS-CoV-2 infection in vaccinated individuals with or without cancer

T-cell responses directed against the receptor-binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein were associated with protection from SARS-CoV-2 infection in vaccinated individuals with or without cancer, with lower T-cell responses observed in patients with blood cancers.

Study identifies a protein complex critical for regulating apoptosis and necroptosis

Cell death plays an important role in normal human development and health but requires tightly orchestrated balance to avert disease. Too much can trigger a massive inflammatory immune response that damages tissues and organs. Not enough can interfere with the body's ability to fight infection or lead to cancer.

Prescribing of ineffective COVID drugs could have been influenced by political affiliation

Two treatments that have been shown to be ineffective against COVID-19—hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin—were more heavily prescribed in the latter part of 2020 in U.S. counties with a higher Republican vote share in the 2020 presidential election, according to a new research letter co-authored by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Study characterizes COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness at longer dose intervals

Researchers conducted a prospective cohort study to assess the level and durability of protection offered by two doses of COVID-19 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 infection in participants with no history of a previous infection.

Research provides a stronger connection between autoantibody formation and clotting in COVID-19

Scientists have discovered that "rogue" antibodies found circulating in the blood of COVID-19 patients have the potential to cause cells to lose their resistance to clotting.

Study reports a highly attenuated SARS-CoV-2 that could serve as a live-attenuated vaccine platform

The research showed a highly attenuated SARS-CoV-2 strain that might be used as a live-attenuated vaccine platform and a BSL-2 experimental system.

Study reveals the structural, functional landscape of neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is continuously evolving and structural changes to the virus may impact the efficacy of antibody therapies and vaccines.

SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitor, nirmatrelvir, found to reduce COVID-19 progression and death

In a new study, researchers evaluated the efficacy and safety of nirmatrelvir in mild to moderate COVID-19 patients who were at high risk of severe COVID-19 disease.

VA researchers shine light on the dangerous mental health consequences of COVID-19

The most menacing fallout from COVID-19 often shows itself only after the initial "acute" infection passes. A team of VA researchers has been shining a light on various dangerous and enduring consequences that can arise following the initial COVID bout. These COVID complications include mental health disorders.
