Evidence of croup associated with SARS-CoV-2

A new study published in the Journal of Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society aimed to characterize the clinical features of SARS-CoV-2-associated croup among children presenting to the ED during the phase when Omicron variant transmission was high.

Infection with SARS-CoV-2 results in antibodies against common colds

A study published in the journal Science Advances uses electron microscopy-based polyclonal epitope mapping (EMPEM) methodology to elucidate the spike epitopes of β-HCoV targeted by preexisting serum antibodies and compares them to the epitopes targeted by antibodies elicited by SARS-CoV-2 infection using electron microscopy-based polyclonal epitope mapping (EMPEM) methodology.

Cedars-Sinai geriatricians create program to catch at-risk older adults before they fall

Falls and broken bones are common among older adults, but they're not a natural part of aging. That's why Cedars-Sinai geriatricians created a bone health and falls risk consultation program to catch at-risk people before they break a bone or help them avoid another fracture in the future.

Mitosis in moss plants could be far more similar to animal cell division than previously thought

For a new plant to grow from a seed, cells need to divide numerous times. Daughter cells can each take on different tasks and sometimes vary in size. How plants determine the plane of cell division in this process, known as mitosis, is being researched by Prof. Dr. Ralf Reski and Dr. Elena Kozgunova from the University of Freiburg in a joint effort with Prof. Dr. Gohta Goshima from Nagoya University.

A guide to help you keep up with the omicron subvariants

Two years into the coronavirus pandemic, Americans can be forgiven if they've lost track of the latest variants circulating nationally and around the world. We've heard of the alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and omicron variants, but a new Greek-letter variant hasn't come onto the scene in almost half a year.
