All patients with rheumatic disorders recommended to receive pneumococcal vaccine

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and other rheumatic conditions are more at risk for complications and death from pneumonia, meningitis, and other bacterial infections, yet most have not been vaccinated against infection.

Alveolar macrophages present as antigens to promote virus-specific CD8+ T cell expansion

The human immune system is a highly complex network of cells, signals, and responses that is tightly regulated to ensure that the body can fight off infection without damaging its own tissues.

A genome-based comparison of SARS-CoV-2 XBB recombinant and its parental lineage

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers in Italy performed a genome-based comparison of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) XBB recombinant with its parental lineages.

New software accurately infers continental ancestry from tumor DNA and RNA

Could knowing where your ancestors came from be the key to better cancer treatments? Maybe, but where would that key fit? How can we trace cancer's ancestral roots to modern-day solutions?

Preoptic neurons play key role in regulating body temperature in mammals, study shows

A research group at Nagoya University in Japan has reported that a group of neurons, called EP3 neurons, in the preoptic area of the brain play a key role in regulating body temperature in mammals.

Study reveals why some germinal centers persist for months rather than weeks

If B cells are the munitions factories of the immune system, manufacturing antibodies to neutralize harmful pathogens, then the tiny biological structures known as germinal centers are its weapons-development facilities.

People eligible for free winter vaccines urged to come forward over the Christmas holiday

All those eligible for their free winter vaccines are being urged to come forward as soon as possible for their free jabs over the Christmas holiday, as hospitalizations for flu and Covid continue to rise.

Seasonal cooks’ secret sauce: Heaping nutrition and cultural zest

Oldways Ambassadors Brenda Atchison and Glorya Fernandez walked a KHN reporter through two cooking demonstrations to showcase modern takes on cultural classics — like a cold black-eyed pea salad just in time for the new year, and a garlicky dill mojo sauce served over spinach salad.

Novel mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccine encoding four mpox virus surface proteins generates robust immune responses against orthopoxviruses

Researchers described a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-lipid nanoparticle monkeypox vaccine encoding four conserved monkeypox virus surface proteins which induced monkeypox virus-specific immunity and elicited heterologous protection when challenged with lethal vaccinia virus.

23 Dec 2022

Cystic fibrosis drug shows promise to treat pneumonia

Pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 and pneumococcus can cause severe pneumonia. If the airways then fill with fluid, the patient risks developing acute respiratory distress syndrome.

NIH scientists use patient stem cells and 3D bioprinting to produce eye tissue

Scientists used patient stem cells and 3D bioprinting to produce eye tissue that will advance understanding of the mechanisms of blinding diseases.

New methods can advance the development of rapid diagnostics for many infectious diseases

Two companion studies report new artificial intelligence approaches for identification of molecular "fingerprints" for specific infections. The methods, used here to derive a fingerprint for COVID-19, can advance the development of rapid diagnostics for many infectious diseases.

SARS-CoV-2 and human cold coronavirus OC43 inhibit stress granule formation through Nsp15 protein

Researchers investigated the mechanisms through which the human common cold Betacoronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) inhibit the formation of stress granules.

Temperature sensitive, shear-thinning hydrogel hemostat works rapidly to stop bleeding from wounds

As outlined in their recent publication in Biomaterials Science, researchers from the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation, (TIBI), have developed an injectable, temperature sensitive, shear-thinning hydrogel (T-STH) hemostat that works rapidly at body temperature to stop bleeding from a wound.
