Herpesvirus-6 and Epstein–Barr virus reactivation across acute SARS-CoV-2 patients

In a new story, scientists explored human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) and Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) reactivation among acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.

FAU and Tel Aviv researchers receive grant to tackle Alzheimer’s-related mood disorders

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia affecting an estimated 6.3 million Americans age 65 and older. Without the development of medical breakthroughs to prevent, treat, slow or cure AD that number could grow to 13.8 million by 2060.

High-throughput proteomics reveals pregnancy-specific responses to COVID-19

Researchers evaluated pregnancy-specific responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

How does the maternal immune response balance SARS-CoV-2 antiviral responses with transplacental transfer of protection to the fetus?

Researchers found that in SARS-CoV-2 maternal infection, the balance between antiviral response and transplacental transfer of humoral and cellular protection relies on maternal IL-6 and IL10.

The role of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells induced by infection, vaccination, or their combination in disease protection

Researchers evaluated how SARS-CoV-2-specific-T lymphocytes induced by infection, vaccination, or both conferred protection against severe COVID-19.

Investigating the missing link between COVID-19 and anosmia

A new study evaluated how SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to anosmia via chromatin structure disruption and OR dysregulation. For this purpose, publicly available Hi-C data of OSNs of SARS-CoV-2-infected and control human subjects were used.

Clinicopathological correlations and obstetric management of pregnant women with monkeypox virus infection

Researchers described the impact, potential mechanisms, and management of maternal and fetal monkeypox virus infections.

“Drug factory” implants show promise in eradicating mesothelioma tumors

Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine researchers have shown they can eradicate advanced-stage mesothelioma tumors in mice in just a few days with a treatment combining Rice's cytokine "drug factory" implants and a checkpoint inhibitor drug.

Scientists begin phase 2 clinical trials of lupus pill

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that attacks organs and can be fatal. There's no cure, so current treatments aim to limit damage and ameliorate symptoms.

Cedars-Sinai investigators propose a theory for the cause of post-COVID syndromes

Investigators at Cedars-Sinai have proposed a theory for how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, infects the body. Their hypothesis, published in Frontiers in Immunology, could explain why some people still have symptoms long after the initial infection.

Single-dose therapeutic interfering particle lowers SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis and shedding among hamsters

Researchers reported that a single-dose therapeutic interfering particle (TIP) lowers SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis and shedding among hamsters.

Assessment of replicon ribonucleic acid COVID-19 vaccine in nonhuman primates

Researchers explored the immunogenicity of a replicon ribonucleic acid (repRNA) COVID-19 vaccine, repRNA-CoV2S, in pigtail macaques.

Azelastine nasal spray could decrease SARS-CoV-2 load

A new study illustrated that early azelastine nasal spray therapy might lower the SARS-CoV-2 load among virus-infected patients.

Researchers develop new method for visualizing single cell protein secretion with stunning resolution

We have recently witnessed the stunning images of distant galaxies revealed by the James Webb telescope, which were previously visible only as blurry spots.

Research suggests a new nanomedicine strategy for treatment of IBD patients

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), also known as "green cancer", is a chronic, non-specific disease of the intestine. IBD includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, both of which tend to be debilitating, lifelong conditions that can prove fatal in severe cases. Currently, there is no cure for IBD. The main clinical treatments are drugs such as aminosalicylic acid preparations and corticosteroids, but they are often accompanied by gastrointestinal problems, anemia, and various intestinal complications. Finding alternative, more effective options is a priority for researchers.

Mice study reveals hepatic consequences of exposure to endocrine disrupting chemical mixtures

We are increasingly being exposed to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that interfere with the normal functioning of our hormones. Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, which are widely used in consumer products including plastics, aluminum cans, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, are well-known EDCs.

Disease progression in the rhesus macaque model upon inoculation with the Delta, Omicron BA.1, and Omicron BA.2 variants

Researchers compared the severity levels of disease caused by different SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern in the rhesus macaque model.

A combined influenza and COVID-19 mRNA vaccine

A combined mRNA vaccine is capable of inducing broad and durable protection against co-infection with SARS-CoV-2 and IAV,

Common viruses may play a role in some cases of Alzheimer's disease

Researchers from Oxford's Institute of Population Ageing, Tufts University and the University of Manchester have discovered that common viruses appear to play a role in some cases of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Pediatric adjuvant formulation offers protection against RSV in newborns

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading global cause of death in children under age 5 and lacks an effective vaccine. In a study from the Precision Vaccines Program at Boston Children's Hospital, a new vaccine formulation protected newborn mice against infection and evoked strong responses in immune cells from human newborns in the laboratory. Results were reported August 2 in Nature Communications.
