Study finds COVID booster maintains strong T cell response against Omicron

New study results posted to the medRxiv* preprint server found that COVID vaccine boosters increase immunity by enhancing T cell immune memory. In the face of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) Omicron variant, vaccinated people who had received a third booster shot maintained high T cell responses than people with naturally acquired immunity or vaccine-induced immunity from two doses of the SARS‑CoV‑2 vaccine.

Dexamethasone shown to upregulate innate and adaptive immune responses in COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome patients

In a new study, researchers used per protocol bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples after intubation to evaluate the transcriptomic profiles of the local pulmonary host responses during early-stage severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS), non-COVID-19 ARDS, and sepsis.

Even mild SARS-CoV-2 respiratory-only infection can cause long-term neurologic damage

A new bioRxiv* preprint study led by Michelle Monje of Stanford University in California finds that a mild COVID-19 infection can produce long-term neurological damage. Persistent cognitive complications are one of many symptoms of long COVID, and the latest results suggest the severity of COVID-19 induced brain fog is similar to cancer’s “chemobrain.”
