New research examines how COVID-19 affects immune-compromised people

Researchers evaluate outcomes in immunocompromised patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

Penn scientists discover a cellular pathway that keeps Ebola virus from exiting human cells

In their evolutionary battle for survival, viruses have developed strategies to spark and perpetuate infection. Once inside a host cell, the Ebola virus, for example, hijacks molecular pathways to replicate itself and eventually make its way back out of the cell into the bloodstream, where it can spread further.

Experimental vaccine completely protects cynomolgus macaques against lethal Sudan virus

A National Institutes of Health research group with extensive experience studying ebolavirus countermeasures has successfully developed a vaccine against Sudan virus (SUDV) based on the licensed Ebola virus (EBOV) vaccine.

The effectiveness of intranasal COVID-19 vaccination in healthy adults

A recent study discusses the safety profiles and immunogenicity of the nasal BBV154 COVID-19 vaccine in healthy adults.

Are plasma levels of axonal damage and neuronal degeneration makers altered in COVID-19 patients without major neurological manifestations?

A recent study evaluated whether plasma levels of NfL, T-tau, and GFAP changed in SARS-CoV-2-infected patients with or without major neurological manifestations.

The human body develops strategies to prevent the immune response from overshooting its mark

The signaling molecules of the immune system should trigger a response only where necessary. To prevent a life-threatening spread to the rest of the body, connective tissue can absorb these molecules like a sponge.

SARS-CoV-2 infections on French mink farms after one year of COVID-19

A new paper, which appears on the bioRxiv* preprint server, describes the investigation of all French mink farms towards the end of 2020. This was to maximize the chances of identifying SARS-CoV-2 infection in these animals at any time over the past year.

What are the predictors of in-hospital mortality in cancer patients with COVID-19?

A new study in PLoS ONE aimed to analyze the variables associated with in-hospital mortality in COVID-19-positive cancer patients who were presented to the ED.

The impact of viral infections on the human endocrine system

Researchers briefly outlined how viral infections trigger endocrinopathies in humans.

3 Feb 2023

Pulmonary surfactant-mediated inflammatory response against SARS-CoV-2

Researchers discuss the role of a surfactant-mediated inflammatory response employed by human lungs against SARS-CoV-2.

3 Feb 2023

The relationship between natural plant extracts and SARS-CoV-2

Researchers explored plants as an extensive resource of molecules with potential therapeutic action against SARS-CoV-2 and debunked misconceptions.

Molnupiravir-related mutational signatures among COVID-19 patients

Researchers explore a mutational signature related to molnupiravir in SARS-CoV-2 sequencing datasets.

3 Feb 2023

New electrochemical sensing technology enables detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen-specific antibodies

Not all SARS-CoV-2 infections are created equal. We have learned this through multiple virus waves are taking their toll on the world's population.

Rutgers researcher maps dengue fever hotspots in Mexico

As many as one in five dengue fever deaths in the Americas occur in Mexico, and the rate of the disease's severity has been increasing for decades, according to the World Health Organization.

Exploring long- and short-term mortalities among COVID-19 patients

Researchers assessed the longer- and short-term all-cause mortalities among severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected patients.

2 Feb 2023

Multispecies cluster of SARS-CoV-2 infections associated with an infected African lion

A recent paper described, for the first time, the transmission of this virus from an animal in a zoo to zoo employees.

BCG vaccine does not protect elderly with co-morbidities against COVID-19

The tuberculosis vaccine (or BCG vaccine) does not protect elderly with co-morbidities against disease symptoms caused by a coronavirus infection.

2 Feb 2023

Researchers report a heterologous vaccination strategy against IBV in Chickens

Researchers reported on the immunogenicity of a heterologous vaccine regimen against IBV, comprising prime doses of QAC-encapsulated plasmid and a booster dose of MVA.

2 Feb 2023

Social changes during the COVID-19 pandemic could have exacerbated student burnout

Researchers conducted a cross-sectional predictive analysis of first-year psychology students to evaluate the incidence of burnout syndrome among adolescent university students and examine the differences in burnout levels according to personalities and anxiety due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

2 Feb 2023

Neutralizing antibodies to Toscana and Sandfly Fever Sicilian virus found in quails

The quail could be the unknown reservoir of the Toscana virus (TOSV) and the Sandfly Fever Sicilian virus (SFSV), mosquito-borne pathogens that can infect domestic animals and also cause disease in humans.
