A groundbreaking study reveals that SARS-CoV-2 can linger in the lungs for months, eluding detection and potentially leading to long COVID, due to failures in…
LJI scientists harness bioinformatics to predict how T cells may adapt to fighting the highly mutated Pirola variant. In August, researchers detected a new SARS-CoV-2…
Researchers have discovered that misreading of therapeutic mRNAs by the cell’s decoding machinery can cause an unintended immune response in the body. They have identified…
New research says no. A recent study published in the European Journal of Neurology has shown that both COVID-19 and its vaccinations have minimal impact…
Why are severe courses of SARS-CoV-2 infection much less common in children and adolescents than in adults? Scientists at the German Cancer Research Center have…
Researchers at Rutgers have developed a machine-learning tool designed to help hospitals identify severe COVID-19 cases. This tool leverages patient age and data from five…
Exploring the efficacy of air treatment technologies in preventing respiratory illnesses like COVID-19, a systematic review emphasizes the lack of convincing evidence and the limited…
A surge in girls’ visits drove the trend, fueling longer waits for inpatient care. During the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a…
Using an image-guided minimally invasive procedure, researchers may be able to restore the sense of smell in patients who have suffered with long-COVID, according to…
Researchers argue that excessively wide definitions and the absence of comparison groups have skewed perceptions of risk, resulting in heightened public anxiety, escalated healthcare spending,…
Individuals suffering from prolonged symptoms such as brain fog, confusion, pain, and extreme fatigue following COVID-19 infection show distinct immune and hormonal responses compared to…
A new research study shows that human behavior, like lockdowns, influences the evolution of COVID-19, leading to strains that are more transmissible earlier in their…
A team of researchers from the Institut Pasteur utilized the National Reference Center for Meningococci’s database to analyze the progression of invasive meningococcal disease in…
New study shows that common genetic variation among people is responsible for mediating SARS-CoV-2 asymptomatic infection. Have you ever wondered why some people never became…
Scientists have discovered a gene variant, HLA-B*15:01, linked to asymptomatic COVID-19 cases, opening potential avenues for new treatments and vaccines. People who contract COVID-19 but…
While useful for killing pathogens including SARS-CoV-2, the lights may cause unwanted chemical reactions and should be used with ventilation, researchers say. Many efforts to…
Chemists discover the structures of open and closed states of the channel, which could help the development of antiviral drugs to reduce inflammation. MIT researchers…
