Advantages of Intranasal COVID-19 Vaccinations Over Injections
Of the nearly 100 SARS-CoV-2 vaccines currently undergoing clinical trials, only seven are delivered intranasally — despite this vaccine type’s long success in providing protection…

A seemingly unremarkable observation — greasy hair — showed Penn researchers how the immune system could be targeted to reverse obesity Treating obese mice with…
Intranasal vaccination is needle-free and elicits immunity at the site of infection, the respiratory tract. There are many reasons that an intranasal vaccine against the…
New research has identified a potential treatment that could improve the human immune system’s ability to search out and destroy cancer cells within the body….
Allergists encourage patients to complete their vaccination series. Second COVID-19 mRNA vaccine dose found safe following allergic reactions to first dose. In a multi-hospital analysis…
Cells taken from patients at the time of diagnosis who later developed severe COVID-19 show a muted antiviral response, study finds. Researchers studied cells collected…
A new University of Southern California (USC) study of a common, yet poorly understood type of white blood cell reveals the immune cell’s response to…
Harnessing the combined power of Vitamin C and TET proteins may give scientists a leg up in treating autoimmune diseases. You can’t make a banana…
Testing of an entire Italian town shows antibody levels remain high nine months after SARS-CoV-2 infection, whether symptomatic or asymptomatic. Researchers from the University of…
A UC San Francisco study has found that the antibiotic azithromycin was no more effective than a placebo in preventing symptoms of COVID-19 among non-hospitalized…
An important lesson for vaccine design. Australian scientists researching how our immune system responds to COVID-19 have revealed that those infected by early variants in…
You’re as old as your immune system. Investigators at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging have built…
A new study presented at this year’s European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) and published in The Lancet Microbe, shows that antibodies generated…
Being Clean and Hygienic Need Not Impair Childhood Immunity The theory that modern society is too clean, leading to defective immune systems in children, should…
Scientists at Uppsala University have discovered lymph node-like structures close to the tumor in brain cancer patients, where immune cells can be activated to attack…
Using a method developed for HIV, scientists have identified stable T cell vaccine targets in SARS-CoV-2. These stable targets, known as highly networked epitopes, are…
By identifying the mechanism of toxicity induced by immunotherapies, scientists from UNIGE and from the Harvard Medical School are paving the way for cancer treatments…
Study’s findings provide reassurance to individuals with concerns about vaccination. Skin problems such as itchiness, rashes, hives, and swelling can occur in some individuals after…
