NewsHuman immune system evolves in the post-Omicron era
New research suggests that human immune responses are changing in order to combat the never-ending emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants.
-
NewsBlood analysis in patients finds characteristics of Long Covid
Analysis of blood samples from patients with Long Covid – a debilitating condition with unknown causes – has revealed serum protein changes as the likely culprit.
-
NewsSARS-CoV-2 can infect dopamine neurons, causing senescence
A new study has reported that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID, can infect dopamine neurons in the brain and trigger senescence - when a cell loses the ability to grow and divide.
-
NewsNew study to examine very rare adverse events linked to COVID-19 vaccines
A multimillion-dollar global initiative will study causes and risk factors, to ensure safer vaccines are ready for the next potential pandemic.
-
NewsVaccine speeds up the production of antibodies against Covid
A new vaccine uses preexisting immunity to a separate virus (the influenza virus) to help kickstart the process of making antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.
-
NewsGenotyping technology detects Covid variants more quickly and cheaply than ever
A new study reveals that the technique detects new variants almost a week more quickly than traditional whole genome sequencing methods.
-
NewsGlowing COVID-19 diagnostic test prototype produces results in one minute
Researchers have unveiled a potential COVID-19 test inspired by bioluminescence. Using a molecule found in crustaceans, they have developed a rapid approach that detects SARS-CoV-2 protein comparably to one used in vaccine research.
-
NewsNonpharmaceutical interventions saved lives during COVID’s first wave, study shows
Research reveals that masking, shelter-in-place and other measures reduced growth rates of deaths, case numbers and hospitalizations in early 2020.
-
NewsCOVID-19 vaccine reduces long COVID in children
Researchers have found that vaccination of children provides moderate protection against long COVID. Vaccination also has a stronger effect in adolescents, who have a higher risk of developing long COVID than young children.
-
NewsFirst all-UK study of 67m people reveals consequences of missed COVID-19 vaccines
The first research study of the entire UK population highlights gaps in COVID-19 vaccine coverage. Between a third and a half of the population had not had the recommended number of COVID vaccinations and boosters by summer 2022.
-
NewsResaerchers design thermostable vaccine candidate for SARS-CoV-2 variants
Researchers report the design of a synthetic antigen that can be manufactured as a potential COVID-19 vaccine candidate - it is effective against all current strains of SARS-CoV-2 and can be quickly adapted for future variants as well.
-
NewsWastewater surveillance is key tool in keeping schools open during public health emergencies
The study focused on a middle and high school campus in Jefferson County, New York, serving 600 students, and compared results from wastewater surveillance to COVID-19 case trends.
-
NewsScientists discover how ultraviolet light degrades coronavirus
New research has revealed how light can be used to destroy infectious coronavirus particles that contaminate surfaces.
-
NewsNasal spray with antibodies could prevent COVID-19
Researchers have shown that nasal drops with IgA antibodies can protect mice from SARS-CoV-2 infection.
-
NewsPirola variant of Covid rediscovers entry pathway into lung cells
Researchers have discovered that the Pirola variant enters lung cells with high efficiency and uses the cellular enzyme TMPRSS2 for entry, thereby exhibiting parallels to variants Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta.
-
NewsSickle cell raises COVID-19 risk, but vaccination lags
Adults with sickle cell disease around half as likely to have had initial doses as people without sickle cell disease, a study in Michigan shows.
-
NewsPotential nasal COVID-19 vaccine candidate offers better and longer protection
Study shows that administering a COVID-19 vaccine as a nasal spray rather than a subcutaneous injection enhances the body’s long-term immune memory, thereby increasing the vaccine’s overall effectiveness.
-
NewsPredominantly plant-based or vegetarian diet linked to 39% lower odds of COVID-19
A predominantly plant-based or vegetarian diet is linked to 39% lower odds of COVID-19 infection, finds new research.
-
NewsBioExcel-CV19 offers breakthrough in understanding COVID-19 proteins
Designed to meet the urgent need for insights into the molecular intricacies of SARS-CoV-2 infection, BioExcel-CV19 is a repository for Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations.

NewsNew AI tool accurately detects COVID-19 from chest X-rays
Researchers have developed a groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that can rapidly detect COVID-19 from chest X-rays with more than 98% accuracy.
