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.

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.

NewsCOVID-19 vaccine strongly effective for children and adolescents during delta and omicron
Children and adolescents who received one of the main COVID-19 vaccines were significantly protected and showed no increased signs of cardiac complications compared to young people who were not vaccinated.
-
NewsSARS-CoV-2 BA.2.86 less resistant to vaccine, but may be a problem in the lung
New research shows that the recently emerged BA.2.86 omicron subvariant of the virus that causes COVID-19 can be neutralized by bivalent mRNA vaccine-induced antibodies in the blood.

NewsNovel compound protects against infection by virus that causes COVID-19
Compounds that obstruct the “landing gear” of a range of harmful viruses can successfully protect against infection by the virus that causes COVID-19.
-
NewsA high-fat diet could make you vulnerable to harmful microbes, including Covid
A new study demonstrates that high-fat diets negatively impact genes linked not only to obesity, colon cancer and irritable bowels, but also to the immune system, brain function, and potentially COVID-19 risk.
