Even vulnerable people, who are at risk of severe Covid-19, achieved good antibody levels after three doses of mRNA vaccine. This is shown by a study from the University of Gothenburg on patients having undergone a bone...
Nine out of 10 U.S. academic scientists surveyed believe scientists have a part to play in reducing vaccine hesitancy among the public, a research team from Arizona State University’s Center for Science, Technology and...
Scientists at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a breath test that quickly identifies those who are infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. The device requires only one or two breaths and provides...
Artificial intelligence is a new addition to the infectious disease researcher’s toolbox. Yet in merely half a decade, AI has accelerated progress on some of the most urgent issues in medical science and public health...
International scientists have evaluated molecular mechanisms responsible for heterogeneous responses to influenza vaccination among older adults. They have identified potential immunological mediators that suppress the...
How do you design a vaccine against a virus not yet known to man? Doing so could help arm us against future pandemics, by rapidly compressing the time it takes to develop protective vaccines. Most vaccines work by...
The global team behind the research, published in Nature Nanotechnology, developed a way to direct the assembly of virus capsids – the protein shell of viruses – at physiological conditions in a precise and programmable...
Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19, also known as post-COVID-19 conditions or long COVID, are a growing cause for concern. Beating COVID-19 is unfortunately no longer limited to surviving the infection, as lingering...
When activated, a protein found in cells that line the body’s tissues can inhibit viral spread — offering the potential for a new defense against COVID-19. Vaccines that spur the creation of antibodies designed to...
Researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell’s Ithaca campus, Singapore University of Technology and Design, and San Jose State University in California have developed a model for optimizing the dispensing of...
