Just one dose of a new nanoparticle-based COVID-19 vaccine was enough to produce an immune response in animals on track with vaccines currently in clinical use. And with minor changes, Northwestern University...
The ongoing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, along with the continuous transmission of influenza viruses and other coronaviruses, remains a serious global threat to public health...
Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) and University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine have identified a powerful combination of antivirals to treat COVID-19. The researchers...
People previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 are substantially protected against COVID-19 for several months, even in the absence of vaccination, a study found. Beyond that, however, their natural immunity wanes but may...
The effectiveness of face masks has been a hotly debated topic since the emergence of COVID-19. However, a new study by researchers at the University of Central Florida offers more evidence that they work. In a study...
COVID-19 vaccination provides a foundation of protection that’s enhanced by breakthrough infection; ‘the key is to get vaccinated’ Breakthrough infections greatly enhance immune response to variants of the virus that...
A growing body of scientific evidence, considered together with ecological reality, strongly suggest that novel coronaviruses will continue to infect bats and other animal reservoirs and potentially emerge to pose a...
Breathe in, breathe out. That’s how easy it is for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, to enter your nose. And though remarkable progress has been made in developing intramuscular vaccines against SARS-CoV- 2...
Scientists believe that vaccinating the entire global population is the key to contain the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This pandemic is caused by the rapid outbreak of a ribonucleic acid (RNA)...
A recent US study, currently available on bioRxiv preprint server, implies that vaccination with bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) can limit the infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV...
