A single dose of vaccine boosts protection against SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus variants – but only...
A single dose of vaccine boosts protection against SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus variants, but only in those with previous COVID-19, a study has found.
In those who have not previously been infected and have so far only...
New wearable sensor can quantifies itch
Itch torments its sufferers and can be as debilitating as chronic pain.
But it's a hard symptom to measure - particularly for the 10 million U.S. children with atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema. They...
Synthetic STAR T cells showed potent activity against solid tumor cells
Immunobiologists in China have designed a synthetic T cell receptor for anticancer therapy, engineering the protein not only with a capability to seek and destroy solid tumors, but endowing this cancer fighting weapon with...
Babies born of test-positive mothers are more likely to be born early – extremely...
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and the Public Health Agency of Sweden have studied newborn babies whose mothers tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy or childbirth.
The results show that although babies born of test-positive...
Why is SARS-CoV-2 deadly and different?
A new study is drawing the most detailed picture yet of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the lung, revealing mechanisms that result in lethal COVID-19, and may explain long-term complications and show how COVID-19 differs from...
People with type 2 diabetes tend to have poorer muscle function than others
People with type 2 diabetes tend to have poorer muscle function than others. Now a research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered that in type 2 diabetes, a specific gene is of...

A natural compound previously demonstrated to counteract aspects of aging and improve metabolic health in mice has clinically relevant effects in people, according to new research at Washington University School of Medicine in St....
SARS-CoV-2: una molecola naturale può aiutare il coronavirus a sfuggire agli anticorpi
I ricercatori hanno scoperto che una molecola naturale può bloccare efficacemente il legame di un sottoinsieme di anticorpi umani al SARS-CoV-2.
La scoperta può aiutare a spiegare perché alcuni pazienti COVID-19 possono ammalarsi gravemente nonostante abbiano alti...
SARS-CoV-2: A natural molecule can help coronavirus escape antibodies
Researchers have found that a natural molecule can effectively block the binding of a subset of human antibodies to SARS-CoV-2.
The discovery may help explain why some COVID-19 patients can become severely ill despite...
Researchers identify new blood markers may reveal heart attack in chest pain patients
A patient arrives at hospital with chest pain. Doctors suspect heart attack and rapid diagnosis is important, but the tests to confirm it can be invasive and it could easily be something else. Could...
Differenze nella risposta immunitaria al COVID-19 tra le persone senza sintomi e quelle che...
Il più grande studio di questo tipo nel Regno Unito ha identificato differenze nella risposta immunitaria al COVID-19 tra le persone senza sintomi e quelle che soffrono di una reazione più grave al virus.
I...
