A new article published in The Lancet is arguing against broadly administering COVID-19 vaccine booster shots at this point in time. The article is co-authored by two of the US Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine advisors, both of whom recently … Continue reading Experts argue COVID-19 vaccine boosters should be delayed
A comprehensive new study, published in the journal Nature, is describing how the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 has so rapidly become dominant all over the world. The research offers thorough evidence Delta’s effective spread is through a combination of … Continue reading International study reveals how Delta came to dominate the pandemic
Scientists at Oxford have demonstrated a powerful pairing – a cancer vaccine and immunotherapy. In tests in mice, the vaccine boosted levels of tumor-hunting immune cells, while the immunotherapy made them more effective killers. Human trials are due t… Continue reading Oxford’s cancer vaccine/immunotherapy combo to head for human trials
Early data from an ongoing UK study investigating COVID-19 vaccine responses in immunocompromised subjects indicates up to 60 percent of this cohort have effective immune responses to current vaccines. As well as identifying those patient sub-groups mo… Continue reading UK study identifies groups at risk of low response to COVID-19 vaccines
Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung condition involving excessive scarring that affects patients’ breathing, and currently can’t be cured. But now, scientists at the University of Alabama have found a way to reverse the condition in mice, using a drug that’s … Continue reading Lung fibrosis reversed in mice using existing FDA-approved drug
A new monoclonal antibody treatment has been found to protect chronically ill adults from developing COVID-19. The Phase 3 trial results suggest the novel antibody cocktail, delivered by intramuscular injection, could offer up to 12 months protection.C… Continue reading “Game-changing” antibody cocktail prevents COVID-19 in the chronically ill
Through a series of ingenious mouse experiments, researchers have discovered evidence that inflammation-induced histamine activity can inhibit the release of serotonin in the brain. The findings suggest histamine may play a key role in causing depressi… Continue reading Histamine may be a missing link connecting inflammation and depression
New data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is affirming the safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy. The ongoing surveillance project found no safety concerns for the vaccines or increased rates of miscarriage.Conti… Continue reading New CDC data affirms mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are safe during pregnancy

A peptide called MOTS-c has shown promise in preventing type 1 diabetes, according to new tests in human cells in culture and live mice. The peptide seems to regulate the immune system, potentially leading to treatments for type 1 diabetes and other au… Continue reading Type 1 diabetes prevented in mice by immune-cell-regulating peptide
