A new study has assessed the antibody responses to the mRNA-1273 Moderna vaccine over time.
University of Maryland School of Medicine researchers developed a technique in laboratory animals to consistently and reproducibly open the blood-brain barrier.
Recently, the same group of researchers refined their earlier analysis by using new data sets to determine deaths due to COVID-19 instead of including deaths involving COVID-19 in small areas. This study has been posted to the medRxiv* preprint server.
A new study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server has evaluated the effect of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination and boosting strategy on serum antibody responses in PAD patients against the original SARS-CoV-2 strain and circulating variants.
Fusion oncogenes, such as RET- and NTRK-gene fusions, are associated with more invasive pediatric thyroid cancers, correlating with the highest risk of metastases and a lower likelihood of achieving remission one year after initial therapy, according to a new study by researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
Oxygen and sugar are the basis of life for animals, plants, fungi and many bacteria. The metabolic process called respiration makes it possible to convert food into energy for the cells.
Dexamethasone, a glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, can transiently increase the expression of therapeutic genes delivered using adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors.
Researchers from Moderna, the developers of one key vaccine, have been investigating its ability to protect against the Omicron variant.
Regulations making vaccines a condition of deployment for health and social care staff are set to be revoked, subject to public consultation and parliamentary approval, the Health and Social Care Secretary has announced.
