A recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server demonstrated various traits, including the entry pathways and sensitivity to vaccination-elicited antibody responses by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variants.

Researchers evaluated the impact of breakthrough infections with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 sublineage on SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern neutralization and memory B lymphocytes formation among BNT162b2 vaccinees.

A recent phase 1/2 study under review at the Nature Portfolio journal and posted to the Research Square* preprint server demonstrated that a peptide-centered severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) T-cell activator, CoVac-1, was efficient in B-cell deficient people.

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers evaluated the immunogenicity of booster doses of alum-adjuvanted SCB-2019 vaccine candidate's three formulations.

Scientists have long known that cocaine works by latching on to molecular connectors on the surface of brain cells, allowing dopamine, a chemical that promotes feelings of pleasure and reward, to accumulate in the space between brain cells.

Genetically engineered immune cells successfully target the specific cancer cells that may be responsible for relapse of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a type of blood cancer, and proved effective in animal models of the disease, according to a preclinical study by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center have found a cell nuclear receptor activated by high fat diets and synthetic substances in unregulated athletic performance enhancers fuels the progression of precancerous pancreas lesions into pancreatic cancer.

A new study identifies the potential correlations that exist between SARS-CoV-2 and influenza infections.

A National Institutes of Health-funded study has found that people with food allergies are less likely to become infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, than people without them. In addition, while previous research identified obesity as a risk factor for severe COVID-19, the new study has identified obesity and high body mass index (BMI) as associated with increased risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Scientists demonstrated that the pineapple-derived jacalin-related lectin (AcmJRL/AnLec) could be an anti-SARS-CoV-2 agent.
