A new strain of the coronavirus has been found in more than one-third of COVID-19 cases among Cedars-Sinai patients and may be contributing to the acceleration of the recent surge of cases across Southern California, according to study released today.
By Jordan Flemming, Special to Western Communications A team of Western researchers has developed a simple test – faster and more accurate than any approved thus far in Canada – to determine who has developed COVID-19 antibodies. The test could become a pivotal tool to help identify and determine immunity, whether from previous infection or from vaccination. Developed by professor Shawn Li, Canada Research Chair in Proteomics and Functional Genomics, his colleagues at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry and collaborators at the University of Toronto, the antibody agglutination tes...

MALLORIE McILWAIN mmcilwain@sungazette.com DANVILLE — Geisinger professionals took it upon themselves to gather a group of professors and researchers to study what the highest risks for COVID-19 hospitalization are during the first wave starting in March and studying through May. What they found to be true is that kidney disease, which often comes with a multitude of other negative complications, happens to be the leading risk factor for hospitalization due to the virus. Tooraj Mirshahi, senior author and associate professor in the department of Molecular and Functional Genomics, Dr. Alex C...
Researchers discover many genetic markers related to bone mineral accrual A multidisciplinary team of researchers led by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has discovered several genetic markers associated with bone mineral accrual, which could ultimately help identify causes of eventual osteoporosis earlier in life through genetic testing. The findings, which were made possible by following a group of children over several years, were published online by the journal Genome Biology. Osteoporosis is widely considered a disease of old age. However, the accrual of bone density early in ...
