News‘Long flu’ has emerged as a consequence similar to long COVID
A new study shows patients hospitalized for flu or COVID-19 face an increased risk of long-term health problems and death.

NewsBlack individuals more likely to experience inequities in early diagnosis of Lyme disease
A new study reveals that black patients are more likely to have advanced stages of Lyme disease when clinically diagnosed and also experience a longer time before receiving antibiotic treatment for the condition.

NewsLong term green manuring strengthens core microbiomes
Scientists have presented evidence of the unique role of green manure in keeping and improving soil health, specifically hairy vetch, which is widely used in seasonal or spatial fallow farmland in northern China.

NewsSilent carriers: long-standing SARS-CoV-2 RNA in respiratory vesicles
Studies exploring extracellular vesicles (EVs) have uncovered an important piece of information: SARS-CoV-2 RNA was present in EVs in individuals who tested negative via standard RT-PCR methods.

NewsCOVID-19 vaccine candidates show robust boosting potential
Two COVID-19 vaccines have shown strong potential to be an improved approach for boosting immunity to SARS-CoV-2 variants according to interim results of a Phase 1 clinical trial.

NewsPatients can pause immune-suppressing medicines for COVID-19 booster vaccine
A major clinical trial shows that people with inflammatory conditions are able to improve the antibody response from a COVID-19 booster vaccination by interrupting their treatment for two weeks immediately after having the vaccine.

NewsAdvanced MRI technology detects changes in the brain after COVID-19
Researchers have found differences in brain tissue structure between patients with persisting symptoms after COVID-19 and healthy people.

NewsCovid persistence in lungs linked to failure of innate immunity
A new study shows that SARS-CoV-2 is found in the lungs of certain individuals for up to 18 months after infection, and that its persistence appears to be linked to a failure of innate immunity (the first line of defense against pathogens).
