Five Days Is Too Short! Study Says To End Covid-19 Isolation Based On Rapid Tests Results Instead
A study from the Imperial College of London suggests that people with Covid-19 should isolate themselves for a minimum of five days and safely exit depending on rapid antigen test results.
Increased Disease Potential Of Covid Variant BA.5 Currently Circulating In The United States
BA.5, the leading variant in the United States, contains intrinsic virological properties that give it an edge over other variants.
Getting a Grip on Influenza: The Pursuit of a Universal Vaccine (Part 3)
mRNA vaccine technology rose to prominence during the Covid-19 pandemic. But the same system can be used to combat other viruses, with the promise of quicker turnaround and cheaper manufacturing. Will the next influenza vaccine be an mRNA vaccine?
The Heavy Lifting Of T Cells In Immunocompromised Covid-19 Patients
A study published in the journal Viruses seeks to understand what happens to T cell responses if the B cell defense of adaptive immunity is severely compromised.
Solving The Question Of Covid Variant Increased Fitness Is Like Deciphering A Rubik’s Cube
Just as each face must be perfectly aligned to solve a Rubik’s Cube, each protein in SARS-CoV-2 must be ideally mutated in order to create a highly transmissible variant.
