This study identifies SARS-CoV-2 damage to the white matter of the brain; paradoxically, the structural changes were not associated with worse neuropsychiatric scores.

Most SARS-CoV-2 infections are cleared within a week or two, but it is not always the case. Immunocompromised individuals are susceptible to month- or even year-long infections, known as chronic infections. A growing body of research suggests they may …

Current covid-19 vaccines prevent hospitalization and death—do they also prevent Long Covid? A study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association confirms an existing observation: that vaccination provides little protection against deve…

Thanks to the work of scientists at Johns Hopkins University, a partially paralyzed man was able to feed himself for the first time in thirty years using just his mind and a pair of robotic arms.

A recent preprint concludes that two or more Covid-19 reinfections double the risk for death, blood clots, and lung damage among other negative health outcomes, demonstrating the clear and present danger of reinfection.

Here we examine a new monoclonal antibody candidate that neutralizes Omicron BA.1 and BA.2, as well as all variants that came before.

The BA.2.75 variant is the latest in a long line of Omicron variants. It is a dark horse candidate to be the worst one yet.

Recent scientific advances using a distant model organism—the fruit fly—may offer a new window into how brain damage could be repaired in humans.

This is a sorely needed initiative that addresses some of the equity and access issues with Test-to-Treat as cases are rising once again in New York.
