Super-immunity in a camelid extensively immunized with the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain

A recent study published in Cell Reports reported the development of pan-sarbecovirus nanobodies (psNbs). Study: Super-immunity by pan-sarbecovirus nanobodies. Image Credit: Leonid Altman/Shutterstock Background Sarbecoviruses, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), pose a significant health risk burden. Factors like genetic diversity, natural reservoirs, and frequent recombination underlie the recurrent risk of sarbecoviruses. Therefore, developing broadly effective interventions against […]

Study shows people with a high omega-3 DHA level in their blood are at 49% lower risk of Alzheimer’s

New research published today in Nutrients shows that people with a higher blood DHA level are 49% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease vs. those with lower levels, according to the Fatty Acid Research Institute (FARI). The study, led by Aleix Sala-Vila, Ph.D., suggested that providing extra dietary omega-3 DHA, especially for those carrying the ApoE4 gene (which approximately doubles […]

Study links SARS-CoV-2 specific T cells with inflammation and reduced lung function in long COVID

A new study published in today’s issue of PLoS Pathogens is the first to link SARS-CoV-2 specific T cells to lung function and those who suffer from long-term COVID symptoms (PASC). Long-covid currently affects hundreds of millions of Americans. The study found that patients suffering from long COVID had virus-specific T cell levels more than 100 times higher than those […]

Cancer Patients Over-Represented in Long COVID Group

(Reuters) – Cancer patients account for an outsized proportion of people who end up with persistent, troublesome symptoms after recovering from COVID-19, a condition known as long COVID, U.S. researchers reported at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. From a nationally representative sample of over 4.3 million people diagnosed with COVID-19 between January 2020 and February […]
