Global immunity to Covid-19 is likely to offer protection against other SARS-type viruses, ultimately lowering the risk of a future coronavirus pandemic, scientists have found. Researchers led by a team at the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research (CVR) combined information from patient antibody samples with mathematical modelling to examine levels of immunity against … Read more

Even after the virus disappears, some people continue to experience altered taste. New research suggests that subtle molecular changes in taste receptor cells, not visible damage, may explain why sweet, umami, and bitter flavors remain disrupted long after COVID-19 infection. Study: Taste dysfunction in long COVID. Image credit: DimaBerlin/Shutterstock.com Some people with long COVID-19 report … Read more
Nearly a year and a half after infection, researchers examined whether long COVID leaves measurable traces of inflammation or neuronal damage in the blood and their findings challenge assumptions about persistent immune activation. Study: Long-COVID: assessment of circulating markers suggests no cerebral neuronal damage, neuroinflammation or systemic inflammation–a controlled study.

Coronaviruses not only use the machinery of the human cells they infect: they modify it to achieve optimal conditions to produce viral proteins and thus spread more quickly. This is the main conclusion of a study by Pompeu Fabra University published in Nature Communications. The study identifies enzymes that modify transfer RNAs (tRNAs) –small cellular … Read more
Even at pharmacological doses that flood the colon but barely enter the bloodstream, curcumin’s effects on the gut microbiome proved temporary, highlighting the remarkable resilience of the human microbial ecosystem.

Four years after ICU admission, mortality remains strikingly high in ventilated COVID-19 ARDS patients, and many survivors continue to struggle with fatigue, insomnia, functional decline, and reduced quality of life.

SARS-CoV-2 triggers the production of the antiviral protein IFN-γ, which is associated with fatigue, muscle ache and depression. New research shows that in Long COVID patients, IFN-y production persists until symptoms improve, highlighting a potential biomarker and a target for therapies. A University of Cambridge-led study identifies the protein interferon gamma (IFN-γ) as a potential … Read more
