Establishing an appropriate immune response is essential to recover from viral diseases such as COVID-19.The thymus, an organ of the immune system, plays a...
All licensed COVID-19 antibody treatments become ineffective over time as new mutants emerge. We isolated antibodies from an individual who recovered from...
There is an urgent need to find new treatments that complement the use of vaccines and antiviral drugs to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Our interdisciplinary...
What is going on with SARS-CoV-2 infection and your brain? Even in mild infection there may be neurological injury that affects recovery. In our study, brain...
Masking, a common SARS-CoV-2 risk mitigation strategy, is controversial for children in educational settings such as childcare. A prospective survey of early...
Recently, we developed a new way to identify SARS-CoV-2 antibodies without blood samples and needles. The assay detects these specific antibodies using urine...
The Global Pediatric Emergency Research Network (PERN)–COVID-19 Study sought to understand risk factors for severe SARS-CoV-2 infections in youth. By...
The SARS-CoV-2 virus rarely infects olfactory sensory neurons yet causes widespread anosmia. To explain this apparent paradox, we found that odour detection is...
Despite costing the UK hospitality industry £200 million per day in 2020, the long-term impacts of COVID-19 on the industry are unknown, with measures such as...
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many drugs have been tested to improve patient outcomes or reduce transmission. One of these drugs has generated...
The effects of COVID-19 in humans are highly variable, with symptoms ranging from none to those severe enough to require intubation and intensive care. Our...
The immune system generates antibodies upon infection. However, severe SARS-CoV-2 infection impairs the evolution of antibodies that can bind more tightly to...
After SARS-CoV-2 infection, our body produces antibodies that can defend us against the virus upon infection. However, not all antibodies act similarly - some...
Chronic fatigue syndrome is a debilitating illness that affects 1.5 million Americans. Because it is linked with higher risks of suicide, scientists are...
The COVID-19 pandemic has been dynamically reshaping our lifestyle and society. Despite huge drops in global pollution as people stayed at home, our study...
A study of the surfaces, objects and the air inside and around rooms housing COVID-19 patients helps us to understand how infected people spread the virus. The...
We have tried to keep a distance from each other to curb the early spread of COVID-19. These practices, however, conflict with our needs for social...
As COVID-19 is raging worldwide, mathematical models tailored to the pandemic suggest the most effective interventions to contain the contagion. Physical...
Increased regularity of sleep-wake patterns and more sleep: The ‘lockdown’-induced relaxation of social schedules had positive effects on people’s sleep....
Symptomatic COVID-19 cases in children are uncommon and their clinical course is relatively mild. In particular, infected children displayed non-specific lung...
The new coronavirus which is causing the ongoing global crisis is evolutionarily related to SARS-CoV: the very same which induced the SARS outbreak in the...
COVID-19 is raging across the world. Lacking available treatments, policymakers are looking for efficient public health measures that could turn the tide. The...
Analysis of the CoV-19 genome reveals two crucial mutations responsible for its efficient capacity to infect humans. There are two possible scenarios of how...
