How SARS-CoV-2 Contributes to Heart Attacks and Strokes

The COVID virus infected coronary arteries and increased inflammation in atherosclerotic plaques.

Antibodies attacking SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19

Study Reveals How Young Children’s Immune Systems Tame SARS-CoV-2

Infants and young children who had COVID produced protective antibodies for much longer than adults.

FDA-Approved RSV Maternal Vaccine Protects Infants, Reduces Economic Burden

New study shows hospitalizations would fall by more than 50% and emergency department visits by over 30%.

COVID-19 Intranasal Vaccine Candidate Produces Robust Immune Response

The live-attenuated vaccine aims to produce an immune response to the entire virus rather than the frequently mutating spike protein.

Immune and Hormonal Features of Long COVID

Study findings shed light on possible causes of long COVID and could lead to more sensitive testing and personalized treatments.

FDA Authorizes New Novavax COVID Vaccine

The protein-based vaccine works in a different way than the mRNA vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech.

Scientists Win Nobel Prize for mRNA Technology Used in COVID Vaccines

The technology, developed by Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman, also holds promise for HIV vaccines and cancer treatment.

SARS-CoV-2 Infects Coronary Arteries, Increases Plaque Inflammation

NIH-funded research sheds light on link between COVID-19 and increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.

New Cancer Diagnoses Fell Abruptly Early in the COVID-19 Pandemic

Report findings suggest many cancers were not being diagnosed in a timely manner during the early part of the pandemic.

Cold Virus May Set the Stage for Long COVID

Study findings identify a potential marker that could help identify people at high risk of developing long COVID.

Protein May Be Linked to Exercise Intolerance in ME/CFS

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been found in some people with long COVID and other conditions that include fatigue.

Tenofovir and COVID: The Jury Is Still Out

Research on the links between tenofovir and other antiretrovirals, SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID severity has produced mixed results.

Scientists Evaluate Role of Deer in SARS-CoV-2 Transmission

Learning how the virus survives in nature and transmits among animals could help predict future SARS-CoV-2 evolution.

SARS-CoV-2 Can Cause Lasting Damage to Cells’ Energy Production

Stopping the virus from hijacking mitochondrial energy production may be a novel way to prevent serious complications.

Severe COVID-19 May Lead to Long-Term Innate Immune System Changes

NIH-funded research links alterations to inflammatory protein, underscores vaccine importance.

People With HIV Remain at Greater Risk for Death Due to COVID-19

COVID mortality declined overall during the omicron wave but less so for people with HIV.
