“Smart surveillance” for viral spillover from animals to humans, targeted preparedness & drug/vaccine research, & worldwide cooperation on stopping disease spread are required to reduce deaths & lessen economic consequences of the next pandemic, according to an international team of scientists.
University of Maryland School of Medicine researchers have identified how multiple genes of SARS-CoV-2 affect disease severity, which could lead to new ways in how we develop future vaccines or develop newer treatments. The genes control the immune system of the host, contributing to how fiercely the body responds to a COVID-19 infection.
A meta-analysis of 32 studies showed that the immune system within the vagina ebbs and flows, depending on menstrual-cycle stage. The analysis identified 53 distinct messages that immune cells sent to one another.
