Prior infection by a parasitic hookworm has been shown to protect mice from severe SARS-CoV-2 disease, offering a potential explanation as to why certain human populations seemed to fare better during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

When evidence-based firearm injury prevention policies such as extreme risk protection orders are implemented properly, they can play a significant role in preventing gun-related injuries and death, according to a new scientific policy review led by the University of Michigan Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention.

An examination of how clinical trials have changed in Australia over the past 15 years has identified challenges such as lack of balance in the types of research, lack of collaboration among Australian researchers, and the importance of diversity of funding.

Vaccinations, blood tests, or IVs—it’s fair to say that no child likes a needle. So, when it comes to the jab, a light touch and a caring approach is incredibly welcomed—both by the child and the parent.

People have been studying the brain for thousands of years. But if you ask a neuroscientist how much we really know about the squishy blobs in our head, they’ll probably tell you “not much.”

Breast cancer research has taken a significant stride forward as Professor Semin Lee and his research team from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNIST, in collaboration with Professor Ji-Yeon Kim and Professor Young-Hyuck Im from the Division of Hematology-Oncology at Samsung Medical Center in Seoul, delve into the exploration of triple negative apocrine carcinoma. This rare breast cancer subtype has garnered attention due to its unique genetic characteristics and improved prognosis when compared to other forms of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Delays for patients awaiting a diagnosis of an inflammatory arthritis, caused by changes in practice during the COVID pandemic, could have a negative impact on their symptoms and longer-term outlook, new research has found.

In the first study of its kind, researchers at Karolinska Institutet and rheumatologists at Karolinska Sjukhuset have characterized T cells in the muscle tissue of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. They show that the same T cells persist in the muscle over time despite immunosuppressive treatment. This study is now published in the journal EMBO Molecular Medicine.
