New studies offer theory on cause of unusual hepatitis cases in kids

STAT News

Two new and as-yet-unpublished studies from scientists in the United Kingdom theorize that children who have developed the hepatitis cases may have been co-infected with two different viruses and had a genetic predisposition to have an over-exuberant immune response when that happened. Read the rest…

As U.S. COVID Vaccine Campaign Struggles, Scientists Weigh Ways to Speed Uptake

The Pharma Data

officials ramped up efforts to vaccinate more Americans, scientists around the world wrestled with whether it would make sense to delay the second doses everyone will need so more people can be vaccinated more quickly. “There is a path forward if you can show that two lower doses yield a similar immune response,” Dean said.

XBB.1.5 Omicron Subvariant Being Closely Watched as Most Transmissible Variant Yet

It also seems to be very adept at evading the immune response owing to a plethora of mutations that makes it immune evasive. “It The new subvariant has also been dubbed “Kraken” by some scientists. on the horizon as scientists say the virus appears to be rapidly evolving , mutating faster than most viruses.

The Booming Potential of mRNA Technology

Roots Analysis

Vaccinations in the past have always been either weak or inactive forms of a pathogen which was given to the body so that our immune system is trained to recognize that given pathogen. In theory we could do this for any infectious disease where we know enough about what molecules provoke an effective immune response.

Mutations leading to omicron variant did not enable virus to fully escape immune system

The Pharma Data

People who gained immunity – either through vaccination or exposure – against the original strain of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, also are likely to have some protection against the pathogen’s omicron variant. The samples were stored after the researchers measured the T cell response. population.
