OM85 harnesses molecules extracted from bacteria, and has shown promise in preventing severe respiratory infections. It seems to work by training the immune system.
Why does COVID-19 hit men harder than women? Is the disparity in mortality rates due to male hormones or an underlying difference in the male versus female immune system?
Racism – and the chronic stress it causes – leads to poor health among African Americans. It may change the way genes are expressed, leading to increased levels of dangerous stress hormones.
An antigen test was given emergency use authorization by the FDA in early May. A biochemist explains how COVID-19 antigen tests work.
Between 10-15% of all cells within the brain are microglia.
‘Nanobodies’ produced by the llama immune system can neutralise the virus that causes COVID-19.
Immunity passports have been touted as a way to reopen the economy. But there are serious concerns they’ll create an incentive to intentionally contract the coronavirus.
Early research has pointed to a link between severe illness with COVID-19 and vitamin D deficiency. But there’s more to the story.
We blame the coronavirus for the thousands of deaths, but it is actually a hyperactive immune reaction that is the cause of death. An immunologist explains.
Nearly two million antibody tests imported into Australia can’t be used to diagnose COVID-19. But it’s difficult to make an antibody test that is specific and sensitive enough.
Figuring out how the immune system responds to and defeats coronavirus is our best way out of the pandemic.
Vaccine development is usually a long process. The coronavirus pandemic is forcing researchers to innovate and test potential vaccines faster than ever before.
A biomedical researcher and pediatrician who works with Kawasaki disease and COVID-19 explains the similarities and differences in the worrisome cases doctors are starting to see.
Mysteries surround the coronavirus, but our expert is here to address some of the most perplexing issues.
Researchers from Oregon Health and Science University found that variations in genes that code for parts of the cellular alarm system might play a role in how well people fight off COVID-19.
The health benefits of exercise for our mind and body are well documented. But did you know that exercise could lower the risks of the most dangerous COVID-19 complication?
Human psychology has evolved to avoid situations that could lead to infection. Behavioral choices now could have long-term effects on how people interact with others and the world.
The science is far from certain, but it appears at least a proportion of people who have had COVID-19 will be protected from another infection – at least initially.
The infamous drug can inhibit the body’s inflammatory response, which is why researchers wonder if it can effectively treat COVID-19.
