Systemic sclerosis more common among Black children than previously thought

An immune disease that can damage vital organs – and is supposedly rare in young people – is more common than previously thought among Black children, a study suggests.

Study identifies several proteins that protect against disease development

Inflammatory processes are associated with a large range of human diseases, including rheumatic diseases and allergies. Protein biomarkers are measurable molecules that can have a prognostic value in patients, be used to diagnose disease, or indicate severity of disease.

Guidelines may lead to over-diagnoses of milk allergy in infants

In an analysis of data on 1,303 healthy infants who were exclusively breastfed until at least 3 months of age, 38% and 74% of infants had multiple mild-to-moderate milk allergy symptoms- as defined by current allergy guidelines- at 3 months and 12 months old, respectively.

International guidelines may lead to over-diagnosis of cow's milk allergy in children

International guidelines developed to help doctors diagnose cow's milk allergy may lead to over-diagnosis, according to University of Bristol-led research published in the journal Clinical and Experimental Allergy today [8 December].

'Combination' adjuvant may boost the protective power of vaccines

Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have found a possible way to improve the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines - and any vaccine.

New nanoparticle adjuvant could help make vaccines more powerful

A common strategy to make vaccines more powerful is to deliver them along with an adjuvant - a compound that stimulates the immune system to produce a stronger response.

Immune cells play a much larger role in the onset of allergies than previously thought

A ground-breaking discovery from the Malaghan Institute has shone a light on immune cells in the skin, suggesting they play a much larger role in the onset of allergies than first thought.

Novel set of immune cells may have the opposite effect in multiple sclerosis, other brain conditions

A group of immune cells that normally protect against inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract may have the opposite effect in multiple sclerosis (MS) and other brain inflammation-related conditions, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian researchers.

Study analyzes global COVID-19 vaccination rates among people living with HIV

COVID-19 vaccination is especially important for immunocompromised individuals, such as people living with HIV, who face higher risks of developing severe symptoms and dying from COVID-19.

People with allergic conditions may have a lower risk of COVID-19 infection, finds study

People with allergic conditions such as hay fever, rhinitis, and atopic eczema, may have a lower risk of COVID-19 infection, especially if they also have asthma, finds a large, population-based study of UK adults, published online in the respiratory journal Thorax.

Study uncovers major disparities in preferred HIV medication uptake in low- and middle-income countries

A new study uncovered large and persistent disparities by sex and age in the uptake of a preferred HIV medication in low- and middle-income countries, potentially subjecting some women to worse HIV treatment outcomes if the situation is not corrected quickly.

Natural COVID-19 infection offers protection from gamma and delta variants of SARS-CoV-2

Natural infection with COVID-19 offered protection from reinfection when the gamma and delta variants predominated, according to a new University of Michigan study that also provides levels of antibodies needed to protect against reinfections.

Substantial efforts needed to help people with HIV achieve durable viral suppression, study suggests

Among people with HIV worldwide who are receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART), adults are getting closer to the global target of 95% achieving viral suppression, but progress among children and adolescents is lagging and long-term viral suppression among all groups remains a challenge.

A review of natural immunity, vaccines, and variants in SARS-CoV-2 reinfection

In a literature review article published in the Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives, authors from the US performed a thorough investigation of previous studies and case reports of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection. This review discusses the role of natural immunity, vaccines, and SARS-CoV-2 variants in reinfection.

Delta-like SARS-CoV-2 variants with enhanced transmissibility may cause a more severe pandemic

A SARS-CoV-2 variant with traits similar to that of the Delta variant - enhanced transmissibility and an ability to infect people who had previous infections/vaccination - will cause a more severe pandemic with more infections and breakthrough infections/reinfections than variants with either trait alone, according to a mathematical model created by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
