Covid-19 vaccine protects patients with blood cancer: Study
Updated : 1 month, 1 week ago IST
People with blood cancer usually have a weak immune system, putting them at an increased risk of becoming very ill from COVID-19. Furthermore, several cancer treatments cause these individuals to develop little or no antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 after COVID-19 vaccination.

Acids help against airborne viruses: Research
Updated : 1 month, 2 weeks ago IST
Viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, influenza virus and others travel from person to person essentially by hitchhiking on aerosols. These are finely dispersed particles containing liquid suspended in the air that an infected person expels when coughing, sneezing, or simply exhaling, and can be inhal

Research finds how antibody therapy impacts COVID vaccines
Updated : 1 month, 3 weeks ago IST
Nearly three years into the pandemic, many of us now carry antibodies against the virus--due to an infection or two, a few doses of mRNA vaccine, or a round of monoclonal-antibody treatment. But not all immune responses are created equal, and how we first developed our antibodies may influen

New gadget identifies COVID-19 antibodies in five minutes
Updated : 2 months, 1 week ago IST
Rapid, low-cost, and accurate tests are still required for epidemiological surveillance and healthcare services to monitor and contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Brazilian researchers have contributed to this field's efforts by creating an electrochemical immunosensor that identifies antibodi
