University of Missouri researchers say specific long-COVID symptoms fewer than expected
University of Missouri (MU) researchers have reported an unexpected discovery: people experiencing persistent COVID-19 effects -- known as long COVID -- are susceptible to developing only seven symptoms from a list of 47 top-reported long COVID symptoms for up to a year following infection.

Study suggests immune response to anticancer checkpoint inhibitors unaffected by COVID-19 vaccination
Immune checkpoint inhibitors perform comparably in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, allaying concerns that injections given to protect against COVID-19 will interfere with cancer treatment. Read More
Researchers discover antibodies that recognize all SARS-CoV-2 variants
Scientists at Switzerland’s Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB) and their collaborators pored through over 10 million coronavirus sequences to discover that some portions of the virus spike were remarkably unchanged, despite the many currently circulating virus variants. The research, published on January 26 in Science Immunology, also revealed that certain antibodies recognize all SARS-CoV-2 variants, along with other human disease-causing coronaviruses. Read More
COVID-19 immune response strengthens over time
Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) researchers found that the more time between vaccination and infection, the greater the strength of the immunity from COVID-19. The findings, published on Thursday in the Journal for Clinical Investigation Insight, suggest that people who’ve had COVID-19 can benefit from vaccination, even if they’ve delayed it. Read More
