Secondhand exposure at home to the nicotine vapor from e-cigarettes is linked to a heightened risk of bronchitic symptoms and shortness of breath among young adults, finds research published online in the respiratory journal Thorax. If these findings prove causal, there would be a “compelling rationale” for banning the use of e-cigarettes and other vaping […]

Co-parenting doesn’t have to be difficult, especially when both parents are supportive of one another. At least, that’s the case for Fergie and Josh Duhamel, who married in 2009, separated in 2017, finished filing for divorce in 2019, and are parenting son Axl, 8. After Josh Duhamel got engaged to Audra Mari, whom he’s been […]

An international research team led by scientists at Georgetown University have demonstrated the power of artificial intelligence to predict which viruses could infect humans—like SARS-CoV-2, the virus that led to the COVID-19 pandemic—which animals host them, and where they could emerge. Their ensemble of predictive models of likely reservoir hosts, published January 10 in Lancet […]

Experts said Monday that an alleged hybrid coronavirus mutation dubbed “Deltacron” reportedly discovered in a Cyprus lab is most likely the result of a lab contamination, and not a new worrying variant. Cypriot media reported the discovery Saturday, describing it as having “the genetic background of the Delta variant along with some of the mutations […]

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers determined the adherence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Delta variant to masks and respirators and the role of buccal protection in controlling SARS-CoV-2 transmission.

Scientists at Newcastle University have identified a new genetic mechanism that can cause severe forms of male infertility. This breakthrough in understanding the underlying cause of male infertility offers hope of better treatment options for patients in the future. The study, published today in Nature Communications, shows that new mutations, not inherited from father or […]

Alongside antibodies, T cells are a key player in the immune response against pathogens. The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 has many mutations, which means it can evade the antibody response. However, the present study suggests that T cells should still offer protection against the variant. In a new study, researchers have found evidence that T […]
