In a stunning leap for medical science, researchers have engineered a special mouse that is a near-perfect mimic of the human immune system. By giving the mice a simple, yet powerful, hormone—estrogen—they were able to create an animal model that could change how we develop new vaccines and treatments for diseases like lupus. This breakthrough … Read more
What if catching a seemingly common bug today meant a higher chance of organ damage years down the line for your child? It’s a sobering thought, but a major new study suggests this might be the reality for kids who’ve had COVID-19. Far from being a fleeting illness, new research indicates that even a mild … Read more

A groundbreaking discovery from the University of Cincinnati suggests a future where fighting off viruses like the flu, COVID-19, or even new pandemics might no longer require an injection. Instead, it could be as simple as taking a pill. New research reveals how specially designed bacteria, swallowed like any other medication, can act as a … Read more
For millions, the battle with COVID-19 didn’t end with a negative test. Instead, a new, exhausting chapter began: Post-COVID Syndrome (PCS), often called Long COVID. Among its most debilitating symptoms is a crushing, unrelenting fatigue, turning everyday tasks into monumental struggles. If you or someone you know has been plagued by this profound exhaustion, often … Read more
Researchers published the initial results of an ongoing study examining the gut microbiomes of COVID patients.
A new study out of NYU’s Grossman School of Medicine reports that infection with COVID-19 can encourage dangerous gut microbes to thrive.
Researchers show a molecular link between COVID-19 and serotonin cells in the gut, which could be key to understanding infection and severity of the virus.
Researchers have found that the virus can survive within various meat products people keep in their refrigerators or freezers for more than 30 days.
