Case Western Reserve University researchers have demonstrated that the risk for myocarditis/pericarditis (heart inflammation) among male teens (12-17) diagnosed with COVID-19 is nearly 6 times higher than their combined risk following first and second doses of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain New research in the February 2022 issue ofJournal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (JNCCN)confirms that mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 are just as safe for people with cancer as they are for cancer-free individuals. Researchers from Fox Chase Cancer Ce...
In preclinical studies, we have observed that a “prime” cluster of vaccinations results in a dramatic expansion of neoantigen-specific T cells followed by a contraction phase and transition to a memory response. For example, in studies where mice received DNA vaccinations at days 0, 3, and ...
After reviewing two recent analyses, mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations do not appear to increase the risk of RVOs at 3 and 12 weeks post-vaccination. Although both studies had different designs, mRNA vaccines do not appear to influence the risk of RVO development....
Although mRNA vaccines are particularly safe, they are not devoid of adverse events (AEs) [10,11,12,13]. In this study, we analyzed the incidence of AEs according to biological sex, age, COVID-19 history and body mass index (BMI) in response to the Comirnaty vaccination. 2. Materials...
19 The ongoing, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of the mRNA-1345 vaccine against RSV-associated lower respiratory tract illness (LRTI). Top-line results showed the efficacy of the vaccine to be 83.7% (95.88% CI, 66.1%-92.2%; P < ....
Here’s what you should know about the experimental COVID-19 vaccine rolling out to zoo animals—and why your pets aren’t getting it.
Although parents are supportive of childhood vaccinations, barriers to accessing and administering these vaccinations impact the adoption rate of the NFV. Facilitating the broader availability of NFV in pharmacies and educational institutions can support a greater level of implementation. While the public ...
In meningioma tumor samples, the level of miR-483-5p expression was found to be directly proportional to the tumor grade, associated with elevated mRNA and protein levels of its host gene, IGF-2. Suppression of miR-483-5p resulted in a decrease in the growth rate of meningioma cells in ...
In 2021, an observational study enrolled RA patients who had received two mRNA vaccine doses, followed by a third. DMARD use was explicitly reported by subjects as being ongoing or continuous. Blood was drawn before the third injection and again four weeks post-injection. Fifty healthy ...
