In developing an effective clinical tool against COVID-19, we need to consider why SARS-CoV-2 infections develop along remarkably different trajectories: from completely asymptomatic to a severe course of disease. In this paper we hypothesize that the progressive exhaustion and loss of lymphocytes ...
receptor. this virus has an impact on multiple organ systems, including the central nervous system, immune system, cardiovascular system, peripheral nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, urinary system, skin, and pregnancy. for the prevention of covid-19, various vaccines such as...
Care is, therefore, needed to retain focus on the core concepts of biology, rather than allocating too much time to the particulars of the Covid-19 case. Secondly, biology curricula are often used to educate a population about public health. However, policymakers should be aware that knowledge...
Further GWAS efforts, including COVID-19 Human Genome Initiatives (HGI), have nominated host susceptibility genes3,4,5. However, the vast majority of existing studies have been carried out on European populations. Considering the global diversity of COVID-19 severity, COVID-19 host genetic analys...
This guest article on the impact of the Covid-19 vaccine is by Lars Kroijer, a regularcontributorto Monevator. When the history of the pandemic is written, the 16 January 2021 may stand out as the first day there was tangible evidence that the vaccines were starting to have an impact. ...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a global health threat with particular risk for severe disease and death in older adults and in adults with age-related metabolic and cardiovascular disease. Recent advances in the science of aging have
A new study has revealed significant discrepancies in the prescription of COVID-19 antivirals, indicating that many patients may not have received the most effective treatment available. Why scrapping the term ‘long COVID’ would be harmful for people with the condition The assertion from Queensl...
Human genetics can inform the biology and epidemiology of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by pinpointing causal mechanisms that explain why some individuals become more severely affected by the disease upon infection by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. Large...

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has emerged as a serious public health concern. Patients with cancer have been disproportionately affected by this pandem
