Vaccines protect most people from serious illness, but the strength of that protection can vary considerably from one person to another. Some people produce a robust immune response, while others respond only weakly.A new study led by Arizona State University helps us understand why. See it on Scoop.it , via Virology News
If ongoing studies in other cancers produce similar results, the technology could influence far more than cancer care itself. See it on Scoop.it , via Virology News
Inside every cell, thousands of proteins must reach the right place at the right time. Helping coordinate this complex logistics network are centriolar satellites—tiny, membraneless organelles that play important roles in protein trafficking, cell division and the formation of cilia.

Researchers found H5N1 bird flu can spread from pregnant mice to fetuses through the placenta and to newborns through milk, causing developmental delays, smaller size, and behavioral problems, highlighting pregnancy-related risks in mammals. See it on Scoop.it , via Virology News
Most people who inhale the environmental fungus Cryptococcus neoformans never develop symptoms. The organism can settle in the lungs and remain there for years, restrained by the immune system without producing obvious illness. See it on Scoop.it , via Virology News
Preterm infants may face a heightened risk of viral infection during the first year of life, when the immune system is still developing and the protective barriers of the lungs and intestine remain immature. See it on Scoop.it , via Virology News

SARS-CoV-2 possesses a characteristic surface protein, the spike protein, which plays a central role in viral entry into host cells. The evolution of spike protein mutations has been an important factor in the emergence of viral variants with altered transmissibility and immune-evasion properties. Previous studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 evolution is strongly biased toward certain types of…

Although influenza and COVID-19 vaccination are offered free of charge to people at increased risk of severe illness, many still choose not to get vaccinated. A new study from Umeå University shows that the main barriers are not financial or related to distance from vaccination services. Instead, those most likely to forgo vaccination were younger individuals, men, smokers, and people with reduced…
