Researchers characterized the expression of IFN-1 and IFN-2, ISGs, and NF-κB in the upper respiratory tracts of patients with mild and severe COVID-19, to understand innate immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infections.
In a new study, researchers compared serum cytokine expression among healthy individuals and those with PASC [post-acute sequelae of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)].
In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv preprint server, researchers in the United States assessed the role of two cytokines, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-10 (IL-10), in regulating immune cell responses and inflammation early during severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in rhesus macaques.
In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv server, researchers in the United States demonstrated the efficacy of a novel biopolymer, N-dihydrogalactochitosan (GC), as an adjuvant for next-generation mucosal coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine.
