New research from Murdoch University’s Australian National Phenome Centre confirms that multiple doses of COVID-19 vaccines do not cause significant metabolic changes.
In a new study published in Science Bulletin, researchers from West China Hospital of Sichuan University present the largest human T cell reference for 68 subtypes and states, alongside STCAT, an automated annotation tool achieving 28% higher accuracy than existing methods. Their systematic analyses reveal T cell subtype dynamics in cancer and COVID-19, offering a valuable resource for the community. They also develop a TCellAtlas database for browse T cell expression profiles and analyzing customized scRNA-seq data by STCAT tool.
Australian and Dutch researchers have uncovered a remarkable evolutionary adaptation in birds that could hold vital clues for combating avian flu and respiratory infections in humans, including pneumonia and COVID-19.

A bacteria killing coating created by scientists has been used in trials of a new paint that can be applied to a range of surfaces to effectively kill bacteria and viruses, including difficult to kill species such as MRSA, flu and COVID-19.
A new Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine study found virtual group singing can be an effective tool for promoting well-being and social connection during isolation. The study assessed the feasibility of virtual group singing for adults over 55 — including those with neurocognitive disorders like dementia — during the COVID-19 pandemic when older adults were experiencing health declines due to isolation. The next step in the research will be a nationwide trial funded by the National Institutes of Health Music Dementia Research Network.
Findings included elevated risks for chronic organ disease among children, and revealed some racial differences in long COVID risks
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a detrimental impact on global health. The momentous effort of researchers around the globe resulted in not only the successful development of multiple vaccines but also a vast accumulation of COVID-19 patient-derived next-generation sequencing data. Despite the availability of efficacious vaccines, COVID-19 persists, and our knowledge of host transcriptomics is still vague.
Researchers have developed a light-induced DNA detection method that enables rapid, PCR-free genetic analysis. Their technique offers ultra-sensitive mutation detection in just five minutes, reducing costs and simplifying testing. The method has significant potential in healthcare, environmental conservation, and personal health monitoring.
