Sunday, February 11, 2024 - 4:00 AM

In 2020, COVID-19-related governmental restrictions forced individuals to radically change their habits, possibly impacting on their living arrangements. Whether COVID-19 affected young adults' propensity to leave the parental home is still unknown

A potential bivalent mRNA vaccine candidate protects against both RSV and SARS-CoV-2 infections

Sunday, February 11, 2024 - 4:00 AM

As the world continues to confront severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is also causing severe respiratory illness in millions of infants, elderly individuals, and immunocompromised people

Features of Cytokine and VEGFA Gene Expression Modified with SARS-CoV-2 Virus in an In Vitro Experiment (Using the Example of the SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Antigen)

Sunday, February 11, 2024 - 4:00 AM

The influence of SARS-CoV-2 antigen on the cytokine-producing function of immune cells was studied. We observed suppression of the production of proinflammatory cytokines by 11-46% relative to the spontaneous level under the influence of SARS-CoV-2
