The infection with SARS-CoV-2 causes an acute multisystem illness referred to as COVID-19, It is recognized that approximately 10% of individuals with COVID-19 develop persistent and often relapsing and remitting symptoms beyond 4 to 12 weeks after infection. These persistence of symptoms is commonly referred to as long COVID. Long COVID has been associated with […]
The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) started to recommend isolation time for people with COVID-19 to five days back at the end of the last year. They said that change was motivated by science results, because they found that the SARS COV 2 transmission occurs in the ½ days before the onset […]
Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) infection is characterized by immune dysregulation, especially in the elderly or immunocompromised patients with comorbidities. Vector-based vaccines (i.e. Ad26.COV2.S by Janssen/Johnson&Johnson) and mRNA vaccines (BNT162b2 by Pfizer/BioNTech, mRNA-1273 by Moderna/NIH), are both in wide use in the world. The antibody responses of the vaccines in immune-compromised populations have been described, but the T-cell […]
The rapid dissemination of the SARS-CoV-2 new variants of concern and the waning in vaccine-acquired immunity, lead to the introduction of booster shots. In July 2021, Israel was the first country to introduce a third vaccine dose 5 months or more following the second vaccine dose, which was associated with high protection against overall SARS-CoV-2 […]
Since the emergence of the novel coronavirus infection, COVID-19, researchers have been looking for a treatment to stop the devastating pandemic. During these efforts, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown potential as the next generation of therapeutic methods with wide application for diseases that have successfully controlled “cytokine storm” following the virus infection. Scientists have […]

The omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 has spread rapidly across the world, out-competing former variants soon after it was first detected in November 2021. According to the Our World in Data COVID-19 database, in Europe, the number of confirmed cases reported between December 2021, and March 2022 has exceeded all previously reported cases. Overall, the omicron […]
During the 24th European Congress of Endocrinology in Milan, Italy, researchers presented a study in which they found a link between thyroid dysfunction and COVID-19. Previous studies have found evidence of increased risk of Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, and diabetes after COVID-19. According to Dr. Ilaria Muller, an assistant professor of endocrinology at the Department […]
