Scientists are taking their own vaccines, an ethically murky practice that has a long and sometimes celebrated history in medicine. In the history of medicine, self-experimentation has certainly been a well-recognized tradition. Jonas Salk first tested his polio vaccine on himself and his children in 1952 before giving it to strangers. Marina Voroshilova and Mikhail Chumakov, a married pair of Russian...

Go outside and get some sun! Vitamin D can boost host #immunity against #viral infections. A recent FEBS Journal article by Milana Frenkel-Morgenstern https://lnkd.in/eaigan3 investigated #vitaminD concentrations in 7,807 individuals and found vitamin D deficiency could potentially define a population at high-risk for #COVID19 Low plasma 25(OH)D level appears to be an independent #riskfactor for COVID‐19 #infection and #hospitalizations .

Did you have a recent (before the current #covid19pandemic ) flu-like illness caused by another #coronavirus? You may have better protection against #sarscov2. Coronaviruses found all around the world have been known for decades to cause what are usually much milder infections. There is emerging evidence that people who were infected by other #coronaviruses possess some degree of pre-existing #immunity A study published in Science Magazinehttps://lnkd.in/gxH-8FBfound SARS-CoV-2 reactive T cells...

Using 3D skin model, a proof-of-concept study demonstrates how #bacteria on skin surface leads to significant changes of thousands of genes, secretion of cytokines and growth factors. The model gained first insights on the microbiome’s influence on skin #xenobiotic#metabolism and #olfactory receptor expression.

A secondary analysis from the ChooseWell 365 randomized trial byHassan S. Dashti,Marie-France Hivert, Douglas E. Levy, Jessica L. McCurley, Richa Saxena, Anne N. Thorndike It is well known that #genetics plays a role in the development of #obesity, yet the influence of #genetic risk for obesity on #food choice behaviors is not well understood. Real-time assessment of workplace cafeteria purchasing data demonstrates that the highest quartile of a #genome-wide #polygenic score for #BMI (highest...

Fascinating social life of #skin#bacteria avoiding conflicts and fights while competing for #nutrients and space and maintain balance that determines the composition of our skin #microbiota . New study identifies interactions between two important skin bacteria B. subtilis and S. epidermidis: B. subtilis is an important protective bacterium of our skin and S. epidermidis is the most abundant member of the #skinmicrobiota This study sheds light on how #microbial communities define...

Another study funded by Genomics EnglandIllumina has received £28 million (US $34.4 million) in funding to sequence whole #genomes of 20,000 people with #covid2019 who need intensive care treatment and 15,000 people with the disease who exhibit more mild symptoms. Analyzing whole genomes may identify variations and specific genes that affect response to #sarscov2 , and enable #drugdiscovery and #drugrepurposing. The study will inform strategic planning for future waves of #covid19 or even other #pandemics. #coronavirus#coronavirusoutbreak#research#DNA#genetics#sequencing Source ...
