Researchers at the University of California have made a significant breakthrough in understanding the link between endothelial damage and severe respiratory outcomes in COVID-19 patients. By utilizing a novel deconvolution approach, the team discovered that elevated circulating endothelial signatures (ECS) in circulation are associated with worse respiratory outcomes and increased
Autism
Research from the Study to Explore Early Development (SEED) has found that young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities (DD) are more likely to contract COVID-19 and experience difficulties with mitigation strategies compared to children from the general population. The study, conducted by researchers from the
COVID-19
Despite being the fastest and most extensive vaccine rollout in history, the global response to COVID-19 saw significant disparities in the introduction, scale-up, and evaluation of vaccine programs. Research conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and financially supported by the National Institute for Health Research, found that lower-income countries
