Antibodies from original Covid strain may not help fight variants
The finding, published in the journal Nature Communications, has implications for the ability of new variants to reinfect people who contracted earlier versions of the virus, as well as for the continuing efficacy of vaccines -- that were developed to fight the original strain -- and the design of possible vaccine boosters. Characterising what kinds of antibodies the body is most likely to make to fight a natural infection is an important roadmap for vaccine design, said researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Evidence shows Covid vax is safe, effective for cancer patients
The findings revealed that individuals with cancer have an appropriate, protective immune response to vaccination without experiencing any more side-effects than the general population. Indirect evidence also suggests that a third "booster" shot could further increase the level of protection among this patient population.
Indie artiste Shai, Rupinn's 'Read Your Mind' to release on Sep 21
In an exclusive chat with IANS, Shai shared the making of the song. "We wrote this song almost 3 years ago before lockdown was a thing!

After listening to it over a few months I resonated with it more and more and knew it had to be for my project," said Shai.
Kids with high exposure to PM2.5, NO2 more at risk of self-harm
Researchers from the University of Manchester in England and Aarhus University examined 1.4million kids under 10 in Denmark and found that those exposed to a high level of nitrogen dioxide were more likely to self harm in adulthood than their peers, the Daily Mail reported. And people in the same age group exposed to above average levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) were 48 per cent more likely to subsequently self-harm, revealed the study published in the journal Preventive Medicine.
Covid virus evolving 'to become better at spreading in air'
The University of Maryland researchers suggested the need for better ventilation and tight-fitting masks, in addition to widespread vaccination to help stop spread of the virus. The findings showed that the amount of virus in the air coming from Alpha variant infections was much more -- 18-times more -- than could be explained by the increased amounts of virus in nasal swabs and saliva.

Understanding how bats resist Covid can aid new treatments in humans
The review, published in the journal Science Immunology, explores how the virus that has caused the current pandemic wreaks havoc on the human immune system. The review, led by Monash University, showed that the common ancestor to the current Covid virus likely appeared in bats between 40 and 70 years ago, "though the exact bat species or intermediate host involved in the 2019 outbreak remains elusive."
