In severe cases of COVID-19, damage can spread beyond the lungs and into other organs, such as the heart, liver, kidney and parts of the neurological system. Beyond these specific sets of organs, however, the virus seems to lack impact.

A newly described disease occurring in children and linked to COVID-19 has significant changes in white blood cellsa discovery that may allow doctors to better assess their young patients' condition and predict their resistance to current treatments, a new study reveals.

Now, a study by investigators at the Stanford University of Medicine and other institutions has turned up immunological deviations and lapses that appear to spell the difference between severe and mild cases of COVID-19.

The study, conducted by an international team and led by RMIT University's Professor Christian Doerig, outlines a strategy that could save years of drug discovery research and millions of dollars in drug development by repurposing existing treatments designed for other diseases such as cancer.

Almost as quickly as SARS-CoV-2 turned the world on its head, the spike protein studding its surface became a molecular celebrity. It is the virus's key to our cells, hence a critical target: Many promising treatments and vaccines aim to unleash antibodies that find and obstruct the spike.

By conducting advanced analyses of immune system activation in patients with severe COVID-19, researchers have managed to identify several cell types that play a key part in the immune response to the new coronavirus and the hyperinflammation seen in severe cases of the disease.

We know that by wearing masks, we can help reduce the transmission of COVID-19, and we know that not every type of face mask is equally good at blocking viral droplets when we cough, sneeze, talk – or even simply breathe. But how can we really know for sure?

Of all the frightening ways that the SARS-CoV-2 virus affects the body, one of the more insidious is the effect of COVID-19 on the brain. It is now clear that many patients suffering from COVID-19 exhibit neurological symptoms, from loss of smell, to delirium, to an increased risk of stroke.

Patients with COVID-19 who undergo surgery are at increased risk of postoperative mortality and pulmonary complications, a new global study published in The Lancet reveals.

In a paper published in JAMA Pediatrics, researchers showed the possibility that younger children transmit the virus as much as other age groups. However, there also seems to be research countering this statement. Here, we analyse literature available so far on transmission of virus by children.

Researchers, including one of Indian-origin, have identified a pattern of longer-term symptoms likely to be experienced by people who were hospitalised with the COVID-19 infection.

Researchers have recently published a paper which identifies five immune response markers which, collectively, were able to correctly classify both convalescent COVID-19 patients and those who did not survive the disease.
