Researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA) are investigating uptake of the flu vaccine among care home staff in a bid to see if lessons can be learned to encourage people to have a COVID-19 immunisation. This winter could see flu season coincide with a second wave of COVID-19, so ensuring high flu vaccine […]

Imperial College London’s COVID-19 vaccine trial is expanding to additional sites throughout England. From next week, the ground-breaking vaccine, which has received more donations, will be trialled in six additional centres. Preclinical studies have shown that the vaccine produced highly specific antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in mice, which were able to neutralise the virus. The vaccine […]

Aggressive cancers could be treated with immunotherapies that direct the immune system to kill cancer cells with specific drug resistance-causing mutations, a major new study suggests. Drug resistance mutations which restore activity of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes as a way of avoiding the effects of drug treatment could leave tumours vulnerable to the effects […]

COVID-19 patients admitted from more deprived regions are at higher risk of intensive care admission, new study finds. Black, Asian minority ethic patients with COVID-19 are more likely to be admitted to hospital from regions with higher levels of air pollution, lower quality housing and overcrowded living conditions and are more likely to be admitted […]
