Medical News: For many people, recovering from COVID-19 means the infection is over, but the journey back to full health may be far from complete. A new study from Iran has found that a large proportion of people who were hospitalized with COVID-19 continue to struggle with insomnia months after their recovery, and those persistent sleep problems are closely linked to depressive symptoms. The find...
Medical News: A major new systematic review has found growing evidence that COVID-19 infection may increase the risk of developing a wide range of autoimmune diseases long after the initial illness has passed. While the overall risk for any individual remains relatively low, researchers say the findings highlight the need for doctors to remain alert for new autoimmune conditions, especially in peo...

Medical News: For years, doctors have struggled to explain why many people continue to experience brain fog, memory problems, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating long after recovering from COVID-19. Now, a new comprehensive review suggests that damage to the brain's protective blood vessels and the blood-brain barrier could be one of the major reasons these lingering symptoms persist.
N...
Medical News: Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way COVID-19 may influence the human immune system. Rather than acting only through the coronavirus itself, the infection appears to alter tiny particles released by gut bacteria that can directly communicate with immune cells. These microscopic structures, known as bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs), may help explain why COVID-19 affec...
Medical News: Researchers identify disrupted calcium signaling in immune cells that may help explain persistent Long COVID symptoms
Scientists have uncovered new evidence showing that Long COVID is associated with major defects in calcium signaling within natural killer (NK) cells, a critical component of the body's immune system. The discovery provides further insight into why many individua...
Medical News: Respiratory viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and influenza may be doing far more than causing temporary infections. A new scientific review suggests these viruses can weaken one of the body's most important defense systems, making survivors far more vulnerable to dangerous bacterial pneumonia.
