The majority of patients with the condition, which is so new it doesn't have a name yet, were also microcephalic, a birth defect where a baby's head is smaller than expected when compared to babies of the same...
Researchers identify three clinical COVID-19 phenotypes, reflecting patient populations with different comorbidities, complications and clinical outcomes.
Researchers have identified nine potential new COVID-19 treatments, including three that are already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treating other diseases. The team screened thousands of existing drugs and drug-like molecules for their ability to inhibit the replication of the COVID-19-causing coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2.

Researchers report results of a COVID-19 mask study showing which materials had the greatest filtration efficiency. The findings underscore the critical importance of layering and universal mask wearing to protect people from exposure.
Researchers have discovered a key differentiation process that provides an essential immune function in helping to control cancer and infectious diseases. The research shows that a new factor - DC-SCRIPT - is required for the function a particular type of dendritic cell - called cDC1 - that is essential in controlling the immune response to infection.
We are made of stardust, the saying goes, and a pair of studies finds that may be more true than we previously thought.
