September 14, 2021 Allergy/Immunology We are not seeing ‘waning immunity’ in fully vaccinated people to date. Some require the 3rd dose specific medical or medication reasons. The intricacies of our immune system are astounding and fascinating. #vaccineswork
February 25, 2021 Allergy/Immunology Study proposes a biological mechanism to explain how high fructose exposure can exacerbate immune inflammatory response.
December 11, 2020 Allergy/Immunology Male sex identified as a risk factor for death and ICU admission due to Covid-19 infection. There are identified differences within components of the immune system that show women have more robust responses.
May 19, 2020 Allergy/Immunology The snake-oil-peddling President. And in real science news, a new study sheds light on immune response to SARS-CoV-2.
April 10, 2020 Allergy/Immunology No evidence that “immune-boosting” concoctions, supplements, or procedures augment protection from SARS-CoV2. Our immune system can be trained (vaccines and exposure) but not boosted. Keep the quacks at bay and save your money.

June 6, 2014 Cancer/Oncology Fasting's effects on immune modulators may help in cancer treatment but results need further assessment and research
April 18, 2011 Clinical Research Immune system response may be implicated in the development of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetics
