Lessons from Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have added to evidence that a protein called CaMKII improves strength, endurance, muscle health and fitness in young animals. Their experiments working with mice and fruit flies, however, found that the gene for CaMKII also contributes to an evolutionary tradeoff: increased susceptibility to age-associated diseases, frailty and mortality.

In what turned out to be one of the most important accidents of all time, Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming returned to his laboratory after a vacation in 1928 to find a clear zone surrounding a piece of mold that had infiltrated a petri dish full of Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ), a common skin bacterium he was growing. That region of no bacterial growth was the unplanned birth of a medical miracle, penicillin, and would lead to the era of antibiotics. Now, in a paper pub...

According to a new study by researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine, which is a follow-up to two earlier studies, three doses of COVID-19 may be required for the production of antibodies at levels ideal for fighting the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.

Aura Biosciences, a clinical-stage oncology company developing a novel class of virus-like drug conjugate therapies for multiple oncology indications, announced the formation of a new, urologic oncology focused Scientific Advisory Board.

In a new study, researchers say they believe that, for the first time, there is evidence to show that three doses of vaccine increase antibody levels against SARS-CoV-2 -- the virus that causes COVID 19 -- more than the standard two-dose regimen for people who have received solid organ transplants.

A study by researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine has found that even after receiving the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, organ transplant recipients do not have sufficient antibodies to ease up on crucial safety measures such as the use of masks and physical distancing.

After a yearlong study of people with opioid dependence, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers report evidence that adding $8 an hour to their paychecks may help those in recovery stay drug free longer, as well as encourage them to get and hold regular jobs. The researchers say poverty is an independent risk factor for drug abuse that treatment plans largely ignore. In a report on the study, described in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health online Feb. 21, the investigators s...
