Urinary metabolic signatures relate to adherence to the Mediterranean diet and ultra-processed food intake in childhood and reflect associations of these diet quality indicators with metabolic health.

While predators can clearly reduce mosquito populations by consumption, they can also have non-consumptive effects on mosquito body size and oviposition behavior, and these effects on vector traits can influence infectious disease dynamics.

Differences in patterns of social contact between settings have consequences for the spread and transmission of respiratory pathogens and the effectiveness of different measures aimed at their control.

X-ray phase-contrast tomography reveals pathology of capillaries in heart tissue from patients who succumbed to Covid-19, as well as alterations in the three-dimensional cardiac tissue structure.

A two-sample Mendelian randomization study suggested a potential causal relationship between HMGCR inhibition and the reduced risk of COVID-19 hospitalization.

By fusing influenza viral conserved epitopes and a superantigen fragment, we constructed a recombinant protein that might be a candidate universal broad-spectrum vaccine for the prevention and treatment of multiple influenza viruses.

Healthcare workers working on COVID-19 wards experience a 31-fold increased risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2 compared to colleagues on non-COVID-19 wards whilst wearing fluid-resistant surgical masks, and FFP3 respirators provide up to 100% protection against infection.

Pollution from landscape fires, which are increasing with climate change, leads to babies being born with lower birthweights in low- and middle-income countries.

Epigenetic regulations in the smoking- and blood pressure-related pathways to the future risk of coronary heart disease may reveal novel pathways or therapeutic targets.

Countrywide agent-based simulations with building-level resolution reveal the importance of demographic repartition and population density on epidemic dynamics of respiratory infections.
