This study evaluates the functional capacity of CD4^(+) and CD8^(+) terminally-differentiated effector (T(EMRA)), central memory (T(CM)), and effector memory (T(EM)) cells obtained from the volunteers vaccinated with an aluminum-adjuvanted
SARS-CoV-2 continues to circulate in the human population necessitating regular booster immunization for its long-term control. Ideally, vaccines should ideally not only protect against symptomatic disease, but also prevent transmission via
Ensuring a more equitable distribution of vaccines worldwide is an effective strategy to control global pandemics and support economic recovery. We analyze the socioeconomic effects - defined as health gains, lockdown-easing effect, and supply-chain

To date, analog methods of cooking such as by grills, cooktops, stoves and microwaves have remained the world's predominant cooking modalities. With the continual evolution of digital technologies, however, laser cooking and 3D food printing may
Today we know that both the humoral and the cellular arm of the immune system are engaged in severe immunological challenges. A close interaction between B and T cells can be observed in most "natural" challenges, including infections, malignancies
CONCLUSIONS: Organizational learning, teamwork between hospital departments, transfers between departments, and departmental disorganization can affect intention to report a near-miss event and adversely affect patient safety culture during a health
CONCLUSIONS: Our data show that the proposed algorithm represents a valid alternative diagnostic approach to increase testing efficiency during future pandemic phases with high positivity rates (>20%) and elevated numbers of RT-PCR test requests.
