Partisanship and the pandemic A socially distanced get-together during the coronavirus pandemic. Partisanship and the pandemic Partisanship, not health concerns, is the main driver of whether Americans are social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new study.
Researchers find three distinct immune responses for sicker COVID-19 patients nocred Researchers find three distinct immune responses for sicker COVID-19 patients Researchers from the Penn Institute of Immunology discovered three distinct immune responses to the SARS-CoV2 infection that could help predict the trajectory of disease in severe COVID-19 patients and may ultimately inform how to best treat them.
Philly families live with crushing heartbreak as COVID-19, gun violence crises collide Penn In the News WHYY (Philadelphia) Philly families live with crushing heartbreak as COVID-19, gun violence crises collide Zaffer Qasim of the Perelman School of Medicine led a study about the intersection of rising COVID cases and incidents of gun violence. “There’s a significant contribution from COVID-19, but how tight that association is and whether there’s a direct effect of one or the other, that needs a little bit more study,” he said. Scientists focus on how immune system T cells fight coronavirus in absence of antibodies Penn In the News Reuters Health Scientists focus on how immune system T cells fight coronavirus in absence of antibodies John Wherry of the Perelman School of Medicine spoke about the crucial role of T cells in controlling viral infections like COVID-19. Study of coronavirus in pregnant women finds striking racial differences Penn In the News The New York Times Study of coronavirus in pregnant women finds striking racial differences Carmen Guerra, Karen Puopolo, and Scott Hensley spoke about research from the Perelman School of Medicine that found that Black and Latinx pregnant Philadelphians are five times as likely as white counterparts to have been exposed to the coronavirus. Navigating cytokine storms An immune response can be helpful, harmful, or somewhere in between, in COVID-19 and many other medical conditions. Q&A Navigating cytokine storms Pairing their expertise, Nilam Mangalmurti of the Perelman School of Medicine and Christopher Hunter of the School of Veterinary Medicine have been working to understand the protective and harmful aspects of the immune response, including in COVID-19.

Bats and COVID A new study from Penn Vet's New Bolton Center tests the guano of North American bats currently in Pennsylvania wildlife rehabilitation centers for the presence of COVID-19. Philadelphia needs more contact tracers Penn In the News Philadelphia Inquirer Philadelphia needs more contact tracers Lyle Ungar of the School of Engineering and Applied Science and Angela Duckworth of the School of Arts & Sciences called for Pennsylvania to hire thousands more contact tracers to slow the spread of COVID-19. While it’s an expensive proposition, they say it’s still less costly than “the $225 million in grants to small businesses affected by the pandemic and the estimated $5 billion in tax revenue that Pennsylvania is expected to lose through June of next year.” High sensitivity tech offers a potential COVID-19 testing solution Hui Chen, a postdoctoral research of pathology and laboratory medicine, at work developing a high-sensitivity rapid COVID-19 test in the laboratory of Ping Wang.
