Science News—In some people with long COVID, powerful immune players called T cells seem to go out of whack. In some long COVID patients, T cells that recognize SARS-CoV-2 can become exhausted, Nadia Roan’s team reported in Nature Immunology in January. And scientists know that tired-out T cells can have trouble wiping out infection.

STAT—New research has identified proteins present in the blood of people with long COVID that could point the way to a much-needed diagnostic test and possibly to future therapeutic targets. “The dysregulation they observed is a bit complex, as some complement components go up and others go down, but overall the results suggest that complement pathways are abnormal in people with long COVID,” said Gladstone’s Nadia Roan, the senior author of a Nature Immunology paper published earlier in January on immune response in long COVID.

San Francisco Chronicle—At least 10 percent of those who survive COVID continue to face debilitating symptoms months after the acute infection resolves. New research from the laboratory of Gladstone Senior Investigator Nadia Roan shows that individuals suffering Long Covid have a dysregulated immune response to the virus and evidence of T cell exhaustion, which may be due to the virus persisting within their bodies.

San Francisco Chronicle—New SARS-CoV-2 subvariants are driving an increase in COVID case numbers around the world. Gladstone Investigator Nadia Roan explains that the subvariants have mutations that help them evade neutralizing antibodies, but stresses that getting the bivalent vaccine can still help strengthen immunity to the ever-changing virus.

San Francisco Chronicle—The new bivalent COVID-19 booster shots are recommended for individuals age 5 and up who are at least two months past their last vaccine dose. Gladstone Investigator Nadia Roan explains that the bivalent boosters greatly increase the levels of antibodies that can prevent the Omicron variant from infecting cells.

San Francisco Chronicle—New COVID-19 booster shots targeting both the ancestral virus and omicron strains are now available. Gladstone Investigator Nadia Roan weighs in on when people should get the jab, based on the timing of their last dose and whether they’ve been recently infected.
