/ Influenza Content for 色中色 en /news/chip-measure-immunity <p>Every winter, influenza returns with a new variant. People who have previously been infected with or vaccinated against flu may have some protection, but this depends on how well their immune system鈥檚 鈥渕emory鈥� of the previous virus or vaccine cross-reacts with the new variant. At present, there is no good way to measure this. A new NIH-funded project by researchers at the 色中色 and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health aims to solve that problem with a new device to measure this immune system 鈥渕emory鈥� in the blood.&nbsp;</p> December 04, 2024 - 4:16pm Andy Fell /news/chip-measure-immunity /news/airborne-viruses-can-spread-dust-nonrespiratory-particles <p>Influenza viruses can spread through the air on dust, fibers and other microscopic particles, according to new research from the 色中色, and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount&nbsp;Sinai. The findings, with obvious implications for coronavirus transmission as well as influenza, are published Aug. 18 in <em><a href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-17888-w">Nature Communications</a></em>.</p> August 18, 2020 - 10:16am Andy Fell /news/airborne-viruses-can-spread-dust-nonrespiratory-particles
