Using Denmark’s genomic surveillance linked to health registries, the authors identify immunosuppression as a key risk factor for persistent SARS-CoV-2 infections and show these infections accumulate ...

This Review discusses global approaches to infectious disease analysis and modeling, focusing on federated methods and addressing long-standing challenges in data interoperability, equity and trust.

Khurana et al. share their perspective on healthcare system preparedness in sub-Saharan Africa in light of the recent increase in ischemic heart disease burden, highlighting areas that require interve...

Reinfection increases long COVID risk; however, the absolute increase after reinfection is smaller than that observed after a primary infection. Vaccination offers substantial protection against long ...

Large-scale phylogenetic inference and pathogen genomics in the era of SARS-CoV-2 and beyond

This week: Moving to a walkable city adds 1,100 steps a day, AI may deskill colonoscopists when used constantly, and engineered yeast now feeds honeybees the sterols they need to thrive.

This week: The brain can trigger immunity from just seeing infection, AI predicts ICU crises hours in advance, and lithium deficiency emerges as a possible Alzheimer’s trigger.

This week: Oral contraceptives show no clear liver cancer risk, neurons fuel cancer spread by donating mitochondria, and sea slugs use stolen chloroplasts for photosynthesis and nutrition.

This week: Preserving immune function by slowing thymus aging, neurons in the hypothalamus that regulate social needs, and aspirin's potential role in preventing cancer metastasis.

Recombination-aware evolutionary analyses of the entire genomes of SARS-CoV-1-like and SARS-CoV-2-like viruses indicate that SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 descend from bat coronaviruses that circulated as...

A biweekly newsletter exploring the latest breakthroughs in science and medicine. Click to read A Byte of Health, a Substack publication. Launched a year ago.

The NERDS (NEtwoRks, Data, and Society) team at the IT University of Copenhagen welcomes applications from aspiring PhD students and postdocs in the areas of Da

This week: A Western diet during pregnancy is linked to ADHD and autism in children, engineered mitochondria may support organ repair, and annual HIV prophylaxis injections show promise.

A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

To the Editor We are concerned that some of the methodological approaches in a recent study1 linking use of LNG-IUSs to increased risk of breast cancer may lead to spurious associations and limit the ...

This week: Preserving immune function by slowing thymus aging, neurons in the hypothalamus that regulate social needs, and aspirin's potential role in preventing cancer metastasis.

This week: Vitamin D, omega-3, and exercise slow aging, reduced yellow fever vaccine doses show promise, and less frequent mammograms are as effective as annual screenings for breast cancer.

Nature - This Perspective considers the application to infectious disease modelling of AI systems that combine machine learning, computational statistics, information retrieval and data science.
