This May Be Why Some People Don ’ t Get COVID-19 Symptoms
About three-quarters of people in the U.S. have had COVID-19 at least once, according to the latest federal estimates—but, if they were asymptomatic, some of them might not realize it.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, researchers have tried to understand why some people who are infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus never experience telltale symptoms like a cough, sore throat, or fever. A new study, published July 19 in Nature, offers one possible explanation: it’s thanks to a quirk of their genes.

When individuals with this gene variant are exposed to common coronaviruses that cause colds, the research shows, they gain protection against SARS-CoV-2.
“I love this paper,” says immunologist Shane Crotty of the La Jolla Institute for Immunology, who wasn’t connected to the research. The study, he says, provides “the str...

Researchers Use Marine Bacteria to Reduce Asbestos Toxicity
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Earth and Environmental Science have found that bacteria from extreme marine environments may potentially detoxify asbestos. The process involves bioremediation, which is a branch of biotechnology that uses living organisms such as bacteria to remove contaminants or toxins from the environment.
The study found that marine microbes are a better option for asbestos bioremediation than soil bacteria or fungi that have been tested in the past. Researchers decided to try the microbes because they use inorganic compounds and can interact with several mine...
