Although patients who recover from Covid-19 will hope to have developed antibodies conferring protection against the virus, there remain questions about immunity and how long it lasts.

A case of reinfection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is described in a study published online Oct. 12 in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.

If you were counting on a coronavirus infection to keep you safe from COVID-19 without having to get a vaccine, scientists have some bad news: It won’t work.

The Nevada State Health Response team reported the first case of COVID-19 reinfection in the country during a press conference Friday afternoon.

Scientists at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med), led by its Nevada State Public Health Laboratory (NSPHL) are studying a likely case of COVID-19 reinfection.

Your genes may hold clues to your optimal diet plan.

That’s what UNLV researcher Martin Schiller advocates with his new business, Food Genes and Me, a website that uses genetic data to predict how eating less or more of a certain food could help ward off disease.

Researchers at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) launched a public website called FoodGenesAndMe.com that uses computer software to scan users’ DNA for potential health problems and creates personalized diets to lower the risks.

If you’ve taken a genealogy test, you can now find out what medical problems your genes make you vulnerable to, and how you can change your diet to keep yourself healthy. Food Genes and Me, a startup developed by UNLV’s Nevada Institute of Personalized Medicine, offers a free service that lets you do just that.
