Stanford researchers have identified that rare cases of heart inflammation post-mRNA COVID-19 vaccination are driven by immune responses involving cytokines CXCL10 and IFN-gamma, and found that the soy-derived compound genistein may help reduce this inflammation, offering insights into safer vaccine strategies.
Yale researchers have discovered that the cases of myocarditis observed in young males after receiving COVID-19 vaccines are linked to a generalized immune response rather than vaccine-generated antibodies. This finding rules out some potential causes and suggests ways to reduce this rare side effect. The risk of myocarditis is significantly higher in unvaccinated individuals who contract the virus. The study provides insights into the immune signature of heart inflammation cases and highlights the importance of vaccination in protecting against COVID-19-related diseases.
A recent study has found that COVID mRNA vaccines may cause rare heart inflammation among young men due to overactive immune responses. The study was conducted on 23 patients aged 12 to 21 who developed myocarditis after receiving the second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines. The study found that higher cytokine levels in the blood samples of patients who received Pfizer jabs may cause inflammation. The researchers hope larger trials will confirm their findings, although finding more participants could be difficult as the condition is very rare.
