News Release 29-Jan-2026 Metformin shown to prevent Long COVID across risk groups in multiple randomized trials Peer-Reviewed Publication University of Minnesota Medical School FacebookXLinkedInWeChatBlueskyMessageWhatsAppEmail MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL (1/29/2026) — Multiple randomized clinical trials and electronic health record studies now show that metformin, a widely used and well-established medication, significantly reduces the risk of developing Long COVID when taken during or shortly after acute infection with SARS-CoV-2. The findings were published today in Clinical Infectious DiseasesExternal link that opens in the same window. In the paper, the University of Minnesota Medical School research team provides information about metformin and summarizes several studies in low, standard and high risk populations that show taking metformin during or soon after infection with SARS-CoV-2 prevents the development of Long COVID. Notably, the research summarizes the number of patients needed to receive treatment in each study to prevent one case of Long COVID. On average across the four studies, one case of Long COVID is prevented for every 50 cases of acute SARS-CoV-2 treated with 14 days of metformin.

News Release 28-Jan-2026 Wastewater surveillance reveals true scale of COVID-19 spread as clinical testing declines A study in Japan demonstrates that sewage analysis provides a more accurate picture of community infection levels, countering the underestimation caused by reduced testing Peer-Reviewed Publication The University of Osaka image: SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations in wastewater, and community-acquired infection cases and hospital-acquired infections reported at a university hospital view more Osaka, Japan - As COVID-19 testing becomes less routine, official case numbers can make outbreaks look smaller than they really are. A research team led by Professor Michio Murakami has now shown that wastewater surveillance can uncover this “invisible” spread, providing a more objective picture of community infections and offering early warning signs for hospital-acquired cases. Traditionally, public health authorities have relied on data from clinical tests, such as PCR, to monitor infectious disease outbreaks. However, this approach has limitations. When the number of tests performed decreases. For instance, after a change in public health policy or a drop in public concern, the official statistics may no longer reflect the true prevalence of the virus.

News Release 27-Jan-2026 COVID-19 viral fragments shown to target and kill specific immune cells in UCLA-led study Clues about extreme cases and omicron’s effects come from a cross-disciplinary international research team Peer-Reviewed Publication California NanoSystems Institute FacebookXLinkedInWeChatBlueskyMessageWhatsAppEmail Fragments of digested protein image: A UCLA-led international research team showed that fragments of digested proteins from the virus behind COVID-19 can attack certain immune cells that have spiky shapes, such as the T cell above. view more Credit: Figure adapted from Yue Zhang et al, PNAS 2026 New research shows that after the body’s defenses kill the virus behind COVID-19, leftover digested chunks of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can target specific immune cells based on their shape. The revelations could explain why certain populations of cells that detect and fight infection are depleted in patients with severe COVID-19, and shed light on the omicron variant’s milder symptoms. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, may launch a line of inquiry that informs new strategies for quelling the most serious symptoms of COVID-19. Led by a UCLA team, the scientific collaboration comprises nearly three dozen engineers, microbiologists, immunologists, chemists, physicists, medical researchers and analytical experts.

"69.7% were 12–17 years of age, 59.4% were female and 40.6% were male, and 35.2% were experiencing long COVID symptoms at time of survey." "Compared with children who never had long COVID, children who had long COVID had a higher prevalence of functional limitations across 5 of the 6 functional domains."

Increased phosphorylated tau (pTau-181) is associated with neurological post-acute sequelae of coronavirus disease in essential workers: a prospective cohort study before and after COVID-19 onset — Yang et al. "The fact that average elevation in pTau-181 grew over the observational period may, if replicated longitudinally, suggest a temporal lag between COVID-19 onset and increases in circulating levels of tau phosphorylation."
