Social Distancing May Worsen Epidemic Outcomes
According to one study, the behavioral changes triggered by social distancing could ultimately worsen the disease outcome and increase the size of the final epidemic
Inflammatory response under zinc deficiency is exacerbated by dysfunction of the T helper type 2 lymphocyte–M2 macrophage pathway.
PMID: Immunology. 2019 04 ;156(4):356-372. Epub 2019 Jan 21. PMID: 30552817 Abstract Title: Inflammatory response under zinc deficiency is exacerbated by dysfunction of the T helper type 2 lymphocyte-M2 macrophage pathway. Abstract: Nutritional zinc deficiency leads to immune dysfunction and aggravates inflammation. However, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In this study, the relationship between macrophage …
The role of zinc and zinc homeostasis in macrophage function.
PMID: J Immunol Res. 2018 ;2018:6872621. Epub 2018 Dec 6. PMID: 30622979 Abstract Title: The Role of Zinc and Zinc Homeostasis in Macrophage Function.

Zinc inhibited LPS-induced inflammatory responses by upregulating A20 expression in microglia BV2 cells.
PMID: J Affect Disord. 2019 Apr 15 ;249:136-142. Epub 2019 Feb 12. PMID: 30772740 Abstract Title: Zinc inhibited LPS-induced inflammatory responses by upregulating A20 expression in microglia BV2 cells. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Our previous studies have proved that zinc supplement effectively alleviate depression symptoms in mice, but the mechanisms are still uncertain. Neuroinflammation is considered as …
Fever duration and length of hospital stay were longer in children with zinc deficiency compared to those who had normal levels.
PMID: Pediatr Rep. 2019 Feb 26 ;11(1):7386. Epub 2019 Feb 26. PMID: 30838119 Abstract Title: Zinc deficiency in children with Dengue viral infection. Abstract: Zinc deficiency is highly prevalent in low-income countries, with dramatic consequences to child health, in particular by impairing the immune system resulting in infection. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the …

PMID: J Nutr Biochem. 2019 Aug ;70:56-64. Epub 2019 May 3. PMID: 31153019 Abstract Title: Insufficient zinc intake enhances lung inflammation in response to agricultural organic dust exposure. Abstract: Organic dust exposure particularly within hog confinement facilities is a significant cause of airway inflammation and lung disease. In a cohort of Midwestern veterans with COPD …
Role of zinc in immune system and anti-cancer defense mechanisms.
PMID: Nutrients. 2019 Sep 22 ;11(10). Epub 2019 Sep 22. PMID: 31546724 Abstract Title: Role of Zinc in Immune System and Anti-Cancer Defense Mechanisms. Abstract: The human body cannot store zinc reserves, so a deficiency can arise relatively quickly, e.g., through an improper diet. Severe zinc deficiency is rare, but mild deficiencies are common around …
