NSAIDs could be damaging to COVID-19 patients, dependent on timing, suggests study
In murine models of COVID-19, researchers found that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can suppress the inflammatory response and production of antibodies.

Rhesus macaques with SARS-CoV-2 develop promising immune response
A study has shown that the immune response of rhesus macaques with SARS-CoV-2 could be reproduced with a vaccine.

T-cell exhaustion may limit long-term immunity in COVID-19 patients
Researchers suggest patients who develop mild COVID-19 may not be able to fight reinfection very effectively because their CD8+ T cells show signs of exhaustion.
