Study finds SARS-CoV-2 recovery enhances immune response to flu in mice due to epigenetic changes.

A study by Rockefeller University and Weill Cornell Medicine suggests that recovering from COVID-19 may protect against severe flu cases. Researchers found that mice previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 showed enhanced immune responses to the influenza A virus, thanks to epigenetic changes in macrophages. This discovery enhances understanding of innate immune memory and could lead to therapies offering broader protection against various viruses.
