Researchers at Stanford Medicine say they have now identified a biological mechanism that may explain why this happens, helping clarify the science and possibly opening the way to preve&#8230;<strong>Continue Reading<\/strong><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"436\" data-end=\"912\">The study found that two immune signaling proteins, CXCL10 and IFN-gamma, appear to play a central role. Researchers observed that certain immune cells exposed to the vaccine produced these inflammatory signals, which then appeared to trigger immune activity that could affect heart tissue. Their results in lab experiments, mice, and heart-like tissue models suggested that this inflammatory chain may help explain the rare cases of heart inflammation seen after vaccination.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"1352\">At the same time, the overall risk remains low, and researchers stressed the broader context. Vaccine-associated myocarditis is uncommon, while COVID-19 infection itself has been reported to carry a higher risk of causing myocarditis along with other serious complications. The study also found that blocking the specific inflammatory signals reduced heart-related damage in experiments without fully removing the broader immune response.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1354\" data-end=\"1790\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">The team also explored genistein, a compound found in soy, and found that it reduced harmful effects in their experimental models. While that does not mean it is an immediate treatment, it suggests there may be ways in the future to lower the risk while preserving vaccine benefits. Overall, the findings provide a clearer explanation for a rare side effect and point toward possible strategies to make mRNA-based treatments even safer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists have long known that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective and generally safe, but in rare cases they can be linked to myocarditis, especially in younger&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":36334,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>HT17.
