Almost half of young people with long COVID reported lost learning
Nearly half (45%) of all young people who reported having long COVID felt they had fallen behind their classmates due to the pandemic - with almost three in five (59%) saying that they had not caught up with lost learning - according to new research involving UCL. L ed jointly by the UCL Centre for Education Policy and Equalising Opportunities (CEPEO), the UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS), and the Sutton Trust, the COVID Social Mobility & Opportunities (COSMO) study is the largest study examining the impacts of the pandemic on young people.

Three quarters of UK parents support routine chickenpox vaccine for children
Almost three quarters of UK parents would support a chickenpox vaccine being added to the childhood vaccination schedule, finds new research led by UCL and Keele University. The research team, led by Professor Helen Bedford (UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health) and Dr Sue Sherman (Keele University), surveyed nearly 600 parents on their attitudes towards a varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, including whether it should be routinely offered to all children, and whether they would be likely to accept it for their child.

Scars mended using transplanted hair follicles in Imperial College London study
Researchers have found that hair follicle transplants can promote scar rejuvenation by altering their architecture and genetic makeup. In a new study involving three volunteers, skin scars began to behave more like uninjured skin after they were treated with hair follicle transplants. The scarred skin harboured new cells and blood vessels, remodelled collagen to Our findings lay the foundation for exciting new therapies that can rejuvenate scars and restore the function of healthy skin.

Patients want more control over how their health data are shared
More than a million people opted out of sharing their GP data when NHS Digital announced its GP Data for Research and Planning programme in 2021. This study explores why patients were so concerned and what should be done to improve confidence. This blog post is available on the Accelerate Science webpage and reproduced below.

Urgent need to address ’regulatory void’ for online gambling across Sub-Saharan Africa - new study
As online gambling apps proliferate, a new study calls for rapid action from policymakers to safeguard citizens and protect public health in Africa. Governments across Sub-Saharan Africa are struggling to keep pace with the mass expansion of gambling, brought about through online technologies and smartphone apps, say the authors of a new study funded by the British Academy and Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF).

Trial of innovative CAR-T blood cancer treatment expanded
A clinical trial of a personalised therapy for blood cancer, led by researchers at UCL and University College London Hospitals, has been expanded enabling new groups of patients with a wider range of blood cancers to now receive the treatment. The new type of CAR T-cell therapy - where a patient's own immune system is 'reprogrammed' in order to fight their cancer - has already been shown to have promise for adult patients with a type of blood cancer called relapsed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL).
