Changes in fibrin clot structure contributes to thrombosis risk in severe COVID-19

Researchers from Europe recently demonstrated altered levels of factor XII (FXII) and its activation products in 2 independent cohorts of critically ill patients with COVID-19 compared to patients suffering from severe acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by the influenza virus (acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)-influenza).

COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 variants

A commentary published in the journal Cell summarizes international data on vaccine effectiveness against new severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants. Evidence shows that the currently approved vaccines continue to be effective in preventing severe and symptomatic illness — even with the widely circulating Delta variant.

Scientists hypothesize SARS-CoV-2 cryptically circulating among humans before the current outbreak

As nations begin to recover, researchers from the National Taiwan University and Academia Sinica in Taipei have been looking to identify the changes the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) underwent over the course of the pandemic in order to better understand why the disease showed such virulence.

New evidence confirms the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination in cancer patients

The long-awaited confirmation of the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination in patients with cancer has arrived, on time to be disseminated to a global audience at the annual congress of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO Congress 2021), the leading professional society for medical oncology.

A novel FACS-based approach for SARS-CoV-2 serology

A recent study discusses a simple, sensitive, and quantitative serological test based on FACS assay to evaluate antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.

Failures and findings from randomized clinical trials in COVID-19 convalescent plasma

Researchers complete an extensive search on previously published studies to understand the efficacy of convalescent plasma in treating COVID-19.

Hypertension in COVID-19-affected pregnancy linked to high SARS-CoV-2 load in placenta

A new study finds that hypertension following the viral infection is associated with high placental viral load in pregnant women with COVID-19.

T cell immunity induced after mild COVID could contribute to protection against re-infection

An interesting new study finds that in both adults and children, a mild infection with the SARS-CoV-2 elicits an antigen-specific memory T-cell response.

Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections vary with age and geographical location

In this study, surveillance data were used to investigate how asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections vary by age and geographic location.

SARS-CoV-2 antibody models describe differences between the kinetics of different antibodies

Researchers have created kinetic models of IgG and IgM anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies over 13.5 months following infection to understand long-lasting immunity better.

Novel spike NTD mutations in SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant associated with increased viral loads and immune evasion

Researchers from the University of Southern California investigated mutations in the N-terminal and RBD domains of the spike protein.

COVID-19 vaccine-related allergies are rare, typically mild and treatable, finds study

Allergic reactions to the new mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines are rare, typically mild and treatable, and they should not deter people from becoming vaccinated, according to research from the Stanford University School of Medicine.

New QCovid tool helps identify vaccinated groups at highest risk of Covid-19 hospitalization and death

Researchers from the University of Oxford have today reported on findings on the vaccinated people who are at greatest risk from severe Covid-19 leading to hospitalization or death from 14 days post the second dose vaccination, when substantial immunity should be expected.

The influence of prior seasonal coronavirus infection on disease severity in COVID-19

A new study posted to the bioRxiv* server attempted to explore anti-spike IgG responses, Fc-gamma receptor (FcγR) activation, IgG targeting of immunodominant regions, and recall responses due to seasonal hCoV infections in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
