Tighter core of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in new variants may have increased the virus's fitness

Just as a tight core is a component of good physical fitness for humans, helping to stabilize our bodies, mutations that tightened the core of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in new variants may have increased the virus's fitness.

What is the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination and the occurrence of long-COVID symptomatology?

Researchers evaluated the incidence of long coronavirus disease symptoms among COVID 2019 patients,

31 Mar 2023

New structural details of the COVID-19 virus revealed

A new study led by Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) brings into sharper focus the structural details of the COVID-19 virus, revealing an elliptical shape that "breathes," or changes shape, as it moves in the body.

Combating vaccine fatigue: Study offers actionable steps to boost acceptance

Researchers determine whether new vaccination campaigns must be adopted for primary and booster vaccination.

The breadth of immune responses following COVID-19 vaccination in hematology patients with diseases and treatments impacting B cell immunity

A study published in Cell Reports Medicine describes that COVID-19 vaccines induce strong T cell response in blood cancer patients, irrespective of antibody response and B cell numbers.

30 Mar 2023

Do two or more mRNA vaccine doses provide additional protection in patients with prior COVID-19 infection?

Researchers conducted a retrospective cohort study among vaccinated and unvaccinated COVID-19 patients between December 16, 2020, and March 15, 2022, in the USA.

Study finds that current antiviral drugs retain efficacy against newly emerged Omicron subvariants

Researchers assessed the efficacy of antiviral medications against novel Omicron subvariants.

30 Mar 2023

Study finds minimal impact of SARS-CoV-2 genome variability on current diagnostic molecular systems

The authors of a new study under review at the journal Scientific Reports and currently posted to the Research Square preprint* server proposed a novel analysis pipeline to help identify mutations in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) primer regions.

SARS-CoV-2 infection disrupts the RNA modifications, study reports

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) hijacks parts of infected cells' vital RNA machinery, thereby blocking important functions in the cells. These damaging changes in the RNA can likely be reversed, potentially leading to new drugs against COVID-19, University of Gothenburg researchers show.
