Airborne SARS-CoV-2 transmission beyond home isolation rooms may pose infection risk to others

A Rutgers study has detected tiny airborne particles containing RNA from the SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19, both inside and outside of the rooms in which infected people were self-isolating at home. This finding suggests that airborne transmission beyond the isolation rooms in homes may pose a risk of infection to other home occupants.

New simulation model shows how likely the SARS-CoV-2 virus spreads in different school settings

A year ago, the whole world discussed: is it irresponsible to send children to school during a pandemic, or do measures exist that can prevent corona clusters so efficiently that schools can stay open (or reopen)?

SARS-CoV-2 virus may be shed for much longer periods by some infected patients, study shows

In a 38-year-old man who manifested mild symptoms of COVID-19 for 20 days, the novel coronavirus continued to be detected in his organism and to undergo mutations for 232 days.

Early-stage alveolar epithelial cell necrosis linked to COVID-19-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome

A new study analyzed whether alveolar epithelial cell necrosis at an early stage SARS-CoV-2 infection and subsequent releases of damage-associated molecular patterns could aggravate COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome.

27 Jan 2022

Scientists identify immunogens that can elicit antibody responses against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants

In a new study, researchers identified conserved sites in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein using structural and sequence data, and then combined the results with existing deep mutational scanning data to design six antigens that can offer protection against significant immune escape mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain.
