Pediatric patients with prior COVID-19 or MIS-C are not protected against Omicron

Research drawing on the national Overcoming COVID-19 study, led by Boston Children's Hospital, and the hospital's own Taking On COVID-19 Together Group provides evidence that children who previously had COVID-19 (or the inflammatory condition MIS-C) are not protected against the newer Omicron variant.

Cell membrane-bound enzyme is essential for SARS-CoV-2 infectivity, study shows

The membrane-bound form of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is essential for enabling infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a study published in the journal Cell.

A 6.4 million genome analysis predicts dominant SARS-CoV-2 variants

In this new study in the journal Science, researchers have developed a hierarchical Bayesian regression model, named, PyR0, which can analyze the complete set of publicly available SARS-CoV-2 genomes.

The role of pyroptosis in COVID-19

Researchers investigate the mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 induces NLRP3 inflammasome formation leading to pyroptosis.

Computational modeling fine tunes RBD-1C aptamer against SARS-CoV-2 S protein

Researchers used the SARS-CoV-2 sequence against aptamers to perform the in silico selection of an aptamer against the SARS-CoV-2 S protein.

ATLAS assay reveals SARS-CoV-2 variant T-cell responses

Researchers utilize the ATLAS screening assay to reveal the antigen response profiles of T-cells to different SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Studies provide insight into how long COVID-19 immunity lasts and nature of immune recall

How does the immune system remember and recognize viral invaders it has encountered in the past? A trio of newly published studies of people infected with SARS-CoV-2, vaccinated against the virus or both, are providing tantalizing new clues about the factors that influence the speed and magnitude of the immune system's response to subsequent infection with variants of SARS-CoV-2.

Researchers discover possible connection between harmful amyloid production and COVID-19 symptoms

In patients with serious and long-term COVID-19, disturbed blood coagulation has often been observed. Now, researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have discovered that the body's immune system can affect the spike protein on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, leading to the production of a misfolded spike protein called amyloid.
