Uncovering COVID-19's impact on mental health

In a recent study published in the journal BMJ, a team of researchers from Canada and the United Kingdom conducted a systematic review of current research and meta-analysis to compare the symptoms of anxiety and depression and overall mental health among the general population before and after the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Bispecific antibody shows improved efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 variants

Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed fully human bispecific antibodies, as revealed in a recent study. These antibodies can bind to two distinct epitopes of the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and have demonstrated the ability to neutralize various strains of the virus, including the Omicron variant.
