SARS-CoV-2 can evade Paxlovid by multiple mechanisms

In a recent article posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, the University of South Florida, and the Catholic University of America demonstrated that the natural severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) main protease (Mpro) mutations result in nirmatrelvir resistance.

Mosaic-8 RBD-nanoparticles show promise against current and future SARS-CoV-2 variants

A recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server supports using mosaic sarbecovirus receptor-binding domain (RBD)-nanoparticles to discover therapeutic pan-variant and pan-sarbecovirus monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and to induce mAbs by vaccination.

Evidence review on "long-distance" airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2

In a recent study published in the BMJ, researchers investigated the factors that might influence the long-distance (more than two meters) airborne transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) in real-world indoor settings, e.g., workplaces and residential apartments.
