Does COVID-19 cause adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes?

Early in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, pregnant women were thought to be at unusually high risk from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) compared to the general population or non-pregnant women. However, later studies failed to agree on the extent and nature of the danger posed by the infection.

What older Americans need to know about taking Paxlovid

A new coronavirus variant is circulating, the most transmissible one yet. Hospitalizations of infected patients are rising. And older adults represent nearly 90% of U.S. deaths from covid-19 in recent months, the largest portion since the start of the pandemic.

The "Great Escape" by SARS-CoV-2 XBB.1

In a recent article published in the Lancet Microbe, researchers in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom quantified the antigenic diversity of new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) subvariants, BQ.1.1, BM.1.1.1, and XBB.1, all derivatives of the variant of concern (VOC) Omicron, which emerged in late 2022.

Future COVID-19 control will require vaccines that induce better mucosal immunity

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers in France explored the relationship between long-term immunoglobulin (Ig)-A response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and taste and smell disorders.

Exploring bioinformatics approach for evaluating binding affinities of probable COVID-19 therapeutic decoys

Researchers developed a computational workflow based on molecular dynamic (MD) simulations and artificial neural network (ANN) to assess the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein receptor-binding domain (RBD)-human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) binding affinities of SARS-CoV-2 variants.
