Peptide-based vaccine fails to protect mice against SARS-CoV-2 despite T cell response

A recent study observed that peptide-based vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 failed to protect mice against COVID-19, albeit eliciting T cell responses.

28 Feb 2022

Molecular insights on the possible connection of SARS-CoV-2 and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

A recent study assessed the mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2 Omicron and Alpha VOCs inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and mitigate the risk of a multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children.

Health events amongst pregnant females after COVID-19 vaccination

Researchers evidenced that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines are safe in pregnancy, with lower rates of significant AEFIs in pregnant women than non-pregnant females.

28 Feb 2022

Triple antibody cocktail is a promising candidate for immunotherapy against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern

Researchers generated a panel of bnAbs against SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and its variant VOCs, including Omicron from sequentially immunized mice.

The demise of single-payer in California trips up efforts in other states

Single-payer health care didn't stand a chance in California this year. Even in this deep-blue bastion, Democratic lawmakers shied away from legislation that would have put state government in charge of health care and taxed Californians heavily to do so — a massive transformation that would have forced them to take on the powerful health care industry.
