SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant's effect on COVID-19 vaccine efficacy

In a recent research paper published in the journal Infection, the scientists estimated the transmission and disease severity associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Delta variant and the effectiveness of the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines against the same by conducting a literature review. Further, a meta-analysis was conducted to obtain a numeric estimate of the vaccine effectiveness against the Delta variant.

New blood test quickly detects COVID-19 infection and disease severity

George Washington University researchers have developed a blood test that quickly detects if someone has COVID-19 and predicts how severely the immune system will react to the infection, according to a new study coming out today in PLOS One.

Prion-like domains in SARS-CoV-2 RBD and ACE2 play important functional roles in viral adhesion and entry

Scientists have recently detected and analyzed viral PrDs in the S protein of SARS-CoV-2, which are the novel regulators of virion assembly.

Research shows minks mimic severe COVID-19 symptoms, including ARDS

Minks may be a suitable animal model for testing severe COVID-19 infections, finds a recent bioRxiv* preprint study. While mice and ferrets are used in preclinical severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), there is currently no model specific to severe disease.
