Nitazoxanide shows promise for COVID-19 treatment in animal model

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* pre-print server, researchers demonstrated that Nitazoxanide (NTZ), an oral drug, broadly inhibits replication of several severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern (VOCs) in preclinical models of infection.

Testes found to be a viral reservoir for SARS-CoV-2 replication

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers used a suite of methods to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the testis of patients who died from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to gain insights into SARS-CoV-2 tropism inside testis and its impact on male fertility.

Wearable sensors for COVID-19 mitigation

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers simulated several wearable sensor deployment scenarios to demonstrate the potential of digital contact tracing technology in mitigating the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Study shows IgA antibodies play a significant role in neutralizing SARS-CoV-2

A recent paper by researchers from Australia, currently available on the medRxiv* preprint server, shows how Immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies in individuals who were infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) contribute to the neutralization of the virus and its variants, even though this response is heterogeneous and less potent when compared to IgG antibodies.

Looking into the long-COVID brain

Neurological issues, ranging from memory lapses to trouble with attention, have been widely reported after recovery from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) infection. Unfortunately, there is limited information about pathways to recovery after severe COVID hospitalization. Now, a prospective study of 4,491 patients hospitalized with COVID suggests neurological recovery can take at least a year. The study is currently available on the medRxiv* preprint while awaiting peer review.
