Host and in vitro genomic variability of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants

Researchers from the University of Sydney investigate the genomic variability of SARS-CoV-2 within the host and in vitro.

Scientists develop a smartwatch-based device for early detection of COVID-19

Scientists have developed a wearable device that can detect the early onset of COVID-19 in real-time by analyzing the aberrant changes in physiological parameters caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Structure-guided virtual screening identifies novel SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitors

A new paper deals with the identification of an antiviral compound that could help in developing additional drugs to help fight COVID-19.

UK study finds COVID-19 from Delta and Alpha infections are clinically similar

Research suggests that COVID-19 from Delta or Alpha infections is clinically similar, yet Delta is more transmissible than Alpha.

Predicting the far-field transmission of SARS-CoV-2 indoors

Researchers from the UK predicted the infection rate by the far-field airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 indoors.

30 Nov 2021

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies suggested to be safe to use in pregnancy

Pregnant patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 were treated with MAb and reported no adverse effects.

Increased illness burden of COVID-19 among unvaccinated first responders

A new study gathered data from the HEROES-RECOVER prospective cohorts and reported an increased illness burden of COVID-19 among unvaccinated first responders.

30 Nov 2021

Human LRRC15 protein is an inhibitory receptor for SARS-CoV-2 spike-mediated entry

In a recent study, published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers identified human LRRC15 as an inhibitory receptor for SARS-CoV-2 entry, which directly binds to the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein with a moderate affinity and inhibits spike-mediated entry.

SARS-CoV-2 Delta spike increases viral virulence and inflammatory cytokine production

In a new study published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, scientists investigated several virological features of the Delta spike protein.

29 Nov 2021

New SARS-CoV-2 modeling suggests virus will remain a threat until the end of 2022

Researchers attempt to predict future transmission rates by identifying multiple scenarios that could occur over the next year.

29 Nov 2021

Genetic variations affect and rewire phosphorylation signaling networks in SARS-CoV-2 infection

Researchers study human single nucleotide variants (SNVs) using machine learning to identify amino acid changes that alter kinase-bound sequence motifs.

29 Nov 2021

Glycosylation and disulfide bonding profile of SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein

Researchers found that virus-like particles produced by co-expression of SARS-CoV-2 S, membrane, envelope, and nucleocapsid proteins contain S glycoproteins, which are modified by complex carbohydrates.

29 Nov 2021

Extended host range for SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern

Researchers used viral pseudotyping to examine whether variants of concern had different host ACE2 receptor usage patterns.

Does vaccine or infection induced immunity better protect against SARS-CoV-2 variants?

A study investigated whether vaccine- or infection-induced immunity is relatively less effective against infection by specific VOCs.

Study finds atazanavir inhibits main SARS-CoV-2 protease

Research shows that ATV has different antiviral activity compared to PAXLOVID™, encouraging further research.

29 Nov 2021

How COVID-19 protection conferred by infection is modified by vaccination

The authors of a recent study investigated how vaccination, administered before or after the first COVID-19 infection, modifies the protective effect of the previous infection against reinfection.

29 Nov 2021

COVID-19 surges in the USA, Mexico, and Canada

The authors analyzed the waxing and waning patterns of reported SARS-CoV-2 cases in all states and provinces in the USA, Mexico, and Canada, and across all counties in the USA.

29 Nov 2021

Immunity found 6 months after SARS-CoV-2 infection in children

A new study suggests that infection-induced antibodies persist, providing protection for at least six months.
