SARS-CoV-2-related smell loss lasts longer than previously thought

A recent study discusses the long-term prevalence of olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19 patients.

Game animals as potential drivers of disease emergence

A study characterized the total virome of game animals from five mammalian orders using the total RNA sequencing technique.

Effect of contact networks on SARS-CoV-2 transmission and control

A study demonstrated that the social contacts created in different activity settings affect interventions needed to control outbreaks.

Interactions between SARS-CoV-2 S protein and ACE2 receptor using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy

Researchers used advanced two-color fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy to demonstrate the interaction between human ACE2 and the S1 subunit of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV.

Efficacy of UVC light prototype devices for inactivating SARS-CoV-2

Researchers examined the efficacy of UVC light prototype devices to understand the duration and wavelength of UVC radiation needed for SARS-CoV-2 inactivation.

Nationwide Swedish study strengthens evidence for a third booster COVID vaccine dose

A nationwide study from Sweden investigates the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination against the risk of symptomatic infection, hospitalization, and death up to 9 months post-vaccination. This study is published on the Preprints with The Lancet website while awaiting peer review.

SARS-CoV-2 protease suppresses host immune response by cleaving NEMO

A recent study conducted by a team of US-based scientists has highlighted a novel function of 3C-like protease of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The protease has been found to cleave a human immune signaling protein called NF-kB Essential Modulator (NEMO) and disrupt the host immune response.

Urinary SARS-CoV-2 RNA is a prognosticator of COVID-19

A new study published in the journal Diagnostics was based on the hypothesis that detecting urinary SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid––which may result in renal and cardiovascular endothelial destruction to facilitate viral access to the kidney parenchyma—may be used as a specific biomarker to indicate the severity of COVID-19.

Ensemble cryo-electron microscopy uncovers conformational states of the nsp13 helicase of SARS-CoV-2

With this background, the goal of a new study published on the bioRxiv* preprint server was to use cryo-electron microscopy to investigate the nsp13 helicase conformational states in order to gain insights of how nsp13 functions during viral transcription/replication.

What genes affect the COVID-19 gender imbalance?

Many studies have established that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is more infective in men than women, and men are more at risk of severe disease. While some have suggested that behavioral differences could explain increased transmission to men, this does not explain the more morbid prognosis.

How effective is the COMIRNATY BNT162b2 vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 Lambda variant?

Now, researchers from Public Health Services Israel have been investigating a new variant called Lambda to see if it qualifies as a variant of concern. Their research is published in the journal Eurosurveillance.

New atomic-level insight of SARS-CoV-2 within a respiratory aerosol

In a paradigm-shifting paper currently available on the bioRxiv* preprint server, the researchers have dramatically extended the possibilities of computational microscopy in order to better understand both structure and dynamics of respiratory aerosols laden with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
