Study finds overexpression of 3 SARS-CoV-2 genes could globally compromise transcriptome of human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes

In a recent study, whole mRNA-seq was used to investigate the global effects of SARS-CoV-2 viral genes Nsp6, Nsp8, and M on the transcriptome of hPSC-CMs.

COVID-19 vaccine does not lead to infertility in either men or women

In a recent prospective cohort study accepted to the American Journal of Epidemiology, researchers observed links between female and male coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and fecundability or the per-cycle likelihood of conception in North American couples seeking to conceive.

SARS-CoV-2 infection found in wild white-tailed deer in Canada

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, scientists investigated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in white-tailed deer (WTD) in southern Québec, Canada, as part of a more extensive pan-Canadian analysis into SARS-CoV-2 spillover into wildlife. To further define SARS-CoV-2 infection in this species, researchers used viral genomes and isolation.

How artificial intelligence is poised to reshape medicine

In a recent review published in the journal of Nature Medicine, researchers discussed the results of a two-year weekly effort to track and communicate significant developments in medical (artificial intelligence) AI. They included prospective studies as well as developments in medical image analysis that have narrowed the gap between research and implementation.

Study finds Omicron infection effectively induces immunity against itself and enhances protection against other variants in vaccinated individuals

Researchers investigated the effectiveness of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron-variant induced immunity, whether it is cross-protective against other variants, and if earlier infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant offers protection against Omicron.

Females more prone to long-term post-COVID-19 symptoms

In a recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, researchers described the results of a multi-center study (LONG-COVID-EXP-CM) that investigated sex differences in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related symptoms and long-term post-COVID-19 symptoms in a group of previously hospitalized COVID-19 survivors in a large Spanish population.

Wastewater-based epidemiology to predict emerging new SARS-CoV-2 variants

In a new study, researchers established a strong approach for deducing public health-relevant epidemiological metrics like relative variant abundance and variant-specific reproduction numbers from wastewater (WW)-derived deep sequenced SARS-CoV-2 genomes.

Better global health equality could prevent emergence of future SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern

In a new study, researchers used a simple phenomenological model to investigate the role of immunocompromised hosts in SARS-CoV-2 antigenic development.

Dexamethasone shown to upregulate innate and adaptive immune responses in COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome patients

In a new study, researchers used per protocol bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples after intubation to evaluate the transcriptomic profiles of the local pulmonary host responses during early-stage severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS), non-COVID-19 ARDS, and sepsis.
