|
|
| Researchers conducted a comprehensive population genetic study of over thirteen million SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences, collected over a timeframe of ~3 years, to investigate these forces. [npj Viruses] |
|
|
|
| Scientists compared the functional status, level of physical activity, fatigue, and quality of life (QoL) of patients with Long COVID to other COVID-19 patients who did not develop persistent illness, and to determined whether there is a relationship between these variables and QoL. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators determined the seroconversion rate of neutralizing antibodies against wild-type SARS-CoV-2 and variants of concern at day 28 after the third dose of vaccine and day 28 after the fourth dose of vaccine. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers implicated heat shock protein 27 as a marker of advanced pathogenesis of disease contributing to the dysregulated systemic inflammation and worse clinical outcomes in COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome and therefore may represent a potential therapeutic target.

|
|
| Scientists employed a chemo-proteomics approach with a bifunctional cholesterol probe and showed that cholesterol was closely associated with the Zika virus structural protein prM. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| The authors showed that senescent cells accumulated in aged human brain organoids and that senolytics reduced age-related inflammation and rejuvenated transcriptomic aging clocks. [Nature Aging] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the potential role of gasdermin D in promoting the development of severe influenza A virus (IAV) disease. IAV infection resulted in cleavage of GSDMD in vivo and in vitro in lung epithelial cells. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Researchers performed a quantitative proteomic analysis to fully characterize the Nef-induced changes in protein composition of T cell-derived extracellular vesicles and identified novel host targets of HIV. [Molecular & Cellular Proteomics] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists delve into the potential influence of nirmatrelvir on enduring immunity. In parallel, the potential of drug repurposing is explored, with bisphosphonates being examined for their possible effects against COVID-19 due to their immunomodulatory properties. [Cellular & Molecular Immunology] |
|
|
|
| The authors discuss the biological effects of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on post-acute disease in the context of tissue and organ adaptations and damage. [European Journal Of Human Genetics] |
