SARS-CoV-2

[Science Translational Medicine] Scientists revealed that S protein glycosylation had site-differential effects on viral infectivity. They found that S protein generated by lung epithelial cells had glycoforms associated with increased infectivity.

[Journal of Reproductive Immunology] Investigators hypothesized that decidual leukocytes were altered by maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy and that this decidual immune response was shaped by the timing of infection during gestation.

[Journal of infectious Diseases] The authors studied urine and blood nucleocapsid antigen using a highly sensitive immunoassay in 82 patients with a SARS-CoV-2 infection proven by PCR.

[Nature News] Report authors say that the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 jumped to people from animals sold at the market on two occasions in late 2019 — but some scientists want more definitive evidence.

[Current Oncology Reports] The role of tyrosine kinase inhibitors as protective factors against SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with CML should be confirmed by large-scale epidemiologic studies.

[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] Researchers enrolled cases of pandemic chilblains in a study and performed detailed immune profiling of antibody and T cell responses.
