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.

Research says spill-over of SARS-CoV-2 from humans to cattle is possible

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, a team of researchers assessed the risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission from humans to cattle.

Cannabidiol inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in human cells and mice

In research recently published in the journal of Science Advances, an interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Chicago assessed the potential role of cannabidiol (CBD), a natural product extracted from the cannabis plant, to prevent and inhibit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections in human cells and mice.

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.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination-induced T cells cross-recognize Omicron

In a recent study posted to the Nature In Review* preprint server, researchers performed a comprehensive, in-depth comparison of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific T cell epitope repertoire following natural infection of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) compared to messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccinations.

COVID-19 research made easier with outbreak.info

In a recent paper posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers reveal the development of an open-source database that provides data on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) resources.

Spike-mediated CFTR inhibition accounts for airway inflammation in COVID-19

A new study looks at the molecular level inhibition of the protective CFTR gene by the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

25 Jan 2022

Scientists find reduced vaccine efficacy against Omicron in South Africa and 50 other countries

In a new study, researchers evaluated the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant on the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infections among unvaccinated and vaccinated populations of South Africa and 50 other countries.

25 Jan 2022

Growth advantage of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant found to be partly due to shorter serial interval

In a new study, a team of researchers assessed how serial intervals of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron and Delta variants varied during the same time period in the Netherlands.

25 Jan 2022

Humoral correlate of protection for SARS-CoV-2 may reduce COVID-19 infection risk

In a new study, a team of researchers reviewed the published literature to find evidence for humoral SARS-CoV-2 correlate of protection (CoP).

25 Jan 2022

Accelerating the COVID-19 booster vaccination rate to prevent Omicron variant hospitalizations and deaths

A new study investigates the impact of accelerating the pace of COVID-19 booster vaccination rates in the US in reducing COVID-19-related hospitalizations and mortalities.

Broad and potent neutralizing activity of human IgG1 LALA antibody against SARS-CoV-2 variants

A new study has focused on the identification, in vitro binding, and potent neutralizing activity of STI-9167 (plutavimab) against live viruses and pseudotype viruses.

25 Jan 2022

Impact of a third BNT162b2 dose on SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

In a new study, researchers assessed the extent and duration of the neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant of concern after the administration of two and three doses of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine.
