Long term vaccine response following Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination in hemodialysis patients

Researchers discuss the long-term humoral immune responses in hemodialysis patients after being vaccinated with the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine.

9 Dec 2021

Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein mutation with no associated increase in epidemiological fitness

Researchers from the Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas Margarita Salas have been investigating one of the mutations that typically appear in the Delta variant.

9 Dec 2021

Evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant

Study shows that the omicron variant shares a common ancestry with the VOI lambda and has evolved mainly because of non-synonymous mutations.

Study of individuals referred to a cardiovascular disease clinic designed for patients with long COVID

Scientists discuss the characteristics, diagnostic evaluations, and cardiac diagnoses in patients referred to a clinic designed for patients with PASC.

9 Dec 2021

Disparities in COVID-19 burden among high-risk communities

New study findings demonstrate that non-Whites, lower-income individuals, and individuals with lower education levels have the highest SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and lowest vaccination seroprevalence.

9 Dec 2021

Kinetics and persistence of SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses

New study findings indicate that antibody detection shows a distinct pattern depending on the type of antibody detected, the target antigen, the test design, antibody avidity level, and COVID-19 severity.

9 Dec 2021
