Survey: About 16% of couples are discordant about COVID-19 vaccination

A small but significant portion of couples contain one partner who is vaccinated against COVID-19 and another partner who is not, a Washington State University survey has found.

Mild SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to tissue damage and shrinkage in brain areas related to smell

Researchers from the University of Oxford have used data from UK Biobank participants to look at changes to the brain on average 4.5 months after mild SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Canadian scientist discusses about how society could better prepare for future pandemics

Aled Edwards is of two minds about medicine's response to COVID-19. On one hand, he notes, we had life-saving vaccines and therapies less than a year after the discovery of SARS-CoV-2. On the other, more than six million, and possibly as many as 18 million people have died, and global access to advances that can prevent and treat severe disease remains highly inequitable.

Study shows the mutations leading to omicron variant did not help virus escape recognition by T cells

People who gained immunity -; either through vaccination or exposure -; against the original strain of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, also are likely to have some protection against the pathogen's omicron variant.

In silico screening and testing of FDA approved drugs inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 spike protein cleavage

Researchers screened 5,000 Food and Drug Association-approved drugs to identify repurposed drugs targeting SARS-CoV-2 spike protein cleavage at both S1/S2 boundary and S2’.
