A new bacterial two-hybrid assay to study SARS-CoV-2 interactome

Recently, scientists have developed a bacterial two-hybrid (B2H) system to study the PPIs of SARS-CoV-2 in a heterologous non-eukaryotic system. This study is available on the bioRxiv* preprint server. Put simply, the B2H system could be used to analyze the SARS-CoV-2 proteome.

Delta SARS-CoV-2 variant does not make kids sicker than Alpha, study finds

Children are not at risk for more severe COVID-19 disease with Delta compared to earlier severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants, finds a new medRxiv* preprint study. In the first large-scale epidemiological study comparing SARS-CoV-2 infection between variants in children, researchers found children were more likely to be as sick from Delta as they would be if they were infected with the Alpha variant.

A national statistics study on vaccine uptake disparity in England

The disparity in vaccination rates across England is investigated based on demographic variables, finding significant differences based on ethnicity and religion.

Higher COVID-19 hospitalization and mortality rates reported in rural America

A recent study discusses variations in the hospitalization and mortality rates due to SARS-CoV-2 infection among rural and urban regions in the U.S.

11 Oct 2021

COVID-19 vaccination elicits broader antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 spike than infection

A recent study demonstrates that antibodies generated in response to mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination target more epitopes across the spike protein.
