Study paves the way for new therapies, vaccines that lead to stronger immunity against Covid-19

Why do some people become seriously ill with Covid-19, while others have no symptoms at all? The answer may lie in the proteins our immune system has previously been exposed to.

KHN’s ‘What the Health?’: Biden declares the pandemic ‘over’

President Joe Biden's declaration in a national interview that the covid-19 pandemic is "over" has complicated his own administration's efforts to get Congress to provide more funding for treatments and vaccines, and to get the public to go get yet another booster.

Study using circulating spike protein and macrophage dysregulation liquid biomarkers reveals heterogeneity in PASC

In a new study, researchers designed a liquid biomarker panel consisting of macrophage and monocyte-related soluble factors and circulating spike proteins to understand profiles of immune dysregulation in patients with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19.

What role does cross-reactive immunity play in the spread of a novel SARS-CoV-2 variant?

In a new study, researchers used mathematical modeling to examine the effect of cross-reactive immunity from previous infections on an emerging SARS-CoV-2 variant, and explored the probability of the novel variant causing widespread infection or fading out.

Can a commercial breath analysis test detect SARS-CoV-2?

Researchers demonstrated the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by a commercial breath analysis test (BAT).

Does BA.2 breakthrough infection shift cross-neutralization activity towards the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron sublineages?

Researchers investigated the SARS-CoV-2 VOC Omicron's immune escape mechanisms.

What is the efficacy of the BCG vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 infection?

In a new study, researchers assessed the ecological association suggesting the efficacy of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination against COVID-19.

Study explores the effect of age-associated B cells on COVID-19 vaccine-induced immunity

In a new study, a team of researchers explored the effect of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB)-induced expansion of age-associated B cells (ABCs) on COVID-19 vaccine-derived humoral immunity in patients with cancer and inborn errors of immunity (IEI).

How feasible and accurate are self-collected samples for the diagnosis of monkeypox?

Researchers evaluated the performance of monkeypox virus (MPXV)-infected patients' self-collected versus physician-collected clinical samples, including skin lesions, pharyngeal, and rectal swabs in the diagnostic tests.

How did the COVID-19 pandemic alter racial and ethnic disparities in mortality?

Researchers pursued evidence of all-cause mortality disparities during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, its temporal evolution, and whether this disparity persists.

Deep mutational scanning for SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 subvariants

Researchers performed deep mutational scanning for the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant of concern sub-VOC BA.1 and BA.2 receptor-binding domains.

How frequent was SARS-CoV-2 and malaria co-infection during the first wave of the pandemic?

Researchers determined the prevalence of circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants and the frequency of co-occurrence of COVID-19 and malaria in Burkina Faso, West Africa.

22 Sep 2022

All SARS-CoV-2 variants blocked by a simple peptide with nanomolar neutralizing efficacy

In a recent study published in the journal PNAS, researchers from Finland and the United States reported a novel heptad repeat 2 (HR2) peptide that inhibited severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) without any chemical modifications.
