Plasma SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA as a valuable biomarker for SARS-CoV-2 infection in the lungs

Researchers recently evaluated respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral RNA (vRNA) levels in longitudinal samples collected simultaneously from mechanically ventilated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and analyzed their connections and relationships with clinical outcomes.

COVID-19 symptoms found to vary in different immune contexts

In a new study, researchers studied the kinetics of host response to SARS-CoV-2 infection in a Syrian hamster model, tracking disease pathology, viral loads, antibody responses, and inflammatory cytokine production in multiple organs.

SARS-CoV-2 levels decrease when human SIRT5 is deleted or inhibited

Researchers examine the role of human sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) in SARS-CoV-2 infection.

SARS-CoV-2 viral mutations shown to have a limited effect on T cell immunity

New research suggests that viral mutations have a minimal effect on T cell immunity, which could explain the protection provided by vaccination against severe COVID-19, despite the significant loss of neutralizing antibodies.

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron a product of offensive evolution with compromised antigenicity

Researchers investigate the relationship between the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant and immune system based on self/nonself short constituent sequences.

Scientists estimate transmission advantage of Omicron over Delta variant as +105%

Researchers use statistical models to assess the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron using variant-specific screening tests and genome sequencing.

COVID-19 mitigation behaviors and vaccination status prediction via delay discounting and future orientation

New data imply that cognitive characteristics such as future-oriented thinking, evaluative processing, and behavioral control are linked to the likelihood of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and predict more consistent mitigation behavior implementation.

Omicron spike-specific binding antibodies attenuate disease, despite increasing transmission

Researchers investigate the capacity of vaccine-induced antibodies to generate Fc-effector activity against the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant.
