For older adults, smelling the roses may be more difficult

The reports from covid-19 patients are disconcerting. Only a few hours before, they were enjoying a cup of pungent coffee or the fragrance of flowers in a garden. Then, as if a switch had been flipped, those smells disappeared.

Comparison of peptides from human cardiac proteins and SARS-CoV-2 proteins

A new study investigated whether linear peptides contained in proteins (primarily expressed in the heart) also occur in the SARS-CoV-2 proteome.

Study compares NAbs from natural SARS-CoV-2 infection vs. vaccine induced against symptomatic infection

Scientists have recently compared the levels of antibody concentrations in unvaccinated, SARS-CoV-2 convalescent individuals and COVID-19 specific antibodies in vaccinated individuals.

An antiviral regimen based on biomimetic polymers for COVID-19

In a new study published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, scientists proposed the aforementioned mechanism of action (MOA) and have validated it using electron photomicrographs of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), which were incubated with a nanoviricide.

New algorithm uses data from smartwatches to detect bodily stress, including COVID-19

Using data from smartwatches, a new algorithm reads heart rate as a proxy for physiological or mental stress, potentially alerting wearers they're falling ill before they have symptoms.

Longer between-dose intervals for COVID-19 vaccines may significantly reduce mortality

A recent study, currently available on the medRxiv* preprint server, has shown how longer dosing intervals of vaccines against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) may be able to minimize mortality in low- and middle-income countries in the WHO European region – and significantly change our vaccination strategy.

Natural COVID-19 infection offers protection from gamma and delta variants of SARS-CoV-2

Natural infection with COVID-19 offered protection from reinfection when the gamma and delta variants predominated, according to a new University of Michigan study that also provides levels of antibodies needed to protect against reinfections.

Northwestern researchers continue to tackle every facet of COVID-19 pandemic

As the COVID-19 pandemic nears the two-year mark, Northwestern Medicine scientists continue to tackle every facet of the disease, from investigating coronavirus vaccines' potential for providing immunity against similar coronaviruses to developing novel rapid antigen-based tests and examining disparities in COVID-19 case and mortality rates in Chicago.

New strategy for antibodies to distort viruses discovered

It is widely understood that antibodies neutralize viruses by latching onto their surfaces and blocking them from infecting host cells.

Omicron and other coronavirus variants: What you need to know

Americans, already weary of a pandemic nearly two years long, were dealt a new blow during the long Thanksgiving weekend: the announcement that a new coronavirus variant had emerged.

30 Nov 2021

Study shows that nucleic acid amplification tests more accurate in detecting SARS-CoV-2 than rapid antigen

Researchers use reference preparations from pooled swab samples to compare the analytical sensitivity of different SARS-CoV-2 assays

30 Nov 2021

Prior infection with SARS-CoV-2 continues to provide protection from reinfection

Researchers from the University of Michigan investigated the correlation between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the severity of reinfections.

30 Nov 2021

Potentially neurotoxic SARS-CoV-2 protein fragments

Researchers investigate potentially amyloidogenic peptide fragments that could be associated with the neurological symptoms of COVID-19 and long-COVID.

30 Nov 2021

Host and in vitro genomic variability of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants

Researchers from the University of Sydney investigate the genomic variability of SARS-CoV-2 within the host and in vitro.

Structure-guided virtual screening identifies novel SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitors

A new paper deals with the identification of an antiviral compound that could help in developing additional drugs to help fight COVID-19.

30 Nov 2021

UK study finds COVID-19 from Delta and Alpha infections are clinically similar

Research suggests that COVID-19 from Delta or Alpha infections is clinically similar, yet Delta is more transmissible than Alpha.

With federal covid sick leave gone, workers feel pressure to show up at work

Economists and public health experts alike say paid sick leave is an essential tool — like testing, masks and vaccines — in the effort to prevent covid-19 infection and keep workplaces safe.
