Intragenomic rearrangements help explain how SARS-CoV-2 variants arise

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers presented the intragenomic rearrangements of β-coronaviruses (CoVs), including severe acute respiratory syndrome CoV 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Elevated P2X7 receptor levels in COVID-19 patients correlate with disease severity

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv preprint server, researchers demonstrated that the soluble P2X7 receptor is increased in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) patients. They also showed that the elevated P2X7 receptors correlated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity.

Lower exosome component 2 expression protects against clinical SARS-CoV-2 infection

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers demonstrated that the lower expression of EXOSC2 human protein safeguards from clinical coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This protective effect was via the reduced EXOSC2 expression-associated suppression of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication.

9 Mar 2022

Assessment of oligonucleotides as COVID-19 treatment

A recent study posted to the bioRxiv* pre-print server assessed the ability of oligonucleotides in preventing the development of infectious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virions.

8 Mar 2022

Challenges and solutions for long-COVID

A recent study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine investigated the challenges and solutions associated with the unbiased estimation of post coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) sequelae.

COVID-19 may cause brain shrinkage in some people

In a recent study posted to the journal Nature as an unedited manuscript, researchers assessed the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-associated brain changes among United Kingdom (UK) Biobank patients.

Study suggests recent common cold may actually lead to worse COVID-19 disease

A new study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases shines an unexpected light on the notion that pre-existing immunity to common cold coronaviruses can protect us from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) – and reveals that this may actually put certain individuals at risk of more severe clinical presentations.
