Coronaviruses have caused widespread disease and death worldwide, leading to the implementation of lockdown measures and the closure of educational institutions in various countries. This research aims to investigate the impact of social isolation on
CONCLUSIONS: Vaccinated adults showed significantly higher lymphocyte SI to SP than unvaccinated indicating that SI ranges ≥4 should be set as unequivocally diagnostic of LTT-positive adaptive immune responses to tested antigen. This analysis
SARS-CoV-2 infections in children are generally asymptomatic or mild and rarely progress to severe disease and hospitalization. Why this is so remains unclear. Here we explore the potential for protection due to pre-existing cross-reactive seasonal
CONCLUSION: The pandemic exposed pre-existing structural problems in LMICs and HICs. Without neglecting individual contextual factors in the observed countries, we created a mosaic of different voices of experts in bioethics across the globe, drawing
People with diabetes feature a life-risking susceptibility to respiratory viral infection, including influenza and SARS-CoV-2 (ref. ¹), whose mechanism remains unknown. In acquired and genetic mouse models of diabetes, induced with an acute pulmonary
Previous studies have reported an association between the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing regulations and longing for touch (LFT; i.e., a discrepancy between actual touch frequency and one's desire to be touched). However, less is known about
This descriptive study examined patterns and trends in coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination rates and drivers among people living, working, or socializing in urban neighborhoods of predominantly Black and Hispanic communities and compared them with the
ACE2 has been confirmed to be a functional receptor for SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, but research on animal coronaviruses, especially PEDV, are still unknown. The present study investigated whether ACE2 plays a role in receptor recognition and subsequent
Methylation is one of the critical modifications that regulates numerous biological processes. Guanine capping and methylation at the 7^(th) position (m⁷G) have been shown to mature mRNA for increased RNA stability and translational efficiency. The
