While the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines has been a scientific triumph, the need remains for a globally available vaccine that provides longer-lasting immunity against present and future SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs). Here, we
The expected number of secondary infections arising from each index case, referred to as the reproduction or R number, is a vital summary statistic for understanding and managing epidemic diseases. There are many methods for estimating R
Different strategies have been proposed to treat cytokine storm syndrome (CSS), the final deadly complication of COVID-19. One approach is to target CSS by blocking the interleukin-6 (IL-6) pathway. A promising group of medications blocking the IL-6
CONCLUSION: Patients who received mechanical ventilation had lower overall HRV indices. COVID(+) patients who received mechanical ventilation had lower vagal HRV components. These findings likely indicate clinical applicability, as autonomic control
Emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2 possess mutations that prevent antibody therapeutics from maintaining anti-viral binding and neutralizing efficacy. Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) shown to neutralize Wuhan-Hu-1 SARS-CoV-2 (ancestral) strain have reduced
Multiple clinical and epidemiological studies have shown an interconnection between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and diabetes, but experimental evidence is still lacking. Understanding the interplay between them is important because of the
