New study spotlights effective strategy against COVID-19 variants: the E7 monoclonal antibody

In a recent study published in the Science Advances Journal, a group of researchers developed potent monoclonal antibodies from a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) survivor vaccinated with BNT162b2 that targets the receptor binding domain (RBD) of human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (huACE2)-dependent sarbecovirus. Study: Potent pan huACE2-dependent sarbecovirus neutralizing monoclonal antibodies isolated from a BNT162b2-vaccinated […]

How does SARS-CoV-2 affect the placenta during pregnancy?

In a recent study published in Med, researchers examine host responses to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) within the placenta using transcriptomics. Study: SARS-CoV-2 niches in human placenta revealed by spatial transcriptomics.
