The SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PL^(pro)) is an antiviral drug target that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the viral polyproteins pp1a/1ab, so releasing the non-structural proteins (nsps) 1-3 that are essential for the coronavirus lifecycle. The
Covid-19 lockdowns provided ecologists with a rare opportunity to examine how animals behave when humans are absent. Indeed many studies reported various effects of lockdowns on animal activity, especially in urban areas and other human-dominated
The nonphotodriven electrochemiluminescence (ECL) imageology necessitates concentrated coreacting additives plus longtime exposures. Seeking biosafe and streamlined ensembles can help lower the bar for quality ECL bioimaging to which call the
A better mechanistic understanding of virus-host dependencies can help reveal vulnerabilities and identify opportunities for therapeutic intervention. Of particular interest are essential interactions that enable production of viral proteins, as
CONCLUSION: This study strengthens the evidence of vertical transmission in COVID-19-positive asymptomatic mothers. The data suggest a low transmission rate.
BACKGROUND: Children and adolescents with social pediatric care needs represent a group with special challenges. The aim of this qualitative study was to describe social pediatric care during the pandemic from the perspective of experts. From this
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) utilizes angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as its main receptor for cell entry. We bioengineered a soluble ACE2 protein termed ACE2 618-DDC-ABD that has increased binding to SARS
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that mask adherence was notably lower among close contacts exposed to higher risk. In future public health crises, interventions should be developed to raise awareness about risks and promote adherence to preventive
