SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause persistent respiratory sequelae. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we report that sub-lethally infected K18-human ACE2 mice show patchy pneumonia associated with histiocytic inflammation and
As an expert in the field of drug design and discovery, I tried, in this up-to-date perspective or commentary article, to recap and shed light on the previous and latest revolutionary strategies employed in medicinal and therapeutic chemistry to
The unprecedented proliferation of disposable face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with their improper disposal, threatens to exacerbate the already concerning issue of plastic pollution. This study evaluates the role of environmentally
Viruses cause a large burden of human infectious diseases. During the past 50 years, antivirals have been developed to treat many pathogenic viruses, including herpesviruses, retroviruses, hepatitis viruses, and influenza. Besides being used as
Aging is an intricate process characterized by the gradual deterioration of the physiological integrity of a living organism. This unfortunate phenomenon inevitably leads to a decline in functionality and a heightened susceptibility to the ultimate
Accurate and efficient affinity measurement techniques are essential for the biophysical characterization of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, one of the fastest growing drug classes. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is widely used for determining
Our results highlight the plasticity of SARS-CoV-2 Spike to generate highly fusogenic and cytopathic strains with the causative mutations being uncharacterized in previous variants. We describe mechanisms regulating the formation of syncytia and the
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is readily transmitted from person to person. We evaluated the emerging landscape of SARS-CoV-2 variants in Bangladesh from a retrospective study of nasopharyngeal swabs collected from 130
COVID-19 is a systemic inflammatory disease initiated by SARS-CoV-2 virus infection. Multiple vaccines against Wuhan variant of SARS-CoV-2 have been developed including a whole virion beta-propiolactone-inactivated vaccine based on B.1.1 strain
