Mashup Score: 481Developing inhibitory peptides against SARS-CoV-2 envelope protein - 1 month(s) ago
The envelope protein is highly conserved among human coronaviruses, suggesting it could be a good drug target. Here, the authors develop a platform for the identification and optimization of peptides targeting the coronavirus envelope, and show that iPep-SARS2-E inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection in lung organoids and in mice.

Mashup Score: 3822The role of COVID-19 vaccines in preventing post-COVID-19 thromboembolic and cardiovascular complications - 1 month(s) ago
Objective To study the association between COVID-19 vaccination and the risk of post-COVID-19 cardiac and thromboembolic complications. Methods We conducted a staggered cohort study based on national vaccination campaigns using electronic health records from the UK, Spain and Estonia. Vaccine rollout was grouped into four stages with predefined enrolment periods. Each stage included all individuals eligible for vaccination, with no previous SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 vaccine at the start date. Vaccination status was used as a time-varying exposure. Outcomes included heart failure (HF), venous thromboembolism (VTE) and arterial thrombosis/thromboembolism (ATE) recorded in four time windows after SARS-CoV-2 infection: 0–30, 31–90, 91–180 and 181–365 days. Propensity score overlap weighting and empirical calibration were used to minimise observed and unobserved confounding, respectively. Fine-Gray models estimated subdistribution hazard ratios (sHR). Random effect meta-analyses were

Mashup Score: 2330stats - 1 month(s) ago
The 2023-2024 fall and winter virus season, four years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, provided ongoing evidence of the changing face of respiratory diseases. COVID-19 remains an important public health threat, but it is no longer the emergency that it once was, and its health impacts increasingly resemble those of other respiratory viral illnesses, including influenza and RSV. This reality enables CDC to provide updated guidance proportionate to the current level of risk COVID-19 poses while
