Mashup Score: 6Structural dynamics in the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein - Nature Communications - 1 year(s) ago
In this paper, the authors use hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to describe how the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein has evolved its structural dynamics features and receptor binding capability from the emergence of the original Wuhan isolate to the recent omicron variant. The findings reported shed light on the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in the human population and the mechanisms of…

Mashup Score: 0Compound in the herb rosemary may be useful against COVID-19 and other inflammatory diseases - 2 year(s) ago
Scientists find evidence that carnosic acid can block SARS-CoV-2 infection and reduce inflammation. February 01, 2022 LA JOLLA, CA—A team co-led by scientists at Scripps Research has found evidence that a compound contained in the medicinal and culinary herb rosemary could be a two-pronged weapon against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The scientists, in experiments described…

Mashup Score: 5
The protein-based vaccine delivers particles that mimic the shape of a whole virus; early tests in mice suggest it also may work against variants of SARS-CoV-2. March 19, 2021 LA JOLLA, CA—Scientists at Scripps Research have created an experimental COVID-19 vaccine that works differently than vaccines currently in use—and may provide some important advantages, according to…

Mashup Score: 8Unbiased Screens Show CD8+ T Cells of COVID-19 Patients Recognize Shared Epitopes in SARS-CoV-2 that Largely Reside outside the Spike Protein - 4 year(s) ago
Ferretti et al. reveal specific SARS-CoV-2 epitopes that are broadly shared by CD8+ T cells of COVID-19 patients but exhibit limited cross-reactivity with seasonal coronaviruses. Most epitopes are located outside of the spike protein, suggesting that next-generation vaccines incorporating these epitopes might be needed to generate more robust and durable immunity.
