Mashup Score: 19Vaccine-mediated protection against Merbecovirus and Sarbecovirus challenge in mice - 7 month(s) ago
Martinez et al. demonstrate proof of concept that a single ferritin nanoparticle vaccine displaying the receptor-binding domains of MERS-related and SARS-related zoonotic, epidemic, and pandemic coronaviruses elicits broadly cross-reactive binding and neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 variants and protects against lethal SARS-CoV and highly pathogenic MERS-CoV disease in mice.

Mashup Score: 7Can we control dengue? - 7 month(s) ago
Climate change is affecting temperatures and amount of rainfall in many countries, thus favouring the spread of vector-borne diseases. This year, large dengue outbreaks are occurring in Latin America and southeast Asia. Bangladesh is facing its worst dengue outbreak on record: as of Sept 4, 2023, 133 134 dengue cases have been detected, with 646 deaths. In Cox’s Bazar, where many Rohingya refugees live, as of Aug 30, 2023, 9670 persons (1214 Bangladeshi and 8456 Rohingya) had tested positive for dengue.

Mashup Score: 14
Sankhala et al. use Zika virus as a bait to identify potent neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that are highly specific to Zika virus. These mAbs bind conformational epitopes across the virion dimer-dimer interface and provide protection against infection in a mouse Zika virus challenge model.

Mashup Score: 2
Phospholipid scramblase 1 (PLSCR1), a protein induced by IFNγ, acts as a defence factor against SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses by inhibiting the fusion of the virus with host-cell membranes.

Mashup Score: 0Efficacy of the oral nucleoside prodrug GS-5245 (Obeldesivir) against SARS-CoV-2 and coronaviruses with pandemic potential - 11 month(s) ago
Despite the wide availability of several safe and effective vaccines that can prevent severe COVID-19 disease, the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) that can partially evade vaccine immunity remains a global health concern. In addition, the emergence of highly mutated and neutralization-resistant SARS-CoV-2 VOCs such as BA.1 and BA.5 that can partially or fully evade (1) many…

Mashup Score: 16Vaccine-mediated protection against merbecovirus and sarbecovirus challenge in mice - 12 month(s) ago
The emergence of three distinct highly pathogenic human coronaviruses, SARS-CoV in 2003, MERS-CoV in 2012, and SARS-CoV-2 in 2019, underlines the need to develop broadly active vaccines against the Merbecovirus and Sarbecovirus betacoronavirus subgenera. While SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are highly protective against severe COVID-19 disease, they do not protect against other sarbecoviruses or…

Our paper characterizing a MERS-related 🦇 #CoV is out in @ScienceTM ! In this study we evaluated the ability of Bt-CoV 422 to replicate in primary human airway cells partially evade countermeasures. TLDR: merbecoviruses are poised for emergence (1/2) https://t.co/qsCK2yU0pQ
