SARS-CoV-2 infection elicits a rapid neutralizing antibody response that correlates with disease severity
(Nature Research, 2021-01-28)
The protective effect of neutralizing antibodies in SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals is not yet well defined. To address this issue, we have analyzed the kinetics of neutralizing antibody responses and ...
Expression analysis of porcine miR-33a/b in liver, adipose tissue and muscle and its potential role in fatty acid metabolism
(Public Library of Science, 2021-01-26)
mir-33a and mir-33b are co-transcribed with the SREBF2 and SREBF1 transcription factors, respectively. The main role of SREBF1 is the regulation of genes involved in fatty acid metabolism, while SREBF2 ...
Enhanced antiviral immunity and dampened inflammation in llama lymph nodes upon MERS-CoV sensing: bridging innate and adaptive cellular immune responses in camelid reservoirs
(Frontiers Media, 2023-06-14)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection can cause fatal pulmonary inflammatory disease in humans. Contrarily, camelids and bats are the main reservoir hosts, tolerant for ...

(Elsevier, 2024-01-17)
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an emerging zoonotic virus of public and
animal health concern, of which felids have been suggested as potential reservoirs. Although ...
Use of the informational spectrum methodology for rapid biological analysis of the novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV: prediction of potential receptor, natural reservoir, tropism and therapeutic/vaccine target [version 1; peer review: awaiting peer review]
(F1000Research, 2020-01-27)
A novel coronavirus recently identified in Wuhan, China (2019-nCoV) has
expanded the number of highly pathogenic coronaviruses affecting
humans. The 2019-nCoV represents a potential epidemic or ...
An anti-SARS-CoV-2 metabolite is reduced in diabetes
(Nature Research, 2022-05-09)
A glucose-like metabolite, which is reduced in the serum of diabetic patients, inhibits the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into key cellular targets. The work led by Cheng and colleagues provides a molecular ...
Unraveling the antiviral activity of plitidepsin against SARS-CoV-2 by subcellular and morphological analysis
(Elsevier, 2022-02-26)
The pandemic caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has made evident the need for broad-spectrum, efficient antiviral treatments to combat emerging and re-emerging viruses. Plitidepsin is an antitumor ...
Rapid SARS-CoV-2 Inactivation in a Simulated Hospital Room Using a Mobile and Autonomous Robot Emitting Ultraviolet-C Light
(Oxford University Press, 2021-11-20)
The spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) since 2019 has made mask-wearing, physical distancing, hygiene, and disinfection complementary measures to control virus ...
Welfare of equidae during transport
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-09-07)
In the framework of its Farm to Fork Strategy, the Commission is undertaking a comprehensive evaluation of animal welfare legislation. This opinion deals with the protection of horses and donkeys during ...
