The routine clinical diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is largely restricted to real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and tests that detect SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen. Given the diagnostic delay and suboptimal sensitivity...
SARS-CoV-2 reprograms host metabolism to promote viral replication and evade immune responses. While infection is known to impair mitochondrial function and enhance glycolysis, the role of viral accessory proteins in these alterations remains unclear. Here, we investigate the metabolic impact of ...
Objective: Most research reports on COVID-19 infections have focused on the correlation between the severity of the disease symptoms and immune deficits, while the mechanisms affecting the susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 remain largely unknown. The study aimed to comprehensively analyze the differen...
The endemic of SARS-CoV-2 underscores the imperative to elucidate its effects on pregnancy, particularly regarding the potential for vertical transmission and its influence on the early maternal-fetal interface, which remain insufficiently defined. To address this, we performed an extensive cohor...
