The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused many countries to enact costly restrictions on freedom of movement and business. The rapid transmission of the disease and high mortality amongst at-risk groups such as the immunocompromised lead to the disease-causing over…

The currently available coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines have markedly reduced the burden of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) where available. Still, the global disparity in availability and concerns regarding the emergence of vaccine-evading mutants continue to encourage…

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in an intense focus on the development of vaccines. Animal models have been utilized to evaluate the efficacy of newly developed vaccines and to define molecular and immunologic correlates of protection. Study:…

Is one COVID vaccine better than the other? Four current vaccines — Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, Johnson & Johnson, and AstraZeneca — are highly effective against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), but a new medRxiv* study suggests the level of…

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has affected more than 233 million people worldwide and claimed over 4.7 million lives to date. While it is true that the approved vaccines…

Since the first reported coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) case in December 2019, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genome has continued to mutate and evolve. Some mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 genome might influence the development of effective intervention…

As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic spread across the globe, it caused worldwide health and economic disasters. More quietly, mental health issues also began to increase in both quantity and severity, and there were strong concerns over potentially increasing…

Computational modeling of therapeutic targets is an important part of modern drug design and discovery. Since the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the protein structure of the components of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)…

Like many US states, Texas introduced many different measures to reduce the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), such as masking, social distancing, and the closure of public services and businesses likely to aid the spread of…

The coronavirus 19 (COVID-19), which is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was first reported in Wuhan, China in late 2019. Since then, COVID-19 has caused the deaths of more than 4.5 million people worldwide, along…
