Under increasing anthropogenic pressure, species with a previously contiguous distribution across their ranges have been reduced to small fragmented populations. The critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise ( Neophocaena asiaeorientalis
Angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2) is a monocarboxypeptidase expressed throughout multiple tissues and its catalysis of bioactive peptides regulates the renin-angiotensin system mediating blood pressure homeostasis. ACE2 is implicated in a
We investigated the impact of the fourth dose with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AstraZeneca) in the humoral immune response to SARS-CoV-2 during a 9-month follow-up period in which Omicron was the predominant variant in Brazil. IgG for the SARS-CoV-2 spike
The worldwide effort to develop a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 has led to a revolution in vaccinology by introducing a completely new class of vaccines messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine. The mRNA-based vaccine is a singular molecule made in the lab that
Recovered COVID-19 patients frequently suffer of cognitive disorders. Several etiopathogenetic mechanisms have been considered for the brain complications in COVID-19 but results are uncertain. Amongst them, an olfactory route to SARS-CoV-2 brain
SARS-CoV-2 cysteine proteases are essential nonstructural proteins due to their role in the formation of the virus multiple enzyme replication-transcription complex. As a result, those functional proteins are extremely relevant targets in the
COVID-19 vaccine uptake in the United States has proved challenging. A deeper characterization extending beyond demographics and political ideologies of those hesitating or resisting is needed to guide ongoing conversations. This study examined
