Cryptic pocket on the surface of SARS-CoV-2 may be a promising treatment target


Cryptic pocket on the surface of SARS-CoV-2 may be a promising treatment target
In a new study currently available on the
bioRxiv preprint server, a multinational group of researchers modeled an entire membrane-embedded spike glycoprotein of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and highlighted the potential of a specific mapping approach for unveiling cryptic, potentially druggable pockets on the viral surface.
The ongoing global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has instigated a rapid response in terms of vaccine and drug development targeting the causative agent, SARS-CoV-2. One of its salient targets is the spike glycoprotein, which recognizes the receptor and mediates viral entry into the cell. ....

Has any event in modern times highlighted the impact of infectious diseases as starkly as the COVID-19 pandemic? After more than 12 months, it’s hard to remember a moment when issues surrounding infectious diseases have felt more central to all aspects of life.
Scientific infrastructure and sustained research funding play key roles in the global fight against emerging infectious diseases. As part of an initiative implemented by Portugal during its presidency of the Council of the EU, EMBL and Portugal are collaborating to bring together key international experts to address topics such as infectious diseases, immunology, and the molec ....

Differing immune responses discovered in asymptomatic cases vs those with severe COVID-19


 E-Mail
The largest study of its type in the UK has identified differences in the immune response to COVID-19, between people with no symptoms, compared to those suffering a more serious reaction to the virus.
Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, Newcastle University, University College London, University of Cambridge, EMBL s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and their collaborators within the Human Cell Atlas initiative, found raised levels of specific immune cells in asymptomatic people. They also showed people with more serious symptoms had lost these protective cell types, but gained inflammatory cells. These differences in the immune response could help explain serious lung inflammation and blood clotting symptoms, and could be used to identify potential targets for developing therapies. ....
