B.1.617 is more adept at entering cells London: Double-mutant variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS-CoV-2 -- B.1.617 -- that has emerged in India, entered certain types of lung and intestine cells with slightly increased efficiency compared with the original wild-type strain, say researchers. The researchers, including Markus Hoffmann from German Primate Center, also reported that the entry of B.1.617 into the lung and intestinal cells was blocked following treatment with soluble angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) or the serine protease inhibitor Camostat. However, this host ...

Indian SARS-CoV-2 variant shows enhanced host cell entry and immune evasion A study conducted by researchers in Germany has found that the B.1.617 variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that has emerged in India entered certain types of lung and intestine cells with slightly increased efficiency compared with the original wild-type strain. The B.1.617 variant is the lineage thought to be responsible for the sharp rise in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases and deaths in India over recent weeks. The team – from the German Primate Center in Göttingen, t...

I-Tech: Industry needs to tackle barnacle fouling in ship niche areas April 22, 2021, by Naida Hakirevic Barnacle fouling is hugely prevalent in ship niche areas and the shipping industry needs to take steps to mitigate the impact of hard fouling in these areas, research commissioned by Swedish biotechnology company I-Tech AB found. In 2020, I-Tech AB commissioned UK based marine coatings consultants to analyse the hull condition of a 249-ship sample in dry dock spanning four years between 2015-19. As well as finding unacceptable levels of har...
