New variants of SARS-CoV-2 are a major source of concern, especially for pregnant women and in the perinatal context. The primary aim of this study was to compare the severity of COVID-19 infection in pregnant women depending on strain predominance between wild-type Alpha and Gamma variants....
Additionally, evaluating antibiotic sensitivity, adherence to host tissues, and hemolysis assays, along with conducting animal experimental models, can help determine safety. These methods are commonly used to assess strain safety [53,54]. Moreover, some researchers have assessed strain safety at the ...
transcription in non-erythroid cells. Our study is the first to demonstrate alpha-globin mRNA expression in syncytiotrophoblasts in PE, induced by hypoxia. However, gamma-globin was only expressed in erythrocytes. We conclude that alpha-globin, but not HbF, is expressed in placental syncytio...
