SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has been found in the faeces of infected patients in numerous studies. Stool may remain positive for SARS-CoV-2, even when the respiratory tract becomes negative, and the interaction with the gastrointestinal tract poses a series of questions about...
The SARS-CoV-2 infection causes severe immune disruption. However, it is unclear if disrupted immune regulation still exists and pertains in recovered COVID-19 patients. In our study, we have characterized the immune phenotype of B cells from 15 recovered COVID-19 patients, and found that heal...
3D print of a spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19—in front of a 3D print of a SARS-CoV-2 virus particle. The spike protein (foreground) enables the virus to enter and infect human cells. On the virus model, the virus surface (blue) is covered with spike ...
"When it comes to fighting the spread of this virus, you kind of have to fight every particle individually. And so you need to understand what makes each individual particle degrade," Vershinin said. "People are also working on vaccines and are trying to understand how the virus is recognize...
"The speed with which SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has spread around the world and its toll in numbers of cases, severe illness, and death has been staggering," she said. "However, technological advances have made rapidvaccinedevelopment possible. We have to ask ourselves ...

It is not my intention to address further this point in this short article, but I return briefly to it when considering the other question (secondo: what comes next?). Finalizing now our primo question, let us consider shortly the mentioned peculiar properties of this new virus. Among the ...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an enveloped, positive-strand RNA virus that causes the disease COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease-2019)1. While coronaviruses typically cause relatively mild respiratory diseases, as of February 2021 COVID-19 is on course to kill 2.5 ...
influenza A virus (IAV) is one of the most likely candidates, because around one billion people are estimated to be infected with this virus every year, especially in the winter season. Both SARS-CoV-2 and IAV follow similar transmission routes and mainly cause respiratory diseases. Indeed, qu...
