Rare C-to-G mutations occurred at an unexpectedly high frequency during emergence of SARS-CoV-2 delta variant

SARS-CoV-2 possesses a characteristic surface protein, the spike protein, which plays a central role in viral entry into host cells. The evolution of spike protein mutations has been an important factor in the emergence of viral variants with altered transmissibility and immune-evasion properties. Previous studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 evolution is strongly biased toward certain types of nucleotide substitutions, with C-to-G substitutions occurring only rarely.

High-risk groups forgo vaccination despite it being free

Although influenza and COVID-19 vaccination are offered free of charge to people at increased risk of severe illness, many still choose not to get vaccinated. A new study from Umeå University shows that the main barriers are not financial or related to distance from vaccination services. Instead, those most likely to forgo vaccination were younger individuals, men, smokers, and people with reduced independence.

Vaccines protect most people from serious illness, but the strength of that protection can vary considerably from one person to another. Some people produce a robust immune response, while others respond only weakly.A new study led by Arizona State University helps us understand why.

How membraneless organelles assemble into organized protein hubs

Inside every cell, thousands of proteins must reach the right place at the right time. Helping coordinate this complex logistics network are centriolar satellites—tiny, membraneless organelles that play important roles in protein trafficking, cell division and the formation of cilia.

Red blood cells inspire next-generation therapeutic nanocarriers

Red blood cells serve as the foundation for nanocarriers that show promise in a new study as effective and efficient vehicles for gene therapy, tumor targeting and other medical treatments. Scientists at The Ohio State University have showed that the engineered extracellular vesicles could evade immune cells and target cancer cells, two capabilities that could improve the delivery of future therapies. The study is published in Advanced Healthcare Materials.

A Virus Lab on a Transistor? Saliva Testing Takes a Sci-Fi Turn

The future has arrived carrying a saliva sample and a transistor. Researchers have developed a sensor designed to distinguish respiratory syncytial virus, influenza A, and influenza B in about 15 minutes, using unprocessed saliva. It sounds like a laboratory was shrunk into something closer to an el...
