Promotion of access to essential medicines for Non-Communicable Diseases: Practical implications of the UN Political Declaration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Access to medicines and vaccines to prevent and treat non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is unacceptably low worldwide. In the 2011 UN political declaration on the prevention and control of NCDs, heads of government made several commitments related to ...

Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity response to SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 patients

open access: yesSignal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2021
Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) responses to viral infection are a form of antibody regulated immune responses mediated through the Fc fragment. Whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) triggered ADCC responses

Ten emerging SARS-CoV-2 spike variants exhibit variable infectivity, animal tropism, and antibody neutralization

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Li Zhang, Zhimin Cui, and Qianqian Li et al. compare the infectivity, host tropism, and antigenicity of 10 SARS-CoV-2 variants using a VSV-based pseudovirus system. Their results suggest that variants carrying E484K display the most significant reduction

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
