LL‐37 Inhibits TMPRSS2‐Mediated S2' Site Cleavage and SARS‐CoV‐2 Infection but Not Omicron Variants
Cathelicidin LL‐37 inhibits SARS‐CoV‐2 by blocking the catalytic activity of TMPRSS2. The N764K mutation in the spike S2 subunit of Omicron variants confers resistance to LL‐37‐induced inhibition of TMPRSS2‐mediated S2' priming.

Global Interdependence, Just Vaccine Allocation, and Compensatory Justice: A New Model
ABSTRACT During the COVID‐19 pandemic, numerous models were offered for how scarce vaccine resources should be distributed.
