Characterization of Immune Responses to RBD‐SD1 Nanoparticle Vaccines Derived From ACE2‐Capable HKU5‐CoV‐2, NeoCoV, and HKU5 Merbecoviruses

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
SpyCatcher‐mi3 nanoparticles presenting HKU5, NeoCoV, and HKU5‐CoV‐2 RBD‐SD1 induced strong, cross‐reactive IgG responses in immunized mice. The surrogate virus neutralization test demonstrated strong activity in sera from homologous vaccination. ABSTRACT Recent discoveries of merbecoviruses such as HKU5, NeoCoV, and HKU5‐CoV‐2 that use angiotensin ...

Characterization and immunogenicity of nanoparticle vaccines displaying embecovirus spike proteins

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Virus‐like particle vaccines displaying spike proteins from OC43, HKU1 A, and HKU1 B were evaluated in mice for their ability to elicit antibodies against the spike proteins from OC43, HKU1 A, HKU1 B, and HKU1 C. Abstract Endemic human coronaviruses OC43 and HKU1 cause widespread respiratory infections and can be associated with severe illness in ...

Regioselective Oxidative Oligomerization of 2‐Tert‐Butylpyrene Toward Structurally Defined Oligomers and Their Application in Organic Light‐Emitting Diodes

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Treatment of 2‐tert‐butylpyrene with Cu2+ afforded structurally well‐defined pyrene oligomers, up to the 13‐mer. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, spectroscopic analyses, and computational studies were conducted to evaluate the properties of the resulting oligopyrenes.

Inter‐Group Agreement in Chest Radiographic Quality Assessment: Comparing Final‐Year Students and Experienced Radiographers Across Three Quality Assessment Domains During the COVID‐19 Pandemic

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Final‐year radiography students and experienced radiographers assessed 70 chest radiographs using structured criteria for positioning, sharpness and anatomical visibility. The level of agreement was good to excellent across all three domains, with an overall ICC of 0.90.

Mining statistically-solid k-mers for accurate NGS error correction

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background NGS data contains many machine-induced errors. The most advanced methods for the error correction heavily depend on the selection of solid k-mers. A solid k-mer is a k-mer frequently occurring in NGS reads.

Mitigating Health Disparities Through Empathetic Policymaking During Times of Crisis

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic greatly exacerbated the existing disparities and inequities in health and healthcare among historically marginalized populations. Today, these impacts still echo. These persistent structured inequities erode the public's trust in government, lead to failure in public policies, and result in worse health consequences ...

Cross-sectional study of MERS-CoV-specific RNA and antibodies in animals that have had contact with MERS patients in Saudi Arabia

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2018
Background: Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a newly emerged coronavirus that is associated with a severe respiratory disease in humans in the Middle East. The epidemiological profiles of the MERS-CoV infections suggest zoonotic

The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to
