Broadly Protective Antibody‐Like Vaccines Against Highly Pathogenic Coronaviruses
ABSTRACT SARS‐CoV‐2 and MERS‐CoV are highly pathogenic and contagious coronaviruses. Despite intensive vaccination, SARS‐CoV‐2 continues to spread, and no FDA‐approved vaccines exist for MERS‐CoV; thus, more effective and safer vaccine options are needed. The receptor‐binding domain (RBD) of coronaviruses is a primary target of neutralizing antibodies (

Booster mRNA Vaccination Prevents Breakthrough Severe COVID‐19 Infections
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess the humoral immune response following administration of a BNT162b2 mRNA COVID‐19 booster dose and to evaluate its association with the development of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection after vaccination. Between July 2021 and February 2022, serum samples were collected from 313 individuals 28 days after receiving a COVID‐19 ...

In patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) without an obvious cardiac disease, ambulatory electrocardiographic markers can be useful in assessing the risk of severe disease. Particularly, simultaneous positivity of late potential (LP) and T wave alternans (TWA) in patients with COVID‐19 was a poorer prognostic factor than LP or TWA alone ...

Organoids: From Bench to Bedside Applications
Organoids, as a groundbreaking biomedical research platform, utilize adult stem cells (ASCs), embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as sources. By integrating specific growth and differentiation signals within an extracellular matrix (e.g., Matrigel), organoids guide cells to self‐assemble into three‐dimensional ...
