The Association of Hypertension with Increased Mortality Rate During the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Update with Meta-analysis by Ahmad R. Al-Qudimat (17337808)

“…Meta-regression analysis results also showed a statistically significant association between hypertension and COVID-19 mortality.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">This systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that hypertension may not be the only risk factor associated with the increased mortality rate during the COVID-19 pandemic. …”

A BRET-based Mpro biosensor containing a nanobody and tandem cleavage sites shows an increased cleavage rate by Geethakumari, Anupriya M

“…Further, mutational analysis revealed a requirement for both cleavage sites to be intact for increased cleavage rate. Importantly, the inclusion of an Mpro-binding, but non-inhibiting, NB2E3 nanobody at the N-terminal further increased the cleavage rate of the 2× cleavage sequence-containing Mpro biosensor. …”
