BRET-based biosensors for SARS-CoV-2 oligonucleotide detection by Asfia Sultana (19170880)

“…Specifically, we designed BioODs against the SARS-CoV-2 parental (Wuhan strain) and B.1.617.2 Delta variant through the conjugation of specific, fluorescently modified molecular beacons (sensor module) through a complementary oligonucleotide handle DNA functionalized with the NanoLuc (NLuc) luciferase protein such that the dissolution of the molecular beacon loop upon the binding of the viral oligonucleotide will result in a decrease in BRET efficiency and, thus, a change in the bioluminescence spectra. …”

Fetoplacental transmission and placental response to SARS-CoV-2: Evidence from the literature by Henry C. Ezechukwu (13253406)

Soluble Neuropilin-1 Response to Hypoglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes: Increased Risk or Protection in SARS-CoV-2 Infection? by Abu Saleh Md Moin (6189512)

“…The Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) is activated in type 2 diabetes (T2D); therefore, the aim of this study was to determine if hypoglycaemia-induced stress in T2D would potentiate serum NRP1(sNRP1) levels, reflecting an increased risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection.</p><h3>Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">A case-control study of aged-matched T2D (n = 23) and control (n = 23) subjects who underwent a hyperinsulinemic clamp over 1-hour to hypoglycemia(<40mg/dl) with subsequent timecourse of 4-hours and 24-hours. …”

SARS‐CoV‐2 infection triggers more potent antibody‐dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) responses than mRNA‐, vector‐, and inactivated virus‐based COVID‐19 vaccines by Hadeel T. Zedan (12535521)

“…Here, we investigated ADCC activity in convalescent sera from infected patients with wild‐type (WT) severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) or omicron variant compared with three coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) vaccine platforms and postvaccination breakthrough infection (BTI). …”

Forecast of the outbreak of COVID-19 using artificial neural network: Case study Qatar, Spain, and Italy by Moayyad Shawaqfah (17280637)

“…The model sensitivity was analyzed using the root mean square error (RMSE), the mean absolute percentage error and the regression coefficient index R2, which yielded highly accurate values of the predicted correlation for the infected and dead cases of 0.99 for the dates considered. The verified and validated growth model of COVID-19 for these countries showed the effects of the measures taken by the government and medical sectors to alleviate the pandemic effect and the effort to decrease the spread of the virus in order to reduce the death rate. …”
