SARS-CoV-2 mouse model recapitulates human infection
Researchers develop a knock-in mouse expressing human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) to model SARS-CoV-2 infection for research and therapeutic or vaccine testing.

Imaging In-Depth Focus 2020
The articles in this in-depth focus discuss the difficulties in deciding what information to capture when imaging three-dimensional (3D) cell models and the use of non-invasive imaging techniques to discover small molecule drugs to control protein translation.

Protective immunity to SARS-CoV-2 shown in non-human primates
Macaques were protected against SARS-CoV-2 infection both after an initial infection and vaccination with a prototype vaccine, researchers suggest humans could respond similarly.

Novel antibody slows cancer growth and metastasis in mice
The antibody targets a cell receptor in blood vessels and slowed breast and lung cancer growth as well as metastasis in murine models.

Cell types enabling initial COVID-19 infection identified by researchers
An international group of researchers has revealed that goblet and ciliated cells in the nose have high levels of the entry proteins for the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.

Hyperferritinaemia could be causing severe COVID-19
Professor Yehuda Shoenfeld suggests hyperferritinaemia, a condition caused by high ferritin levels, may be causing the severe COVID-19 symptoms.
news
COVID-19 research indicates SARS-CoV-2 exploits immune defences to drive infection
A new study has revealed that less than 10 percent of respiratory and intestinal cells are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and expression of ACE2 receptors is driven by the body's immune response.
news
Novel gene promoters could improve gene therapies for neurological diseases
Novel promoters based on those in the herpes viruses, enabled delivery of larger genes and increased the period they were active in the nervous system.

Plant bio-factories contributing to the COVID-19 fight
Researchers have made the genome of the Nicotiana benthamiana plant, a commonly used bio-factory organism, public to aid in COVID-19 vaccine production.

Human lung epithelium model being tested as a platform for COVID-19 research
The developers of the lung epithelium model plan to investigate whether SARS-CoV-2 can infect and replicate in the model to assess whether it could be used in the fight against COVID-19.

Whitepaper: The first bioactive Wnt1 protein – purification of Wnt1/sFRP complexes
Wnt proteins have been extremely difficult to purify in an active state due to their hydrophobic nature arising from post translational lipid modifications.
