Spotlight on Covid-19 Research Publications

Hoang, T.N., Pino, M., Boddapati, A.K. et al.. Baricitinib treatment resolves lower airway inflammation and neutrophil recruitment in SARS-CoV-2-infected rhesus macaques. This article is a preprint and has not been certified by peer review, doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.09.16.300277 Effective therapeutics aimed at mitigating COVID-19 symptoms are urgently needed. SARS-CoV-2 induced hypercytokinemia and systemic inflammation are associated with disease severity. Baricitinib, a clinically approved JAK1/2 inhibitor with potent anti-inflammatory properties is currently being investigated in COVID-19 human clinical trials. Recent reports suggest that baricitinib...

Spotlight on Covid-19 Research Publications

Rutkai, I., Mayer, M.G., Hellmers, L.M., et al. Neuropathology and Virus in Brain of SARS-CoV-2 Infected Non-Human Primates. This article is a preprint and has not been certified by peer review. DOI: 10.21203/rs.3.rs-59871/v1 Neurological manifestations are a significant complication of coronavirus infection disease-19 (COVID-19). Understanding how COVID-19 contributes to neurological disease is needed for appropriate treatment of infected patients, as well as in initiating relevant follow-up care after recovery. Investigation of autopsied brain tissue has been key to advancing our understanding...

Spotlight on Covid-19 Research Publications

Carvelli, J., Demaria, O., Vély, F., et al. Identification of immune checkpoints in COVID-19. Please note that this article has not completed peer review. doi: 10.21203/rs.3.rs-27340/v1 Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new pandemic acute respiratory disease caused by infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)11-3. We provide here a longitudinal analysis of immune responses, including immune cell phenotyping and assessments of the soluble factors present in the blood and broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of patients at various stages of COVID-19 severity: paucisymptomatic,...

Lung Expression of Human ACE2 Sensitizes the Mouse to SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Spotlight on Covid-19 Research Publications

Han, K., Blair, R.V., Iwanaga ,N., et al. Lung Expression of Human ACE2 Sensitizes the Mouse to SARS-CoV-2 Infection. Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol. 2020 Sep 29. Preclinical mouse models that recapitulate some characteristics of COVID-19 will facilitate focused study of pathogenesis and virus-host responses. Human angiotensin converting enzyme (hACE2) serves as an entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2 to infect people via binding to spike proteins. Herein we report development and characterization of a rapidly deployable COVID-19 mouse model. C57BL/6J (B6)...

Tostanoski, L.H., Wegmann, F., Martinot, A.J. et al. Ad26 vaccine protects against SARS-CoV-2 severe clinical disease in hamsters. Nat Med (2020). Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in humans is often a clinically mild illness, but some individuals develop severe pneumonia, respiratory failure and death1,2,3,4. Studies of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in hamsters5,6,7 and nonhuman primates8,9,10 have generally reported mild clinical disease, and preclinical SARS-CoV-2 vaccine studies have demonstrated reduction of viral replication in the upper and lower respiratory tracts in...

Spotlight on Covid-19 Research Publications

Fahlberg, M.D., Blair, R.V., Doyle-Meyers, L.A. et al. Cellular events of acute, resolving or progressive COVID-19 in SARS-CoV-2 infected non-human primates.  This article is a preprint and has not been certified by peer review. doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.21.213777.  We investigated the immune events following SARS-COV-2 infection, from the acute inflammatory state up to four weeks post infection, in non-human primates (NHP) with heterogeneous pulmonary pathology. The acute phase was characterized by a rapid migration of CD16+ monocytes from the blood and concomitant increase...

Nienhold, R., Ciani, Y., Koelzer, V.H. et al. Two distinct immunopathological profiles in autopsy lungs of COVID-19. Nat Commun 11, 5086 (2020). Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which has grown to a worldwide pandemic with substantial mortality. Immune mediated damage has been proposed as a pathogenic factor, but immune responses in lungs of COVID-19 patients remain poorly characterized. Here we show transcriptomic, histologic and cellular profiles of post mortem...
