Airway administration of OM-85, a bacterial lysate, blocks experimental asthma by targeting dendritic cells and the epithelium/IL-33/ILC2 axis

Vadim Pivniouk et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that direct administration of OM-85 to the airway compartment can protect against experimental allergic asthma by engaging multiple immune pathways. The efficacy of intranasal OM-85 administration may be due to its direct access to the airway mucosal networks controlling the initiation and development of allergic asthma.

Efficacy and safety of OM-85 in paediatric recurrent respiratory tract infections which could have a possible protective effect on COVID-19 pandemic: A meta-analysis

Changqing Cao et al.

Summary: OM-85 consumption is significantly associated with a lower frequency, total duration, incidence, number of antibiotic courses, and antibiotic use in respiratory tract infections. However, it is not significantly related to adverse events or wheezing attacks frequency. This indicates that OM-85 could be a valuable tool to improve immunity against recurrent respiratory tract infections, especially in critical situations like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nikolaos C. Kyriakidis et al.

Summary: The new SARS-CoV-2 virus is rapidly spreading worldwide, causing the COVID-19 pandemic with more than 1.866 million deaths. Over 64 vaccine candidates are being developed globally, aiming to induce antibodies to prevent viral entry. Thirteen vaccine candidates are currently in Phase 3 clinical trials, showing promising progress towards approval for large-scale immunizations.

Membrane Nanoparticles Derived from ACE2-Rich Cells Block SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Cheng Wang et al.

Summary: Membrane nanoparticles derived from ACE2-rich cells were found to effectively block SARS-CoV-2 infection by trapping viral ligands and reducing viral recruitment to host cells. These ACE2-NPs also inhibited viral entry into cells and blocked infection, providing a promising avenue for COVID-19 treatment.

SARS-CoV-2 exacerbates proinflammatory responses in myeloid cells through C-type lectin receptors and Tweety family member 2

Qiao Lu et al.

Summary: Multiple C-type lectins and TTYH2 were identified as glycan-dependent binding partners of SARS-CoV-2 spike, predominantly expressed on myeloid cells in the lungs of COVID-19 patients. Engagement of these receptors with the virus induced robust proinflammatory responses, correlating with disease severity. Targeting SARS-CoV-2-myeloid receptor interactions may provide potential therapeutic strategies for COVID-19.

An infectivity-enhancing site on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein targeted by antibodies

Yafei Liu et al.

Summary: The research found that antibodies against different domains of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein have different effects, with some antibodies inducing an open conformation of the RBD and enhancing the virus infectivity. Structural and mutational analysis revealed the mechanisms of these antibodies, and infectivity-enhancing antibodies were detected at higher levels in severe patients.

Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among rural healthcare workers

Jordan Z. Neises et al.

Summary: This longitudinal cohort study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in healthcare workers in rural areas of South Dakota and Minnesota. The study found varying seroprevalence rates over different time periods and identified individuals with no history of COVID-19 diagnosis. A high percentage (85%) of seronegative individuals was observed in the study population by December 2020.

Nir Drayman et al.

Summary: This study identified a drug called masitinib that can inhibit the replication of both SARS-CoV-2 and OC43 virus, and acts by competitively inhibiting 3CLpro. The drug showed strong antiviral effects in in vivo experiments on mice infected with SARS-CoV-2, and was effective against multiple variants in vitro.
