SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant replication in human bronchus and lung ex vivo

Kenrie P. Y. Hui et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 variants pose a threat to global public health. The Omicron variant replicates faster in bronchi but less efficiently in the lung parenchyma compared to other variants. All variants of concern have similar cellular tropism.

Postacute COVID-19 is Characterized by Gut Viral Antigen Persistence in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Andreas Zollner et al.

Summary: The study investigates whether the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 antigen in infected tissues is responsible for postacute COVID-19 syndrome. The results suggest that viral antigen persistence may be the underlying cause of postacute COVID-19 and this concept should be validated in controlled clinical trials.

Gastrointestinal symptoms and fecal shedding of SARS-CoV-2 RNA suggest prolonged gastrointestinal infection

Aravind Natarajan et al.

Summary: This study found that SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA can persist in feces for up to 7 months in individuals with mild to moderate COVID-19. Furthermore, patients with gastrointestinal symptoms are more likely to shed viral RNA in their feces.

Data-driven multi-scale mathematical modeling of SARS-CoV-2 infection reveals heterogeneity among COVID-19 patients

Shun Wang et al.

Summary: The study developed a multi-scale computational model to quantitatively understand the heterogeneous progression of COVID-19 patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, revealing the roles of host antiviral state, IFN production rate, and T cell exhaustion in regulating the disease progression. Different therapeutic strategies were evaluated, with single antiviral therapy found sufficient for moderate patients and combination therapies needed for severe patients. The study provides insights into the potential guidance for personalized therapy in COVID-19 patients.

A quantitative model used to compare within-host SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV dynamics provides insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of SARS-CoV-2

Kwang Su Kim et al.

Summary: The study compared the viral dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 with MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV, finding that SARS-CoV-2 had a higher within-host reproduction number and a shorter time to viral load peak. Therapies targeting de novo infection or virus production were found to be effective if initiated before the viral load peak, while therapies promoting cytotoxicity of infected cells were less sensitive to treatment timing. Combining both types of therapies showed synergistic effects in reducing viral load.

The total number and mass of SARS-CoV-2 virions

Ron Sender et al.

Summary: Each infected person carries 10^9 to 10^11 SARS-CoV-2 virions during peak infection, with a total mass in the range of 1-100 micrograms. The study shows that antibodies in infected hosts significantly outnumber spike proteins, and the genetic diversity of virions covers all possible single nucleotide substitutions.

The Infectious Bronchitis Coronavirus Pneumonia Model Presenting a Novel Insight for the SARS-CoV-2 Dissemination Route

Ekaterina Nefedova et al.

Summary: The study found that virucidal drugs have inhibitory effects on IBV in chickens, and also suggested that IBV may primarily accumulate in the intestine, leading to lung damage through hematogenous redistribution. This research provides important clues for understanding the mechanism of coronavirus diseases.
