SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant: Antibody evasion and cryo-EM structure of spike protein-ACE2 complex

Dhiraj Mannar et al.

Summary: The newly reported Omicron variant shows new salt bridges and hydrogen bonds formed by mutated residues in the receptor binding domain, compensating for reduced ACE2 binding affinity. It also exhibits increased antibody evasion, which likely contributes to its rapid spread.

The relationship of serum testosterone levels with the clinical course and prognosis of COVID-19 disease in male patients: A prospective study

Ahmet Emre Cinislioglu et al.

Summary: The study found that lower serum total testosterone levels in male COVID-19 patients were associated with poor prognosis and fatal outcomes, indicating a potential role for testosterone in the pathogenesis of the disease. This could help clinicians determine the clinical course of COVID-19.

Oscar Solis et al.

Summary: This study discovered an interaction between the spike (S) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and human estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha), and identified a highly conserved and functional nuclear receptor coregulator (NRC) LXD-like motif on the S2 sub-unit.

Targeting androgen regulation of TMPRSS2 and ACE2 as a therapeutic strategy to combat COVID-19

Qu Deng et al.

Summary: The study suggests a potential role of androgen in SARS-CoV-2 infection by regulating ACE2 and TMPRSS2 transcription. Camostat, a TMPRSS2 inhibitor, blocks the cleavage of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, providing evidence of TMPRSS2's direct role in viral fusion to host cells. Androgen-deprivation, anti-androgens, or camostat attenuate SARS-CoV-2 cellular entry, highlighting the importance of TMPRSS2 inhibitors and androgen-deprivation therapy in preventing COVID-19 progression.

Sex Differences in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Hospitalization and Mortality

Joanne Michelle D. Gomez et al.

Summary: In a large Illinois-based cohort study, male patients with COVID-19 were more likely to experience severe outcomes compared to females, including higher rates of hospitalization, ICU transfer, vasopressor support, endotracheal intubation, and death. After adjusting for age and comorbidities, male sex was still significantly associated with COVID-19 related outcomes.
