The mechanisms of olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19 are still unclear. In this review, we
examine potential mechanisms that may explain why the sense of smell is lost or altered …

The omicron variant is thought to cause less olfactory dysfunction than previous variants of
SARS-CoV-2, but the reported prevalence differs greatly between populations and studies …

Understanding protective immunity to COVID-19 facilitates preparedness for future
pandemics and combats new SARS-CoV-2 variants emerging in the human population …

There are at least 21 families of enveloped viruses that infect mammals, and many contain
members of high concern for global human health. All enveloped viruses have a dedicated …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged at the end of
2019 and caused the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Basic and clinical …

Abstract Machine learning (ML) applications have become ubiquitous in all fields of
research including protein science and engineering. Apart from protein structure and …

Interferon‐induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) is an antiviral protein that alters cell
membranes to block fusion of viruses. Conflicting reports identified opposing effects of …

Interferons (IFNs) are important cytokines that regulate immune responses through the
activation of hundreds of genes, including interferon-induced transmembrane proteins …

The molecular mechanisms controlling the adaptation of viruses to host cells are generally
poorly documented. An essential issue to resolve is whether host membranes, and …

Innate immune mechanisms initiate immune responses via pattern-recognition receptors
(PRRs). Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), a member of the PRRs, senses diverse …
