The role of GLP-1 receptor agonists during COVID-19 pandemia: a hypothetical molecular mechanism
(2021)Introduction: A number of anti-diabetic treatments have been favored during the continuing spread of the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) are a group of antidiabetic drugs, ... -
Saliva as an Alternative Specimen for Molecular COVID-19 Testing in Community Settings and Population-Based Screening
(2020)Purpose: With the easing of restriction measures, repeated community-based sampling for tracking new COVID-19 infections is anticipated for the next 6 to 12 months. A non-invasive, self-collected specimen like saliva ... -
Saliva for molecular detection of SARS-CoV-2 in school-age children
(2021)Objectives: The high diagnostic accuracy indices for saliva severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) reported in adults has not been demonstrated in children, and ... -
SARS-COV-2 (Covid-19) and male fertility: Where are we?
(2020)Abstract: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS COV-2), a single-stranded RNA virus, was found to be the causal agent of the disease called coronavirus disease. During December 2019, China informed the ... -
SARS-CoV-2 and the testis: similarity with other viruses and routes of infection
(2020)Abstract: Since the start of the latest coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, the number of infected individuals and cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been increasing exponentially worldwide. Of interest is existing ... -
SARS-CoV-2 may hijack GPCR signaling pathways to dysregulate lung ion and fluid transport
(2021)Abstract: The tropism of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a virus responsible for the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, toward the host cells is determined, at least in ... -
SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Effects on Semen Parameters: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2022-12)Objective: Vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) epitomizes the best preventative SARS-CoV-2 infection strategy to counteract the severe consequences of infection. However, ... -
SARS-CoV-2 Whole Genome Amplification and Sequencing for Effective Population-Based Surveillance and Control of Viral Transmission
(2020)BACKGROUND: With the gradual reopening of economies and resumption of social life, robust surveillance mechanisms should be implemented to control the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike RT-qPCR, SARSCoV- 2 whole genome ... -
SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19: Viral Genomics, Epidemiology, Vaccines, and Therapeutic Interventions
(2020)Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic is due to infection caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus that impacts the lower respiratory tract. The spectrum of symptoms ranges from asymptomatic infections to mild respiratory symptoms ... -
SARS-CoV-2–related MIS-C: A key to the viral and genetic causes of Kawasaki disease?
(2021)Abstract: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) emerged in April 2020 in communities with high COVID-19 rates. This new condition is heterogenous but resembles Kawasaki disease (KD), a well-known but poorly ... -
Single-cell transcriptome identifies FCGR3B upregulated subtype of alveolar macrophages in patients with critical COVID-19
(2021)Summary: Understanding host cell heterogeneity is critical for unraveling disease mechanism. Utilizing large-scale single-cell transcriptomics, we analyzed multiple tissue specimens from patients with life-threatening ... -
Twelve Months Down the Line: do we know Anything more about the Presence of the SARS-CoV-2 in Human Semen?
(2021)Letter to Editor: Based on current evidence, although the virus could be causing adverse effects in the male reproductive tract, its presence in Semen continues to be debated because current evidence suggests that the ...
