(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2022 , Other)
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, and diabetes, the most common metabolic syndrome, causes a 2–5 times higher risk for heart disease (1). Specifically, cardiovascular complications in people ...
Cytoprotective, antioxidant, and anti-migratory activity of Pistacia lentiscus L. supercritical carbon dioxide extract on primary human endothelial cells
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2022 , Article)
Green chemistry is a useful tool for producing valuable chemicals from biomass. However, extracted compounds need to be tested for safety and efficacy before their use in humans. Here we investigate the chemical composition ...

Validation of a Novel Fluorescent Lateral Flow Assay for Rapid Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment of Total Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S-RBD Binding Antibody Units (BAU) from Plasma or Fingerstick Whole-Blood of COVID-19 Vaccinees
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Background: Limited commercial LFA assays are available to provide a reliable quantitative measurement of the total binding antibody units (BAU/mL) against the receptor-binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S-RBD). ...
Do preexisting antibodies against seasonal coronaviruses have a protective role against SARS-CoV-2 infections and impact on COVID-19 severity?
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Other)
Because of the emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), many questions remain unresolved regarding the abundance of cross-reactivity ...
Comparative analysis of within-host diversity among vaccinated COVID-19 patients infected with different SARS-CoV-2 variants
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a rapidly evolving RNA virus that mutates within hosts and exists as viral quasispecies. Here, we evaluated the within-host diversity among vaccinated and ...
Assessing the performance of a serological point-of-care test in measuring detectable antibodies against SARS-CoV-2
(
Public Library of Science
, 2022 , Article)
This study investigated the performance of a rapid point-of-care antibody test, the BioMedomics COVID-19 IgM/IgG Rapid Test, in comparison with a high-quality, validated, laboratory-based platform, the Roche Elecsys ...
Protective Effect of Previous SARS-CoV-2 Infection against Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 Subvariants.
(
Massachusetts Medical Society
, 2022 , Article)
The BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) B.1.1.529 (omicron) variant have shown the capacity of escaping from neutralizing antibodies.1 These subvariants had an ...
Transcriptome Profile Identifies Actin as an Essential Regulator of Cardiac Myosin Binding Protein C3 Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in a Zebrafish Model
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Variants in cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyBP-C) are the leading cause of inherited hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), demonstrating the key role that cMyBP-C plays in the heart’s contractile machinery. To investigate ...
