1. 1. Microbiology and Infectious Disease

   Antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and their potential for therapeutic passive immunization

   PJ Klasse, John P Moore

   Antibodies hold promise for breakthrough treatment of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
2. 1. Epidemiology and Global Health

   Evidence for transmission of COVID-19 prior to symptom onset

   Lauren C Tindale et al.
3. 1. Epidemiology and Global Health
   2. Human Biology and Medicine

   Effective control of SARS-CoV-2 transmission between healthcare workers during a period of diminished community prevalence of COVID-19

   Nick K Jones et al.

   Diminished incidence of COVID-19 amongst healthcare workers in a comprehensive screening programme demonstrates how effective infection control measures and staff testing can prevent hospitals becoming independent 'hubs' of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.
4. 1. Epidemiology and Global Health
   2. Immunology and Inflammation

   Science Forum: A Global lmmunological Observatory to meet a time of pandemics

   Michael J Mina et al.

   The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly demonstrated the need for a global system to monitor the dynamics of susceptibility and immunity, as well as infection, during epidemics and pandemics.
5. 1. Human Biology and Medicine

   Knowledge synthesis of 100 million biomedical documents augments the deep expression profiling of coronavirus receptors

   AJ Venkatakrishnan et al.
6. 1. Computational and Systems Biology
   2. Human Biology and Medicine

   SARS-CoV-2 strategically mimics proteolytic activation of human ENaC

   Praveen Anand et al.
7. 1. Epidemiology and Global Health
   2. Human Biology and Medicine

   Screening of healthcare workers for SARS-CoV-2 highlights the role of asymptomatic carriage in COVID-19 transmission

   Lucy Rivett et al.

   3% of >1,000 asymptomatic healthcare workers in their workplace tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that comprehensive screening programmes are vital to prevent acquisition of COVID-19 in hospitals.
8. 1. Human Biology and Medicine
   2. Immunology and Inflammation

   Kallikrein-kinin blockade in patients with COVID-19 to prevent acute respiratory distress syndrome

   Frank L van de Veerdonk et al.

   The kinin-kallikrein system is a crucial target for the treatment of COVID-19.
9. 1. Human Biology and Medicine

   Potential harmful effects of discontinuing ACE-inhibitors and ARBs in COVID-19 patients

   Gian Paolo Rossi et al.

   Current evidence does not suggest adverse effects of ACE inhibitors or ARBs in COVID-19 patients and, to the contrary, discontinuing these drugs in these patients may potentially be harmful.
10. 1. Epidemiology and Global Health

    Estimated effectiveness of symptom and risk screening to prevent the spread of COVID-19

    Katelyn Gostic et al.

    Even in the best-case scenario, screening for COVID-19 misses well over half of infected travellers.
