    Role of N343 glycosylation on the SARS-CoV-2 S RBD structure and co-receptor binding across variants of concern

    Callum M Ives, Linh Nguyen ... Elisa Fadda
    Viral evolution can lead to mutations that render specific glycosylation sites dispensable for folding and for supporting the protein's function, allowing changes in the shield, and in the immunogenic profile.

    Altered transcriptomic immune responses of maintenance hemodialysis patients to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine

    Yi-Shin Chang, Kai Huang ... David L Perkins
    Differing time courses of immune responses to the BTN162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccination in maintenance hemodialysis subjects are comparable to healthy controls and identify transcriptomic and clinical predictors of anti-spike IgG titers in hemodialysis subjects.
