Summary: Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has emerged as the most mutated and concerning variant. It has shown high transmissibility and immune evasion abilities, rapidly replacing the Delta variant in several regions. However, recent studies suggest that Omicron has reduced pathogenicity and significant resistance to vaccines and antibody therapies. This review summarizes the molecular and clinical characteristics of Omicron, discusses potential therapeutic approaches, and highlights strategies for ending the pandemic.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 virus has infected nearly 300 million people worldwide, causing over 6 million deaths by March 2022. The emergence of new variants, such as Omicron, has raised concerns due to their high infectivity and transmissibility. It is crucial to closely monitor and study the impact of Omicron on antibody escape, spread, and infectious ability.

Summary: The newly emerged SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariant BA.2.75 exhibits moderate resistance to neutralization by sera from vaccinated/boosted individuals compared to the currently circulating BA.2, but is more sensitive than BA.4/5. BA.2.75 shows heightened resistance to class 1 and class 3 monoclonal antibodies targeting the spike-receptor-binding domain, while gaining sensitivity to class 2 antibodies. The resistance is mainly conferred by two mutations. BA.2.75 also shows slight resistance to a therapeutic antibody with potent activity against all Omicron subvariants. Additionally, BA.2.75 exhibits higher binding affinity to the host receptor ACE2 compared to other Omicron subvariants.

Summary: The structures of the Omicron spike trimer and its interactions with ACE2 and an anti-Omicron antibody are reported. Most mutations in Omicron are located on the spike protein surface, altering binding to many existing antibodies. Compensating mutations in the ACE2-binding site enhance binding to ACE2. The therapeutic antibody JMB2002 maintains neutralizing activity against Omicron and inhibits ACE2 binding.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a heterologous three-dose vaccination schedule against Omicron BA.1 variant infection and found that mRNA-based vaccines performed the best in enhancing both humoral and cellular immune responses. Heterologous schedules showed better immunological outcomes for AZD1222-based primary series compared to homologous three-dose AZD1222 regimen. All tested schedules induced immune cell populations and protected mice from intranasal challenge with Omicron BA.1.

Summary: This review provides an overview of the molecular profile, epidemiology, transmissibility, impact on vaccines, and pharmacological agents related to the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2. Omicron has multiple mutations, including changes in the spike protein, which contribute to its high transmissibility and potential immune escape. Current vaccination provides limited protection against Omicron, while booster doses offer significant protection against mild illness. New oral antiviral agents are emerging as important alternatives for treatment. Further research is needed to determine the infectiousness of Omicron and the effectiveness of available vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and antiviral drugs.

Summary: Developing variant vaccines or multivalent vaccines is a feasible way to address the increased risk posed by SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) to global public health. This study established an LC-MS method to accurately quantify the S proteins in monovalent or multivalent vaccines, enabling better distinction and quantification of different strains. The method can be used for quality control of monovalent and multivalent SARS-CoV-2 variant vaccines.

Summary: The study focuses on investigating the spike glycoprotein of the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 and designing potential multi-epitope vaccine constructs. The vaccine has the potential to elicit immune responses against previous and future variants, including the Omicron variant. By utilizing a Java-based tool, conserved epitopes with high immunogenicity scores were identified, ensuring their non-toxic and non-allergenic properties. The vaccine was constructed by integrating the identified conserved epitopes with linkers and adjuvants, and its efficacy and performance were evaluated through computational tests.

Summary: We investigated the impact of the fourth dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 in the humoral immune response to SARS-CoV-2 during a 9-month follow-up period in Brazil, where Omicron was the predominant variant. The study found that the additional antibody response to the viral spike protein after the fourth dose was smaller than after the third dose, while the levels of IgG for the nucleocapsid protein increased. There was no significant decline in IgG levels after the fourth dose, indicating a sustained humoral response to both the spike and nucleocapsid proteins.

Summary: Omicron strains of SARS-CoV-2 exhibit high transmissibility and immune evasion against antibodies generated from natural infection and vaccination. This study compares the antibody response to vaccination and natural infection, evaluates neutralization after vaccine doses, and analyzes the diversity of these responses. The BA.4 and BA.5 variants of SARS-CoV-2 are only neutralized by approximately 15% of antibodies, with different antibody targeting preferences observed between vaccinated individuals and those who have been infected. Understanding the distinct immune responses elicited by mRNA vaccination and hybrid immunity can inform the development of future therapeutics and vaccines against COVID-19.

Summary: The Omicron variant's S1 NTD structures show significant differences from the original strain, which could result in reduced recognition by antibodies leading to potential immune escape and decreased effectiveness of existing vaccines. This study provides basic data on Omicron protein structures, laying the groundwork for future research on the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant.

Summary: Th17 cells have an intrinsic feedback mechanism to control their pathogenicity, involving the production of IL-24 and secretion of IL-10. IL-24 interacts with Grim19 on the inner mitochondrial membrane to promote STAT3 accumulation in the mitochondrial compartment, which serves as a rheostat to regulate nuclear STAT3 activity. This mechanism plays an important role in restricting immunopathology associated with Th17 cells.

Summary: This case report describes a case of granulomatous colitis (GC) associated with adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) that spread to various organs in a 10-year-old, male Sphynx cat. The cat initially experienced diarrhea and sudden blindness before rapidly progressing to ataxia, seizures, and death. Inflammation consistent with granulomatous inflammation was found in all affected organs, and the presence of AIEC within enterocytes and infiltrating macrophages was confirmed.

Summary: The authors describe a small antibody-like protein, TriSb92, that can prevent infection by diverse SARS-CoV-2 variants. In cell culture and mice, intranasal treatment with TriSb92 before or shortly after exposure to the virus showed protective effects. This highly manufacturable and stable trimeric antibody-mimetic has the potential to be used as a nasal spray for protecting susceptible individuals from SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Ten years later, her C-peptide levels increased along with other markers associated with type 1 diabetes, suggesting the possibility of pancreatic beta cell regeneration or increased function. This finding challenges the commonly accepted belief that individuals with type 1 diabetes lose all function of pancreatic beta cells.

Summary: This review introduces the techniques and mechanisms of bacteria immobilization on biochar, as well as its applications in bioremediation and agriculture. The immobilization characteristics of biochar depend on pyrolysis methods, raw materials, and properties of biochar. Scanning electron microscope and colony forming unit analysis are commonly used to verify the immobilization efficiency. Applying biochar-immobilized bacteria can improve soil quality, plant growth, and crop yield.
