TL;DR: Examination of positive and negative responses toward older adults in the United States during the pandemic and the consequences for older adults and society finds positive responses can reinforce the value of older adults, improve older adults' mental and physical health, reduce ageism, and improve intergenerational relations, whereas negative responses can have the opposite effects.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the design and testing of molecular beacons, which allow sequence-specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 genomes with improved discrimination in simple reaction mixtures.

TL;DR: The design and testing of molecular beacons are described, which allow sequence-specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 genomes with improved discrimination in simple reaction mixtures and how beacons with different fluorescent labels can allow convenient multiplex detection of several amplicons in "single pot" reactions.

TL;DR: Light is shed on one factor -- benevolent and hostile ageism -- that contributes to a greater understanding of prioritization views toward a vulnerable segment of the population as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on healthcare and employment resources.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether pre-pandemic ageism among undergraduates predicts prosocial behavioral intentions toward older adults both specific to COVID-19 and in general.
