SARS-CoV-2 Variants Increase Kinetic Stability of Open Spike Conformations as an Evolutionary Strategy

TL;DR: SARS-CoV-2 surface S glycoprotein is responsible for binding to the cellular receptor hACE2 as discussed by the authors , which triggers structural rearrangements of S from closed to open conformations prerequisite for virus entry.

The ins and outs of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs)

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors classified SARS-CoV-2 variants as variants of concern (VOC) because they exhibit greater transmissibility, cause more severe disease, are better able to escape immunity, or cause higher mortality than the original Wuhan strain.

SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell immunity in cases of COVID-19 and SARS, and uninfected controls.

TL;DR: Infection with betacoronaviruses induces multi-specific and long-lasting T cell immunity against the structural N protein, and SARS-CoV-2-reactive T cells were found in individuals who had recovered from SARS or COVID-19 and in unexposed donors, although with different patterns of immunoreactivity.
