SARS-CoV-2 variants B.1.351 and P.1 escape from neutralizing antibodies.

TLDR
In this article, the authors show that SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 variants B.1.7 (UK), B.351 (South Africa), and P.1 (Brazil) harbor mutations in the viral spike (S) protein that may alter virus-host cell interactions and confer resistance to inhibitors and antibodies.

Comparison of the immunogenicity of nasal‐spray rVSV vector, adenovirus vector, and inactivated COVID‐19‐based vaccines in rodent models

TL;DR: In this paper , the recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV)-based COVID-19 vaccine rVSV•SARS•CoV•2, with poor immunogenicity via the intramuscular route (i.m. or i.n.), is more suitable for intranasal administration in mice and nonhuman primates.

Host Cell Membrane Capture by the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Fusion Intermediate

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors constructed a full-length model of the SARS-CoV-2 FI by extrapolating from known pre-and post-fusion structures and showed that the FI was remarkably flexible and executed giant bending and extensional fluctuations due to three hinges in the Cterminal base.
