The effect of molnupiravir and nirmatrelvir on SARS-CoV-2 genome diversity in severe models of COVID-19.

R. Penrice-Randal, E. G. Bentley, P. Sharma, A. Kirby, I. Donovan-Banfield, A. Kipar, D. F. Mega, C. Bramwell, J. Sharp, A. Owen, J. A. Hiscox, J. P. Stewart

This study examines how molnupiravir and nirmatrelvir affect SARS-CoV-2 genome diversity in immunocompromised mice, finding reduced viral load and specific mutations but no major consensus sequence changes.

Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 lacking initiating and internal methionine codons within ORF10 is attenuated in vivo

S. Gu, E. G. Bentley, R. I. Milligan, A. M. Almuqrin, P. Sharma, A. Kirby, D. F. Mega, A. Kipar, M. Erdmann, J. Bazire, K. J. Heesom, P. A. Lewis, I. Donovan-Banfield, C. Reston, I. Webb, , D. A. Matthews

This study shows that a recombinant SARS-CoV-2 virus lacking ORF10 start and internal methionine codons is attenuated in hamsters, with reduced lower respiratory tract viral titre and increased reversion to wild-type.

Measuring C. elegans Ageing Through Non-Invasive Monitoring of Movement across Large Populations

G. Zavagno, A. Raimundo, A. Kirby, C. Saunter, D. Weinkove

This paper introduces a non-invasive method to measure C. elegans ageing by monitoring movement, showing it can detect ageing interventions more efficiently than traditional lifespan assays.

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron-B.1.1.529 Variant leads to less severe disease than Pango B and Delta variants strains in a mouse model of severe COVID-19

E. G. Bentley, A. Kirby, P. Sharma, A. Kipar, D. F. Mega, C. Bramwell, R. Penrice-Randal, T. Prince, J. C. Brown, J. Zhou, G. R. Screaton, W. S. Barclay, A. Owen, J. A. Hiscox, J. P. Stewart

This study compares the severity of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron-B.1.1.529, Pango B, and Delta variants in a mouse model, finding Omicron causes less severe disease with lower viral load and inflammation.

Neuroinvasion and neurotropism by SARS-CoV-2 variants in the K18-hACE2 mouse

F. Seehusen, J. J. Clark, P. Sharma, E. Bentley, A. Kirby, K. Subramaniam, S. Wunderlin Giuliani, G. Hughes, E. I. Patterson, B. D. Michael, A. Owen, J. A. Hiscox, J. P. Stewart, A. Kipar

This study investigates SARS-CoV-2 variant neuroinvasion in K18-hACE2 mice, finding CNS spread in all variants except Omicron, with microglial activation and immune cell apoptosis observed.
