Will the 2024 US men’s gymnastics team save the sport?

Aug 3, 2024 | vox.com | Denise Guerra

Nothing prepares a casual Olympics fan for falling in love with a sport they know nothing about. During the gymnastics trials in Milwaukee this year, I waited to watch Simone Biles, Suni Lee, and the rest of the ladies dazzle with their awesome skills. Could we get the men’s competition over with already? Yet there I was, transfixed as the men’s team went through their routines.

Broadening sarbecovirus neutralization with bispecific antibodies combining distinct conserved targets on the receptor binding domain

May 9, 2024 | biorxiv.org | Denise Guerra |Laura Radić |Mitch Brinkkemper |Meliawati Poniman

AbstractMonoclonal neutralizing antibodies (mAbs) are considered an important prophylactic against SARS-CoV-2 infection in at-risk populations and a strategy to counteract future sarbecovirus-induced disease. However, most mAbs isolated so far neutralize only a few sarbecovirus strains. Therefore, there is a growing interest in bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) which can simultaneously target different spike epitopes and thereby increase neutralizing breadth and prevent viral escape.
