Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 presents a considerable challenge for the scientific community and public health. However, the development of vaccines, monoclonal antibodies and antivirals has been spectacular. This accumulation of knowledge has led to a better understanding of COVID-19 and the progression of the disease in patients. Nevertheless, some factors for poor prognosis are not well-understood, for example those faced by the diabetic population. Moreover, mechanisms of escape selection, notably through the emergence of variants, are not well-characterized either. We are pleased to invite you to submit research articles regarding vaccine studies or infection models of SARS-CoV-2. Both in vitro and in vivo models are a complementary approach to describe and explore SARS-CoV-2, and these fundamental experiments could help to elucidate some of these questions.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome, as the current pandemic requires continuous innovation.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Julien Andréani
Guest Editor
