PERK inhibition with GSK2606414 in zebrafish evokes developmental defects consistent with Wolcott-Rallison syndrome phenotypes

L. M. Almeida, L. P. Lima, N. A. S. Oliveira, R. F. O. Silva, B. Sousa, J. Bessa, B. R. Pinho, J. M. A. Oliveira

This study uses zebrafish to model Wolcott-Rallison syndrome by inhibiting PERK with GSK2606414, revealing developmental defects consistent with the syndrome.

Theoretical causes of the Brazilian P.1 and P.2 lineages of the SARS-CoV-2 virus through molecular dynamics

M. D. Lima de Oliveira, K. M. Teixeira de Oliveira, J. Nunes da Silva, C. Santos, J. Bessa, R. de Freitas

This paper uses molecular dynamics simulations to analyze structural changes in the ACE2-RBD complex and neutralizing antibody interactions in the P.1 and Delta variants of SARS-CoV-2, finding increased stability in P.1 and reduced antibody recognition.
