Dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 variants and mutations in Central Sweden between 2023 and 2024 and their potential implications on monoclonal antibodies pemivibart and sipavibart as PrEP in the region
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are an important option against SARS-CoV-2, especially as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for patients with immune system impairment. PrEP mAbs like sipavibart and pemi...

In 2015 we discovered 'Loki', the first member of the Asgard archaea, the closest relatives of eukaryotes.
Did you know that in stead of Lokiarchaea, we considered the name Eoarchaea. 'Eo' after Eos, the greek goddess of dawn, and in reference to the eocyte hypothesis for the origin of eukaryotes.
