Re-Emergence of Circulation of Seasonal Influenza during COVID-19 Pandemic in Russia and Receptor Specificity of New and Dominant Clade 3C.2a1b.2a.2 A(H3N2) Viruses in 2021-2022.

The circulation of seasonal influenza in 2020-2021 around the world was drastically reduced after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of mitigation strategies. The influenza virus circulation reemerged in 2021-2022 with the global spread of the new genetic clade 3C.2a1b.

Double Electron-Electron Resonance of Spin-Labeled Cholestane in Model Membranes: Evidence for Substructures inside the Lipid Rafts.

Plasma membranes are assumed to be highly compartmentalized, which is believed to be important for the membrane protein functionality. The liquid ordered-disordered phase segregation in the membranes results in nanoscale liquid-ordered assemblies-lipid rafts. Double electron-electron resonance spectroscopy (DEER, also known as PELDOR) is sensitive to spin-spin dipolar interactions between spin labels at the nanoscale range of distances.
