The SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein has a broad tropism for mammalian ACE2 proteins. by Carina Conceicao, Nazia Thakur, Stacey Human, James T Kelly, Leanne Logan, Dagmara Bialy, Sushant Bhat, Phoebe Stevenson-Leggett, Adrian K Zagrajek, Philippa Hollinghurst, Michal Varga, Christina Tsirigoti, Matthew Tully, Chris Chiu, Katy Moffat, Adrian Paul Silesian, John A Hammond, Helena J Maier, Erica Bickerton, Holly Shelton, Isabelle Dietrich, Stephen C Graham, Dalan Bailey

“…Using a combination of surrogate entry assays and live virus, we demonstrate that, in addition to human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the Spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 has a broad host tropism for mammalian ACE2 receptors, despite divergence in the amino acids at the Spike receptor binding site on these proteins. Of the 22 different hosts we investigated, ACE2 proteins from dog, cat, and cattle were the most permissive to SARS-CoV-2, while bat and bird ACE2 proteins were the least efficiently used receptors. …”

Smart Learning Ecosystems beyond 2030 by Gabriella Dodero, Carlo Giovannella, Francesca Pozzi

“…Finally, the paper “Higher visual art education objectives and teaching patterns to reach them” [14], by Antonina Korepanova and Kai Pata, surveys current trends in literature about teaching visual arts in e-learning environments, by analyzing 48 research papers and interviewing 24 educators from different countries. Different teaching objectives, and different teaching patterns to achieve them, were identified; then, a visual tool was developed to categorize them as a possible help for teachers to plan their e-learning courses in accordance with their specific course objectives.x Overall, these contributions show how much the development of SLEs depends on contributions of various natures that must find common ground and ways of integration and, therefore, how useful the vision, the cultural framework and the related guidelines offered by the Timisoara and Troyes declarations are. …”
