Sudetenland once again? Even as Trump urges concessions on territory.
"Future historians will undoubtedly highlight another, more recent Munich moment, when Zelenskiy, suited, fresh faced and clean shaven, found himself at a security conference there in February 2022, just before Russia’s full-scale invasion. He asked this question: “Has our world completely forgotten the mistakes of the 20th century, of where appeasement policy usually leads?”

🔗 Acetylsalicylic acid disrupts SARS-CoV-2 spike protein glycosylation and selectively impairs binding to ACE2 (Provisionally accepted)
Here, we demonstrate that pre-incubation of the SARS-CoV-2 spike subunit 1 (S1) with ASA dose-dependently impaired ACE2 binding on Vero cells. The functional relevance of this finding was confirmed in transgenic mice with human ACE2, in which intratracheal administration of ASA-treated S1 markedly reduced lung injury, fibrosis, and inflammation compared to untreated S1. Glycoproteomic profiling revealed that ASA altered the glycosylation landscape of S1, particularly N-glycosylation at N61 and O-glycosylation at S325. Site-directed mutagenesis of these two residues confirmed the critical role of their glycosylation in S1-ACE2 binding in vitro. Consistently, the glycosylation-insensitive S1 had limited effect in inducing lung injury, fibrosis, and inflammation in transgenic mice compared to WT S1, phenocopying the protective effects of ASA.
