Abstract The pathogenic and cross-species transmission potential of SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses (CoVs) remain poorly characterized. Here we recovered a wild-type pangolin (Pg) CoV GD strain including derivatives encoding reporter genes using reverse genetics. In primary human cells, PgCoV replicated efficiently but with reduced fitness showed less efficient via airborne route compared SARS-CoV-2 in hamsters. was potently inhibited by US Food Drug Administration approved drugs,...

Cocaine is one of the most commonly trafficked and abused drugs in United States, deployable field tests are important for rapid identification nonlaboratory settings. At present, colorimetric exist in-field determination, but these fundamentally suffer from interferent effects. an organic salt that readily water soluble as a cation almost insoluble deprotonated neutral form. Here, we take advantage electrochemical window to increase pH at electrode surface by driving reduction, effectively...
