Abstract

This review synthesizes findings from two studies to provide a comprehensive perspective on SARS-CoV2 infection. One study examines the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine booster doses in hospitalized patients during the Omicron BA.2 and BA.5 subvariant epidemics in Greece. The second study investigates the molecular mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 replication, focusing on the role of the host protein EWSR1 in facilitating viral replication. By integrating the clinical perspective of vaccine-induced protection with the molecular intricacies of viral replication, this review offers a holistic understanding of COVID-19 dynamics, highlighting both the successes of vaccination strategies and potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
