In light of the ongoing threat posed by new viruses following the emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which led to the COVID-19 pandemic, new antiviral drugs ...

Researchers have identified new host factors that interact with the receptor binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to promote viral entry. This finding offers valuable mechanistic insights ...

Researchers think the virus behind COVID-19 may have multiple ways into cells—which could help us understand how it behaves.

A peptide synthesized by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil protected human lung cells against infection by SARS-CoV-2 in the laboratory and eliminated the inflammation caused ...

A research team has made a discovery in the fight against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for COVID-19. The team has uncovered new insights into how ...

Researchers have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, may be changing crucial white blood cells called neutrophils so that instead of working to destroy pathogens, they instead ...

A recent study published in the journal Nature evaluated differential autoreactivity to human and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) proteomes in SARS-CoV-2-infected children ...

Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, uses a sophisticated tactic to evade the human body's defense ...

A multi-institutional study led by researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has revealed a previously underappreciated mechanism by ...
