A research team led by distinguished professor Giuseppe Pezzotti at the Biomedical Engineering Center, Kansai Medical University (Japan), has demonstrated that differences in the molecular structures ...

Human neural stem cells that help form the brain and spinal cord are highly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, including omicron ...

SARS-CoV-2 continues to circulate globally at high levels and to evolve into new variants. SARS-CoV-2 continues to circulate ...

Antibodies are an important defense against SARS-CoV-2, but the virus continues to evolve ways to evade them. Now, researchers have mapped how antibodies target a key region of the virus's spike ...

A laboratory study used Raman barcodes to distinguish 20 SARS-CoV-2 strains and subvariants through RNA molecular ...

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants emerged in 2022 with >30 novel mutations in the spike alone. While most studies focus on receptor binding domain changes, mutations in the C-terminus of S1 (CTS1), adjacent ...

The Global Virus Network (GVN), representing eminent human and animal virologists from more than 90 Centers of Excellence and Affiliates in over 40 countries dedicated to advancing research, ...

The southernmost part of Thailand is a unique and culturally diverse region that has been greatly affected by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak during the ...

While headlines warn that AI could unleash future biological threats, the technology also offers our best defense: a way to anticipate viral evolution and stress-test treatments. Rather than waiting ...

Japanese researchers distinguished 20 SARS-CoV-2 variants and subvariants using Raman spectra of extracted RNA.

A new study shows that N-linked glycans at positions 603, 616 and 657 near the SARS-CoV-2 spike furin cleavage site govern ...

Scientists at Moderna Inc. are seeking a solution to the rapid emergence of viral variants that escape treatments. Many monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) initially work well against a single target but ...
