A Cornell study of the structure of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, reveals a unique feature that could explain why it is so transmissible between people. The Cornell group also notes that ...

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 ...

A new longitudinal study provides critical insights into the intricate interplay between human immunity and viral evolution during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research analyzed antibody responses in ...

The global pandemic may be over, but SARS-CoV-2 continues to infect people around the world. Indeed, the United States has recorded roughly 750 deaths from COVID-19 over the past month. Now, an siRNA ...

The envelope protein from SARS-CoV-2 (E) is a single pass transmembrane protein which accumulates in the endoplasmic reticulum golgi intermediate compartment in host cells, where it acts as a ...

UCSF researchers designed new drug candidates that potently block MPro, a viral enzyme that's crucial for SARS-CoV-2 replication. One of these drug candidates, AVI-4516, is shown (center) bound to the ...

Two of the closest known relatives to SARS-CoV-2 — a pair of bat coronaviruses discovered by researchers in Laos — may transmit poorly in people despite being genetically similar to the ...

Researchers have developed a powerful tool that can detect variants of SARS-CoV-2 with high transmission potential before they become widespread. This approach could significantly support public ...

C OVID-19 may leave a lasting impression on the brain, even in people who fully recover from their infection. New research ...
