Apr. 26, 2021 A professor has introduced a new concept for rapidly analyzing for the presence of a virus from colds to coronaviruses. However, although the concept can identify that someone has a type of ...
Apr. 23, 2021 Most infectious bacteria and viruses bind to sugars on the surface of our cells. Now researchers have created a library of tens of thousands of natural cells containing all the sugars found on the ...
Apr. 21, 2021 Researchers demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 infection induces polyfunctional antibodies. Beyond neutralization, these antibodies can activate NK cells or the complement system, leading to the ...
Apr. 21, 2021 Researchers have found a specific mechanism that enables SARS viruses to replicate efficiently in infected ...
Apr. 20, 2021 The observation that most of the viruses that cause human diseases come from other animals has led some researchers to attempt 'zoonotic risk prediction' to second-guess the next virus to ...
Apr. 20, 2021 Using data from the Human Cell Atlas, researchers have identified the differences in immune cells' response in those who had no symptoms compared to severe ...
Apr. 20, 2021 Researchers compared the R (basic reproduction number) of the original SARS-CoV-2 virus with the R of the British variant, and found that the British variant is almost 1.5 times more ...
Apr. 19, 2021 Taking multivitamins, omega-3, probiotics or vitamin D supplements may lessen the risk of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19 infection -- at least among women, ...
Apr. 19, 2021 Immune responses in SARS-CoV-2 patients might provide only incomplete protection against SARS-CoV-2 variants from ...
Apr. 19, 2021 A new study uses computer modeling to suggest that eviction bans authorized during the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the infection rate and not only protected those who would have lost their housing but ...
Apr. 16, 2021 The dominant G-form spike protein 'puts its head up' more frequently to latch on to receptors, but that makes it more vulnerable to ...
Apr. 16, 2021 Scientists have identified a set of human genes that fight SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus that causes COVID-19. Knowing which genes help control viral infection can greatly assist researchers' ...
Apr. 16, 2021 Results of a new study suggest vaccination against COVID-19 remains crucial even in young adults who were previously ...
Apr. 16, 2021 The experimental antiviral drug MK-4482 significantly decreased levels of virus and disease damage in the lungs of hamsters treated for SARS-CoV-2 infection, according to a new study. MK-4482, ...
Apr. 16, 2021 SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, does not infect brain cells but can inflict significant neurological damage, according to a new study of dozens of deceased ...
Apr. 16, 2021 A candidate vaccine that could provide protection against the COVID-19 virus and other coronaviruses has shown promising results in early animal ...
Apr. 16, 2021 Scientists have modeled the spikes of the coronavirus particle to unravel how their shape and number may influence the transmissibility of the ...
Apr. 16, 2021 Some survivors of ebolavirus outbreaks make antibodies that can broadly neutralize these viruses -- and now, scientists have illuminated how these antibodies can disable the viruses so effectively. ...
Apr. 15, 2021 Those recovered from COVID-19 had a robust antibody response after the first mRNA vaccine dose, but little immune benefit after the second dose, according to new research. The findings suggest only a ...
Apr. 15, 2021 Researchers have published an in-depth look at the SARS-CoV-2 mutations that have taken place during the past year. The review discusses the findings of over 180 research articles and follows the ...
