A newly developed laboratory tool can, within hours, help to identify specific viruses which can be used to destroy variants ...
The antibodies attach to a part of the virus that doesn't appear to mutate, potentially allowing them to work on multiple ...
SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, infects cells by binding its spike protein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 ...
Viruses like the one that causes COVID-19 constantly mutate, rendering many antibody treatments ineffective. A Stanford-led ...
“We computationally predict what mutations allow better binding to host receptors and better evasion of antibodies,” said Boston College Assistant Professor of Biology Babak Momeni, a lead researcher ...
The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a bile acid nuclear receptor that plays a crucial role in regulating bile acid and sterol metabolism.
Summary: Tocilizumab is a novel monoclonal antibody that competitively inhibits the binding of interleukin-6 (IL-6) to its receptor (IL-6R). Inhibiting the entire receptor complex prevents IL-6 ...
