Findings indicate a sharp drop in immunity after Omicron infection, stressing the necessity for updated vaccines to enhance ...

Researchers have identified a novel genetic risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection, providing new insights into the virus's ability to invade human cells. SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that spreads COVID-19.

A study on bat genomes, involving Texas Tech University, discovered genetic adaptations that help bats resist viral ...

A new study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) reveals how the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolved from initially ...

shows that a loss-of-function variant in the phosphatase gene PTPN2, commonly associated with autoimmune diseases, can increase expression of the SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2, making cells more ...

Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant confers weak, short-term protection against reinfection, compared with the much ...

Scientists at the University of São Paulo analyzed blood samples donated by six serodiscordant couples where female partners were resistant to SARS-CoV-2 despite intense contact with their infected ...

How could we forget the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, right? It’s now part of our history, a story to pass on to the next generation. There are hundreds of related SARS-CoV strains known to infect different ...

The discovery of antiviral genes in bats that protect them from pathogens could lead to new approaches to combat viral diseases.

Bats harbor many viruses that can spill over into humans, including Marburg, Ebola, and famously SARS-CoV-2. But while these viruses often cause severe illness in humans, they do not appear to hamper ...
