The virus that causes COVID-19 continues to mutate. Scientists say that's likely to continue indefinitely, and the virus will ...

Kei Sato was looking for his next big challenge five years ago when it smacked him — and the world — in the face. The ...

Viruses like SARS-CoV-2 use sugar molecules to hide from the immune system, but scientists at Scripps Research have designed ...

If that remained true, the virus would not change much to become more dangerous soon, and any vaccine could provide years of durable protection. What actually happened was that SARS-CoV-2 began ...

Dr. Melvin Vopson, a scientist studying SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind Covid-19 ... his research suggests that mutations in the virus—and perhaps all life—are not random, potentially challenging ...

(Reuters) Chinese researchers have identified a newly discovered bat coronavirus that uses the same cell-surface protein, ACE2, to enter human cells as SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.

scientists said the “risk of emergence in human populations should not be exaggerated” because the virus, known as HKU5-CoV-2, does not enter human cells as readily as SARS-CoV-2. The findings ...

Scientists found that the new virus can bind to human ACE2, making it similar to SARS-CoV-2 and NL63 (a common cold virus). The new virus called HKU5-CoV-2, discovered in bats in China ...

The SARS-CoV-2 spread like wildfire in 2019 claiming millions of lives and creating a dreadful atmosphere. As the world still reels from its side effects, a new bat virus HKU5-CoV2 has been found ...

The virus binds not just to human ACE2 but also to multiple mammalian species, meaning it could spread through an intermediate animal before reaching humans ...

The discovery raises concerns about the virus's similarity to SARS-CoV-2 and its potential implications.
