SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, infects cells by binding its spike protein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 ...

Scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China have discovered a new lineage of a coronavirus in bats that can enter human cells in a similar fashion as SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid ...

A newly discovered bat coronavirus uses the same cell-surface protein to gain entry into human cells as the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, raising the possibility that it could someday spread ...

STOCK PHOTO/Adobe In a lab study, the new coronavirus was found to have the potential to enter cells through the ACE2 receptor, a protein found on the cells' surface. This is the same way the ...

It does so by interacting with a protein receptor found in many types of cells, called ACE2. For those who kept up with pandemic-era science, ACE2 is the same receptor that SARS-CoV-2 hacks to ...

Two weeks ago, a blogger wrote about a Yale School of Medicine study that he alleged proved that millions of long COVID sufferers might, in fact, have been injured by the vaccine. The story blew up on ...

The discovery of a new type of coronavirus has once again put the spotlight on what was once the epicentre of Covid-19.

The scientists said that like SARS-CoV-2, the bat virus HKU5-CoV-2 contains a feature known as the furin cleavage site that helps it to enter cells via the ACE2 receptor protein on cell surfaces. In ...

Like SARS-CoV-2, HKU5-CoV-2 can enter cells via the human ACE2 receptor protein on cell surfaces. The newly identified coronavirus is a part of the same family as the virus that causes deadly ...

In a lab study, the new coronavirus was found to have the potential to enter cells through the ACE2 receptor, a protein found on the cells’ surface. This is the same way the virus that causes COVID-19 ...
