Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor (ACE2R) is a transmembrane protein expressed in various tissues throughout the body that plays a key role in the regulation of blood pressure. Recently, ACE2R ...

SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 bind to the human ACE2 receptor in practically identical conformations, although several residues of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) differ between them. Herein, we have used ...

Researchers found that Akkermansia muciniphila boosts lung-specific antiviral immunity against SARS-CoV-2 in mice by modulating the gut–lung axis. This commensal gut bacterium shows promise as a ...

"These viruses are so closely related to MERS, so we have to be concerned if they ever infect humans," said virologist ...

If we want to prevent viral infections or develop drugs that can effectively treat them, those infections have to be ...

The XFG variant, now the dominant COVID strain in Maharashtra, shows strong immune evasion and is a recombinant Omicron ...

In a last crucial step, Bernier, Carlson, and other members of the team tested WYS-694 as an oral prophylactic treatment in mice expressing the human ACE2 receptor, which they infected with the ...

Multidisciplinary AI- and physics-driven modeling of the viral fusion process has enabled the discovery of an orally available drug inhibiting infection with multiple coronaviruses.

Despite years of global investigation, the WHO confirms COVID-19’s true origin remains unknown due to limited data, with ...
