One of the viruses isolated from these bats, called HKU5-CoV-2, is related to the MERS virus and can enter cells using a protein called the ACE2 receptor, which is found on the cells of many birds ...

Researchers used cryo-EM, glycoproteomics, and modeling to generate the atomic structure of a fully glycosylated and membrane ...

In a study published in the journal, Cell, Jing Chen, PhD, and colleagues at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Wuhan, China, ...

A new study reveals that herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), commonly known for causing cold sores, can travel through the nasal ...

Frequent mutations of SARS-CoV-2 have reduced the effectiveness of vaccines, highlighting the need for mutation-resistant ...

Researchers have discovered a virus that could enter human cells in a similar way to COVID-19. But they caution it's much ...

Viruses like the one that causes COVID-19 constantly mutate, rendering many antibody treatments ineffective. A Stanford-led ...

The virus that causes COVID-19 has been very good at mutating to keep infecting people—so good that most antibody treatments ...

Scientists found that it can bind to human ACE2 receptors, similar to SARS-CoV-2 (the virus behind COVID-19). This suggests it has the potential for animal-to-human transmission. Experts note that ...

The discovery of a new bat coronavirus in China has sparked concerns of another pandemic. The virus, HKU5-CoV-2, is similar to to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

The antibodies attach to a part of the virus that doesn't appear to mutate, potentially allowing them to work on multiple ...
