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

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 ...

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

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

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

In prior bird flu outbreaks, there’ve been several documented cases of feline-to-feline spread, but ingestion seems to be the ...

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 ...
