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

Scientists reveal that reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), driven by TGFβ-induced immune suppression, is a key driver ...

The immune molecule TGFβ has been found to weaken immune defences against latent viruses, triggering reactivation of the Epstein–Barr virus. This mechanism links TGFβ release in SARS-CoV-2 ...

Gene Machine A SARS-CoV-2 virus particle wafting into a ... inside a fatty membrane that protects a twisting strand of RNA--a molecule that holds the virus's genetic code. Proteins called "S ...

A Stanford-led team has found two antibodies that can work together to defeat all SARS-CoV-2 variants. More research is needed, but the approach could help in the development of treatments to keep ...

The shorter strands provided instructions for the large molecule to twist and fold ... Zika, chikungunya, and SARS-CoV-2—by mixing them with virus-like particles, small particles that contain proteins ...

Several studies have suggested that COVID-19 may increase a person’s risk of developing cancer or promote metastasis of existing cancer.

Receptor inhibition: Chitosan derivatives target receptors such as ACE2 (for SARS-CoV-2) and CD4+ (for HIV-1), preventing viral attachment and replication. Immune modulation: It induces systemic ...

This is a type of molecule that gives instructions to the ... This protein is found on the outside of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. The muscle cells then destroy the instructions ...

The need for tens of millions of reliable SARS-CoV-2 diagnostics has driven ... to make millions of copies of a single DNA or RNA molecule. Traditional PCR amplification is a qualitative assay ...
