SARS-CoV-2 invades host cells by binding to the ACE receptor on their surface via its spike protein (S). "The infection ...

Quantum mechanical modeling allowed the team to develop an initial set of predictions about the role of mutations on infectivity and immune response evasion of Omicron and other SARS-CoV-2 variants ...

For decades, lab-made antibodies have been used to support patients fighting specific diseases. These treatments have become ...

Findings indicate a sharp drop in immunity after Omicron infection, stressing the necessity for updated vaccines to enhance ...

This has enabled them to predict and characterize the interactions between variants of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, the virus responsible for Covid-19, and the human receptor hACE2. These advanced ...

The study explores the potential of chitosan derivatives as novel inhibitors against the wild-type and emerging variants of ...

A UK study finds detectable antibodies reduce COVID-19 infection and severity in immunosuppressed individuals, highlighting the need for ongoing protection.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is associated with more rapid progression of coronary ...

Viruses are masters at disguise. When they are pushed too far by our immune system, they send new virus variants into play that are no longer recognized by immune cells. They escape our immune system ...

Chitosan, a naturally occurring polysaccharide derived from chitin, has demonstrated significant potential as an antiviral ...
