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

When the COVID-19 pandemic first began, we saw how quickly the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolved. New variants emerged with mutations ...

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

SARS-CoV-2 secondary structure shapes mutation frequencies, constraining viral evolution models predicting fitness can benefit from integrating secondary structure data.

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

Here the authors characterise the cellular and molecular progression of lung alveolar damage in severe COVID-19 patients using integrated histopathology and cell atlassing, pinpointing a role for ...

A Stanford-led team has found two antibodies that can work together to neutralize the virus that causes COVID-19 in all its ...

What actually happened was that SARS-CoV-2 began mutating quickly, first to be more transmissible and then to evade our immunity, causing breakthrough infections and reinfections. Five years and ...

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 ...

Scientists found that the new virus can bind to human ACE2, making it similar to SARS-CoV-2 and NL63 (a common cold virus). The new virus called HKU5-CoV-2, discovered in bats in China ...
