A new microchip invented by Scripps Research scientists can reveal how a person's antibodies interact with viruses—using just ...

Given the number of times this has happened already, it should come as little surprise that we’re now faced with yet another ...

For systematic and standardized research of SARS-CoV-2 they built minimalistic synthetic virus particles where they can incorporate distinct structures of the SARS-CoV-2 virus like the spike protein.

As the exact zoonotic origin of SARS-CoV-2 remains unresolved, scientists at the Francis Crick Institute in London, UK, explored the structure and binding properties of a Pangolin coronavirus ...

Fact check: SARS-CoV-2 was not created using genes from HIV, Fauci does not hold patents for an ‘HIV component’ to SARS-CoV-2 By Reuters January 7, 20217:54 AM PSTUpdated January 7, 2021 ...

Pseudotyped viruses with the G614 form of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein have been reported to exhibit increased infectivity in continuous cell lines and increased sensitivity to neutralization.

Researchers from Belgium and Germany demonstrated how the spike glycoprotein of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is fine-tuned towards the temperature and protease ...

New research shows that the spike proteins that extrude from SARS-CoV-2 promote inflammatory responses on the endothelial cells that form the blood-brain barrier. The study shows that SARS-CoV-2 ...

Many efforts to develop vaccines and therapies to thwart SARS-CoV-2 focus on the coronavirus spike protein, which binds the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on human cells to allow viral ...

The S glycoprotein mediates host cell attachment and is required for viral entry 3; it is the primary vaccine target for many candidate SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. 4-7 ...
