The virus that causes COVID-19 has adopted some stealth moves to stay alive and kicking, and one secret to its success is hiding from the immune system by spreading through cell-to-cell transmission, ...
SARS-CoV-2 is the reigning champion of overcoming natural immunity. Infected cells produce interferon, which in turn stimulates an impressive array of hundreds of antiviral genes. SARS-CoV-2 has ...
An amino acid called 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) might be key to reduce the expression of ACE2, a cell membrane receptor that SARS-CoV-2 uses to infect cells. New insights have clarified the ...
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) beta (B.1.351) variant of concern harbors mutations that can mediate immune evasion, and it appears to be less sensitive than the alpha ...
RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- For centuries, coronaviruses have triggered health crises and economic challenges, with SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that spreads COVID-19, being a recent example. One small ...
The monoclonal-antibody combination AZD7442 is composed of tixagevimab and cilgavimab, two neutralizing antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that have an ...
The biology of SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the COVID-19 pandemic, remains partially elusive. Understanding viral mechanisms is a key factor in developing effective treatment strategies against the ...
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which was first discovered in patients with severe pneumonia at the end of 2019, has since infected over 272 million worldwide and ...
