A research team led by distinguished professor Giuseppe Pezzotti at the Biomedical Engineering Center, Kansai Medical University (Japan), has demonstrated that differences in the molecular structures ...

Antibodies are an important defense against SARS-CoV-2, but the virus continues to evolve ways to evade them. Now, researchers have mapped how antibodies target a key region of the virus's spike ...

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants emerged in 2022 with >30 novel mutations in the spike alone. While most studies focus on receptor binding domain changes, mutations in the C-terminus of S1 (CTS1), adjacent ...

The southernmost part of Thailand is a unique and culturally diverse region that has been greatly affected by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak during the ...

The Global Virus Network (GVN), representing eminent human and animal virologists from more than 90 Centers of Excellence and Affiliates in over 40 countries dedicated to advancing research, ...

While headlines warn that AI could unleash future biological threats, the technology also offers our best defense: a way to anticipate viral evolution and stress-test treatments. Rather than waiting ...

The WHO Technical Advisory Group on COVID-19 Vaccine Composition (TAG-CO-VAC) continues to closely monitor the genetic and antigenic evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants, immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 ...

A laboratory study used Raman barcodes to distinguish 20 SARS-CoV-2 strains and subvariants through RNA molecular ...

New findings raise concerns about the potential effects of maternal COVID-19 infection on early nervous system development.

Human neural stem cells that help form the brain and spinal cord are highly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, including omicron ...

We're keeping an eye on new influenza and SARS-CoV-2 viral variants. Here's what we know about those viruses—and your immune system's ability to fight back. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease ...

Japanese researchers distinguished 20 SARS-CoV-2 variants and subvariants using Raman spectra of extracted RNA.
