In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv preprint* server, researchers in Sweden investigated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) protein amyloid as a potential ...

New research has uncovered a series of mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that enhanced the virus' ability to infect the brains of mice. The findings may help scientists understand its ...

The omicron BA.2.86 lineage of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, is known to have emerged suddenly with approximately 30 genetic mutations in the spike protein, similar to ...

A new study reveals how targeted electromagnetic waves can disrupt the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, potentially opening doors to innovative disinfection and infection control strategies. Study: ...

SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, infects cells by binding its spike protein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors. Blocking this interaction with inhibitors could prevent ...

U.S. cases of COVID-19 are on the rise following a springtime lull in infections. But what is the reason behind this spike, and should you be concerned? Across the U.S., there has been a significant ...

It’s that time of year: a thick, oppressive heat blankets everything, people huddle inside air-conditioned homes, offices, shops and cafes for respite—and COVID is surging again. Levels of SARS-CoV-2, ...
