The immunopathogenesis of viral diseases is a crucial focus in contemporary immunology, reflecting the interplay between viral agents and host immune ...

Researchers from University of Tsukuba and Institute of Science Tokyo have identified nonrandom patterns in the emergence of ...

A landmark study shows that bat viruses closely related to SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 emerged far from outbreak sites, pointing to the wildlife trade, not natural bat movement, as the most plausible ...

The question of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 continues to occupy scientists, the media, and the public intensely even 5 years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Where the virus came from, when and ...

Researchers analyzing 761 first-trimester pregnancies found that SARS-CoV-2 was rarely detected in placental tissues, ...

Researchers have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, may be changing crucial white blood cells called neutrophils so that instead of working to destroy pathogens, they instead ...

A multi-institutional study led by researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has revealed a previously underappreciated mechanism by ...

Researchers have discovered that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks three important host proteins that dampen the activity of the complement system, a key component of early antiviral immunity. This significantly ...

Approximately 15 to 20 million Americans who have acquired COVID-19 experience persistent symptoms lasting over 3 months (long-COVID). Respiratory symptoms of long-COVID include breathlessness, ...

UCSF researchers designed new drug candidates that potently block MPro, a viral enzyme that's crucial for SARS-CoV-2 replication. One of these drug candidates, AVI-4516, is shown (center) bound to the ...
