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 ...
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: ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
