A study by UPMC and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine found that monoclonal antibody treatments significantly reduced the risk of hospitalization or death…
Scientists have developed a device using single-atom-thick nanomaterials capable of simultaneously detecting the presence of viruses causing COVID-19 and the flu. The device offers much…
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) hijacks parts of infected cells’ vital RNA machinery, thereby blocking important functions in the cells. These damaging changes in the RNA can…
Researchers have developed a molecule that is, when administered nasally, extremely effective in preventing the disease caused by all known variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus…
Another new mosquito species has made its way across the tropics into Florida, making a permanent home in at least three counties. Scientists are concerned…
Extremely long tail provides a window into how bacteria-infecting viruses assemble. A recent study in the Journal of Biological Chemistry has revealed the secret behind…
By monitoring the body’s molecular response to a viral attack, the new method developed by Flatiron Institute researchers and their colleagues can diagnose even asymptomatic…
By creating a drug that’s based on part of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, researchers can block the virus from entering cells. The virus that causes…
The first major screening of botanical extracts to search for potency against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Two common wild plants contain extracts that inhibit the ability…
An experimental vaccine against the Marburg virus (MARV) was shown to be safe and induced an immune response in a small, first-in-human clinical trial, according…
Measles Virus “Cooperates” With Itself To Cause Fatal Encephalitis Scientists discover a new mechanism for how the measles virus can cause a rare but fatal…
An enzyme that defends human cells against viruses can help drive cancer evolution towards greater malignancy by causing myriad mutations in cancer cells, according to…
Study first to investigate and demonstrate the effects of ‘virovory’ Over a single day, in the placid waters of a single pond, a million virus…
CU Anschutz researchers suspect it disrupts the olfactory tract, impacting the hippocampus which controls memory and learning. Viruses can inflame and disrupt connections between the…
An analysis of tissue samples from the autopsies of 44 people who died with COVID-19 shows that SAR-CoV-2 virus spread throughout the body—including into the…
University of Ottawa-led team found a new viral entry for SARS-CoV-2 and suggests it may be able to use proteins to infect a wider range…
Investigational drug works differently than antibody drugs which are losing effectiveness against the COVID-19 virus. Scientists have developed a drug that potently neutralizes SARS-CoV-2, the…
