Unfounded claims about SARS-CoV-2’s origin continue to circulate, further complicating efforts to maintain a constructive, evidence-based public discourse.

HealthDay News — mRNA-1083 vaccine is noninferior and induces higher immune responses than recommended influenza and COVID-19 vaccines against several influenza strains and SARS-CoV-2, according ...

Earlier studies suggested that palm civets and raccoon dogs—animals commonly sold in live-animal markets—played a role in the transmission of SARS-CoV-1 to humans in the 2002 SARS outbreak.

The nasal microbiome may influence host risk for COVID-19 by modulating the expression of key proteins that facilitate SARS-CoV-2 entry, including angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which binds ...

Researchers find that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein persists in the skull-meninges-brain axis, driving neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and heightened vulnerability to brain injuries.

A physicist studying mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus claims to have found evidence for a new law of physics termed the "second law of Infodynamics", and that it could indicate we are living in a ...

Comparison of SARS-CoV-2 vs. HCoV-OC43 σ score heat maps for the ORF1ab polyprotein, the S protein, and the M protein (Fig. 1 C) shows that high-scoring sequences are generally clustered into ...

The SARS-CoV-2 virus hijacks our cellular power plants known as mitochondria. A new study hypothesizes that could potentially explain long Covid.

In mouse models and human postmortem samples, SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was found in the skull marrow, meninges, and parenchyma, according to Ali Ertürk, PhD, of the Helmholtz Center Munich in ...

In the most comprehensive autopsy tissue study conducted to date, researchers have found traces of SARS-CoV-2 throughout the entire body, from the brain to the heart. The findings support research ...

The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 is known to interact with the human ACE2 protein via its receptor binding domain (RBD). We have investigated the molecular nature of this interprotein interaction and ...
