B cells are part of the immune system's memory ... segment by somatic hypermutation results in neutralization of SARS‐CoV‐2 virus variants, European Journal of Immunology (2024).

A new study reveals evidence that immune cells, liver cells and viral leftovers created a dangerous combination.

in Brazil protected human lung cells against infection by SARS-CoV-2 in the laboratory and eliminated the inflammation caused by the virus in mice susceptible to COVID-19. Development of the ...

A SARS-CoV-2 particle enters a person's nose or mouth and floats in the airway until it brushes against a lung cell that has an ACE2 receptor on the surface. The virus binds to that cell ...

Texas Children's CVD and their collaborators based their vaccine development on a segment of the SARS-CoV or MERS-CoV spike protein (a protein found on the outside of the virus that interacts with the ...

For the study, they focused on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein—the part of the virus responsible for helping it enter human cells—and used a protein language model to predict potential new ...

A new study has found that certain bacteria living in the nose may influence how likely someone is to get a COVID-19 infection. The research reveals that certain types of nasal bacteria can affect the ...

This thesis explores how these memory T cells work in different viral infections, with a focus on Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and SARS-CoV-2 virus. First ...

unlike previous SARS-CoV-2 variants such as Delta that favoured the lower-airway cells of the lung, Omicron preferred to infect the upper airways. “To document that a virus shifted its ...

The following is a summary of “A gold nanoparticle/peptide vaccine designed to induce SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8 T cells: a double-blind, randomized, phase 1 study in Switzerland,” published in the April ...
