Protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 could last eight months or more. New data suggest that nearly all COVID-19 survivors have the immune cells necessary to fight…
UC San Francisco scientists have discovered a new way to control the immune system’s “natural killer” (NK) cells, a finding with implications for novel cell…
Wuhan City in China was the first place to report COVID-19 in the world and — between December 2019 and May 2020 — caused nearly…

The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 docks with its spike protein onto the receptor-ACE2 found on the surface of lung cells. The levels of co-expressed genes with the…
Mini Antibodies Produced by a Llama and Isolated by Neuroscientists Could Prevent COVID-19 Infection
Mini Antibodies Produced by a Llama and Isolated by Neuroscientists Could Prevent COVID-19 Infection
NIH scientists showed that nanobodies isolated from a llama may prevent COVID-19 infections. Infections happen when SARS-CoV-2 virus spike proteins (yellow) latch onto ACE2 receptors…
A preliminary study shows that a drug, which helps immune cells self-clean, may improve vaccine protection in older adults. A drug that boosts the removal…
The drug remdesivir is likely to be a highly effective antiviral against SARS-CoV-2, according to a new study by a team of UK scientists. Writing…

New COVID-19 Research Provides Deep Insights Into Transmission and Mutation Properties of SARS-CoV-2
Austrian study reveals important characteristics of the virus: The analysis of infection clusters and superspreading events in Austria built the foundation to obtain general information…
Funding from the National Institutes of Health will enable a Penn State researcher to study whether vitamin D supplementation could help people ward off or…
A discovery by UVA researchers Dorian A. Rosen and Alban Gaultier led to a recent clinical trial that found that an antidepressant may stop COVID…
