The researchers were able to monitor the virus’s growth in organoids derived from human intestinal cells. Pink and red show areas of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Credit:…
ACE2 (yellow), the receptor for COVID-19, was more highly expressed in the apical surface (left) when lung epithelial cells were exposed to organophosphates and IL-6.…
The virus that causes COVID-19, called SARS-CoV-2, is shown here in an electron microscope image. Credit: NIAID-RML Australia has recently seen SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that…
The global population could reach 10 billion by 2050; explosive population growth is contributing to a broad array of other challenges for the planet. The…
New study uncovers human-to-cat transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19. New research provides evidence that people have transmitted SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19,…
The analysis of protein sequences allows scientists to predict protein interactions. They can then identify potential new players in the coronavirus infection process. Credit: Rayne…
Scientists modeling the spread of COVID-19 showed that a temporary state of immunity arises when many social groups collectively have been infected. This ‘transient collective…
Genetic material from COVID-19 can survive up to a month in dust, a new study has found, offering a possible low-cost way to track outbreaks.…

Study conducted at BIDMC is among the first to compare the impact of COVID-19 on patients and hospital resources versus the impact of influenza. In…
COVID-19 could pass into people’s lungs from saliva with the virus moving directly from mouth to bloodstream — particularly if individuals are suffering from gum…
Double Masking to Protect Yourself From COVID-19? New Research Shows How to Double the Effectiveness
Fit matters most when double masking to protect yourself from COVID-19. A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine shows that wearing two face coverings can…
But protective effects seen only among women. Taking multivitamins, omega-3, probiotics, or vitamin D supplements may lessen the risk of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, the…
Steven L. Zeichner, MD, PhD, of UVA Children’s, says the vaccine could be produced very quickly, at very low cost, in existing factories around the…
