Scientists are zeroing in on the virus species in the world’s oceans that are most likely to combat climate change by helping trap carbon dioxide…
Researchers at UCSF found that Paxlovid does not reduce the risk of long COVID in vaccinated, non-hospitalized individuals and observed a higher rate of symptom…
CNIO researchers have discovered the essential role of endogenous retroviruses in embryonic development, specifically in the transition from totipotency to pluripotency. This study, which challenges…
Structure of the poxviral core protein A10. The three subunits of the trimer (colored differently) are represented as simulated cryo-EM surfaces. The cryo-EM surface is…
Research reveals that genotyping technology identifies Covid variants faster and more affordably than whole genome sequencing, enabling quicker public health responses and having broader implications…
A new intranasal vaccine candidate developed shows improved and longer-lasting immunity against COVID-19, potentially reducing the need for booster shots by enhancing mucosal and systemic…

Research on φX174, a bacteriophage, unveils potential in treating antibiotic-resistant infections. Historically significant in phage therapy and molecular biology, φX174’s unique cell-lysing mechanism could pave…
A study comparing COVID-19 and seasonal influenza shows both viruses can cause significant long-term health issues post-hospitalization, with COVID-19 affecting multiple organ systems and the…
Immunology researchers have introduced a computational tool to improve pandemic preparedness by enabling the comparison of diverse experimental data. This algorithm uses machine learning to…
The COVID Moonshot Consortium’s report highlights the discovery of a new class of inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2’s main protease. This global collaboration has produced a promising…
A new minimally invasive treatment using CT-guided stellate ganglion block shows promise in restoring the sense of smell in long-COVID patients with parosmia. Early results…
Viruses can become “sick” when another virus impairs their function. This often involves a battle for control within a host cell. Satellite viruses, like the…
Nagoya University researchers discovered that human responses to COVID-19, such as lockdowns, affect the virus’s evolution, making it more transmissible earlier in its lifecycle. Their…
Researchers discovered a unique viral interaction where a satellite bacteriophage physically attaches to a helper bacteriophage. This groundbreaking finding, originating from what was initially thought…
MIT researchers have discovered the open structure of the SARS-CoV-2 E channel, complementing their previous findings on its closed state. This research could aid in…
