New study reveals how lingering spike protein in the brain's borders could explain long-term COVID-19 neurological symptoms and highlight vaccines' protective role. Study: Persistence of spike protein ...

New research has uncovered a series of mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that enhanced the virus' ability to infect the brains of mice. The findings may help scientists understand its ...

Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) have identified a mechanism that may explain the neurological symptoms of Long COVID. The study shows that the SARS-CoV-2 ...

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been controversy surrounding the origins of SARS-CoV-2. New research from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), School of Medicine ...

A research team from three Johns Hopkins institutions has shown that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can “reprogram” pathogen-fighting white blood cells known as neutrophils (left side) ...

I'll never understand why masking isn't required - or even just strongly encouraged - in all medical facilities, or, at the very least, in hospitals. A recent study published in the peer-reviewed ...

UCSF researchers designed new drug candidates that potently block MPro, a viral enzyme that's crucial for SARS-CoV-2 replication. One of these drug candidates, AVI-4516, is shown (center) bound to the ...
