COVID-19: Ozone Proved to Be Highly Efficient in Effective in Disinfecting Coronavirus
Studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 remains active on aerosols and surfaces for between several hours and several days, depending on the nature of the surface…

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is coated with sugars called glycans, which help it evade the immune system. New research shows precisely how those…
The coronaviruses that cause SARS and COVID-19 have spike proteins that move into “active” and “inactive” positions, and new research indicates how those molecular movements…
Viruses make copies of themselves during an infection, and new research sheds light on one of the coronavirus molecules that is important for this process,…
People with COVID-19 may lose their sense of smell and taste for up to five months after infection, according to a preliminary study released today,…
Scientists develop peptides that could inactivate coronavirus. Fool the novel coronavirus once and it can’t cause infection of cells, new research suggests. Scientists have developed…
Scientists are working toward advances that, using nanotechnology, could lead to a hospital bed or doorknob that naturally destroys viruses. Advances in the fields of…
As the Mars Rover sets out to look for evidence of life on another planet, scientists back on Earth suggest viruses played a key role…
DNA variants passed on to modern humans from Neanderthals can increase as well as decrease our ability to fight SARS-CoV-2, a new PNAS study finds….
University of Warwick scientists model movements of nearly 300 protein structures in COVID-19 Scientists can use the simulations to identify potential targets to test with…
D614G mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, now ubiquitous, increases virus’ ability to infect human cells. A mutation in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2—one of…
Extending the symptoms that trigger a PCR test for COVID-19 could help detect around a third more cases of the disease. New research led by…
Selfies, Gorillas and the Risks of Disease Transmission Tourists could be spreading the virus causing COVID-19 to wild mountain gorillas by taking selfies with the…
Protein Sequences Provide Clues to How SARS-CoV-2 Infects Cells Researchers at EMBL Heidelberg have identified sequences in human proteins that might be used by SARS-CoV-2…
Some coronaviruses can add to their genetic pool some genes belonging to the host they infected. In this way, they can blend in and be…
Dogs’ Highly Evolved Noses Can Rapidly Detect the SARS-CoV-2 Virus For some 15,000 years, dogs have been our hunting partners, workmates, helpers, and companions. Could…
First and only study to give molecular and serological evidence that SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses circulate in bats and pangolins in Southeast Asia High diversity of SARS-CoV-2-related…
The molecular details of how SARS-CoV-2 enters cells and infects them are still not clear. Researchers at Uppsala University have tested the bioinformatic predictions made…
