New research led by the Doherty Institute has found the SARS-CoV-2 virus has the ability to momentarily accelerate its evolutionary pace, enabling variants to emerge…
New research shows virus plays the ultimate game of ‘hide and seek’ with immune system. People suffering from COVID-19 could have several different SARS-CoV-2 variants…
Simulations reveal low filtration efficiency in woven fabric. Like many other viruses, COVID-19 is transmitted primarily via particles carried in the air. An infected person…
An extremely fast new 3D imaging method can show how cells respond to infection and to possible treatments. To combat a pandemic, science needs to…
Several FDA-approved drugs — including for type 2 diabetes, hepatitis C and HIV — significantly reduce the ability of the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 to…
Gut bacteria brew all sorts of chemicals, but we don’t know what most of them do. A new study suggests that one such compound, previously…
First announced by the World Health Organization on November 26, 2021, the SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant spread rapidly around the world, becoming the dominant variant in…
Uppsala researchers have succeeded in designing a molecule that inhibits the replication of coronaviruses and that has great potential for development into a drug suitable…
In a groundbreaking study published on February 9, 2022, scientists describe how Ebola virus, which can persist in certain areas of the body, can re-emerge…
A highly virulent variant of HIV-1 has been circulating in the Netherlands for the past few decades, researchers report. According to the new study, a…
UC Riverside-led team develops new computational method that applies techniques from statistical physics mathematical models in epidemiology. During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, multiple new and more…
New HIV variant with higher virulence and more damaging health impacts discovered in study led by the University of Oxford. As the ongoing coronavirus pandemic…
A computational study shows that dozens of mutations help the virus’ spike protein evade antibodies that target SARS-CoV-2. A new study from MIT suggests that…
Portable, noninvasive $51 testing kit could aid resource-poor regions, refugee camps, disaster zones. Researchers have developed a $51 “lab-in-a-backpack” that could expand the ability of…
A former UBC post-doctoral research fellow led an international research team in re-analyzing all public RNA sequencing data to uncover almost ten times more RNA…
In a new study, published in PLOS ONE, scientists from Queen Mary University of London show that their lab-in-a-backpack approach is as effective as commercially…
Findings explain how mutations in the protein allow the omicron variant of the pandemic coronavirus to evade antibodies against previous variants yet remain so infectious….
UChicago Medicine study suggests high-purity CBD may help block virus from replicating. Researchers recommend clinical trials for CBD to prevent COVID-19 based on promising animal…
