Alex Berenson, a reporter who became a prominent vaccine skeptic during the COVID-19 pandemic, said that a Yale University study on long COVID and post-vaccination syndrome found the virus' spike ...

Several coronavirus variants have emerged in recent weeks that have got scientists worried. The variants, which were first identified in the UK (B117), South Africa (B1351) and Brazil (P1 and ...

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 ...

The spike protein of the coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2, binds to ACE2, a receptor on the host cells, which allows the virus to enter the cells and infect it. Binding is the first step for infection, and ...

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 ...

Scientists discover that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein remains in the brain and skull bone marrow for years post-infection, causing chronic inflammation and increasing neurodegenerative disease risk.

Past efforts to develop CoV vaccines have used whole-inactivated virus, live-attenuated virus, recombinant protein subunit, or genetic approaches. CoV spike (S) proteins mediate cellular ...
