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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The commission specifically condemned the practice of "spiking of the protein content with the aid of unknown amino acids." The commission ruled in Shekhawat's favour, awarding him Rs 1.1 lakh as ...

This has enabled them to predict and characterize the interactions between variants of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, the virus responsible for Covid-19, and the human receptor hACE2. These advanced ...
