The virus often mutates by simply deleting small pieces of its genetic code. The mutations "disguise" the virus from antibodies.

Nucleoside analogs are transformative in cancer and antiviral therapies, offering new avenues for treatment despite ...

Researchers review the ever-growing list of human viruses, examining their diversity, transmission pathways, and the urgent ...

A new study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) reveals how the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolved from initially ...

Is it common for the flu to zap us twice in the winter months? Massachusetts, and the U.S. for that matter, had a surge in ...

The recent silencing of communications from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by the Trump administration is worrisome.

It's been five years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Public health experts explain where we are now.

Findings indicate a sharp drop in immunity after Omicron infection, stressing the necessity for updated vaccines to enhance protection against reinfection.

Abstract: The rapid mutations of viruses such as COVID-19 pose significant challenges for vaccine development and effective disease management. In response to these challenges, this study introduces a ...

This evolution is particularly rapid in RNA viruses, such as influenza or SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19), because their genetic material undergoes many copying errors. Some mutations can give them an advantage ...

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 ... projection of the ...
