Who bears responsibility for the COVID-19 pandemic? While a detailed forensic accounting will ultimately reveal the contribution of people and institutions to the current crisis, we must take care not ...

The new SARS-CoV-2 saltation variant PJ.2.1, first detected in Canada in May 2026. It is now spreading across North America, ...

S-880008 is a lipidated macrocyclic peptide that broadly inhibits SARS-CoV-2 variants. By locking spike proteins in a fusion-incompetent state through interactions with conserved sites, it blocks ...

A new COVID-19 variant, PJ.2.1, is attracting attention after being detected across several countries, including parts of ...

A newly identified COVID-19 lineage, PJ.2.1, is being studied for its highly mutated spike protein and growing presence in ...

Long-term wastewater surveillance revealed hidden SARS-CoV-2 transmission, detected variants early, and supported new EU public health mandates, demonstrating wastewater-based epidemiology as a ...

Researchers from University of Tsukuba and Institute of Science Tokyo have identified nonrandom patterns in the emergence of spike D614 reversions in publicly available SARS-CoV-2 genomic data.

UCLA researchers discovered that a lesser-known SARS-CoV-2 protein called nucleocapsid can amplify inflammatory signals in macrophages, immune cells that help detect viruses and coordinate the body’s ...

Hospitalised adults with SARS‑CoV‑2, parainfluenza virus, or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection are more likely to develop acute respiratory failure than those with influenza A/B infection — ...

During the first few years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the virus SARS-CoV-2 was detected in an increasing number of non-human animal species. This included many wild animal species as well as domestic ...

Since the emergence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), understanding the mechanisms underlying severe pneumonia has remained a major research challenge. Although mouse ...
