A specific furin cleavage motif on the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, not present on other coronaviruses (CoVs), could be targeted by novel COVID-19 therapies.
Reports suggest the market growth is driven by advances in biotechnology and its applications, as well as COVID-19 research.
The SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome structure has been studied by researchers who identified several potential drug targets.
Using their de novo protein design strategy, researchers engineered human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) protein decoys that can protect cells from SARS-CoV-2 infection.
After viral pneumonia in elderly mice, there is an accumulation of dysfunctional tissue-resident memory T cells in the lungs which scientists suggest may drive chronic inflammation and fibrosis.
Researchers have found antibodies, from infection with common cold coronaviruses, can also target SARS-CoV-2 - especially in children.
A team has revealed how SARS-CoV-2 infects cells, suggesting that targeting its RNA with drugs would stop the virus replicating.
Anti-inflammatory therapies for inflammatory bowel disease could aid recovery from COVID-19 as they target an enzyme involved in both diseases.
A new analysis reveals that the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the immune response it provokes is completely different in adults and children.
According to a new study, the SARS-CoV-2 virus is accumulating genetic mutations, including one called D614G which may have made it more contagious.
Researchers have found that aprotinin, an approved drug for influenza in Russia, combats SARS-CoV-2 in cells.
Researchers have found the genome of COVID-19 and infected cell syncytia in the respiratory cells of deceased patients, potentially explaining long-term coronavirus effects.
According to a new study, blood clots in patients with severe COVID-19 are caused by an autoimmune antibody that circulates in the blood and attacks cells.
Binding of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins to the brain’s endothelial cells can cause the blood-brain barrier to become leaky, potentially causing the neurological symptoms associated with COVID-19.
In a study of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 patients scientists established that the level of certain antibodies remained stable for five months.
