According to researchers, an interaction between host microRNA and SARS-CoV-2 could be responsible for the range of disease severities.
The study found five key genetic differences when they compared sequences from severe COVID-19 patients to healthy individuals.
Scientists shows targeting cholesterol or phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) could be a promising strategy to combat multiple coronaviruses.
Study suggests reducing the expression of the methyl-CpG-binding domain 2 (MBD2) protein on macrophages could be a viable therapeutic strategy for lung fibrosis.
A team has found that their drug Molnupiravir (MK-4482/EIDD-2801) acts as an antiviral against SARS-CoV-2 in pre-clinical studies.
The new study shows how SARS-CoV-2 significantly remodels cellular processes in just an hour and identifies potential drug targets and therapeutics for COVID-19.
Researchers have shown that the presence of the inflammasome mediated by NLRP3 is a marker and drug target for COVID-19-related cytokine storms.
Researchers have said that more COVID-19 studies should focus on the mucous membranes of the nose and mouth, to reveal insights into SARS-CoV-2 immunity.
Results of a recent study by researchers at the University of Bristol indicate neuropilin-1 is an important host factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection. The team suggests that blocking neuropilin-1 may be a valuable therapeutic intervention in the treatment of COVID-19. Nikki Withers spoke to one of the study’s lead investigators, Dr…
This in-depth focus features articles on neuropilin-1, a potential new target for COVID-19 drug development, the creation of a lung model to enhance our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 infections and using proteomics to uncover the mechanisms behind COVID-19 symptom severity.
Researchers reveal how two genetic variations may contribute to COVID-19 disease severity and suggest the product of one, the CD209 antigen, may be a potential drug target.
A model of a human lung cell has been used to understand how SARS-CoV-2 uses host cell processes to reproduce, revealing drug targets.
Rodent studies show that using antibodies with different targets and modes of action in combination is more effective at preventing and treating COVID-19.
Using atomistic simulations, a team has demonstrated how coronavirus Spike proteins move and vibrate to let the virus through cell walls.
