In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv preprint* server, researchers in Sweden investigated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) protein amyloid as a potential ...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and COVID-19 infection has led to worsened outcomes for patients with cancer. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein mediates host cell infection and ...
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-2 ...
The spike protein tilts towards the host cell membrane so that it can bind to its primary sugar receptor. This interaction then triggers opening of the spike so that it can bind to a protein receptor ...
In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers use cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) in tandem with molecular dynamics simulation to reveal that the usually closed spike proteins ...
A viral video circulating on social media has reignited questions about the lingering effects of Covid-19 and its vaccines. In the video, a prominent oncologist suggests that spike proteins, either ...
In December 2024, a rumor began spreading online that a team of researchers at Yale University had found the "spike protein" of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is responsible for the COVID-19 illness, in ...
