[ad_1] In an article recently published on Trends in endocrinology and metabolism, Graziano Pinna of the University of Illinois at Chicago outlines some of the evidence that suggests that female reproductive hormones may play a role in the sexual bias that has been observed in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Reports …

[ad_1] Researchers studied the effect of several SARS-CoV-2 mutations on its binding to the human angiotensin 2 converting enzyme using molecular dynamics simulations. They found that the N439K mutant binds more strongly than the original Wuhan strain, which could have implications for therapies such as monoclonal antibodies. The 2019 coronavirus …

[ad_1] Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in late 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has rapidly progressed into a devastating pandemic affecting global public health and paralyzing economies. So far, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused over 55.4 million infections and over 1.33 million …

[ad_1] Researchers in Korea and the United States have identified new genetic variants that demonstrate active mutational progression of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the agent that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Two of the mutations occurred in the receptor binding domain of the viral spike protein, the …

[ad_1] Children with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) sometimes develop multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), which is associated with high morbidity. The underlying mechanism associated with T cells is described by the researchers in a new study published on the prepress server bioRxiv* in November 2020, in response to superantigen …
