[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] The COVID-19 pandemic has affected over 60 million people worldwide, of which nearly 1.43 million have died from the severe COVID-19 disease and nearly 40 million have recovered. COVID-19 disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is severe and leads to life-threatening complications in a small …

[ad_1] A team of US scientists from the University of Chicago, NCH Healthcare System, and University of South Florida has identified a specific set of genes associated with a poor prognosis for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The study is currently available on bioRxiv* prepress server. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus …

[ad_1] A shorter genome comprising only part of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome competes with the normal virus for growth and can potentially prevent viral replication. The devastating impact of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has led to significant efforts to …

[ad_1] The COVID-19 pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has infected more than 59.65 million people worldwide and caused the deaths of over 1.4 million. The virus, first detected in late December 2019 in Wuhan, China, is the most significant public health problem since the 1918 …

[ad_1] In a recent medRxiv * preprint paper, the researchers of the Health Center of the University of Connecticut in the United States reveal their method CRISPR (WS-CRISPR) with digital hot start for rigorous quantitative and sensitive detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV -2) in clinical samples …

[ad_1] The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic continues to spread around the world, causing over 59.17 million confirmed infections and over 1.39 million deaths. The causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Understanding the size of the virus and its prevalence …

[ad_1] The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2), has caused more than 59 million cases globally. There is currently no vaccine or drug approved for the infection. However, doctors and scientists are using repurposed drugs to help hospitalized patients recover faster and improve clinical outcomes. …

[ad_1] Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc.November 23, 2020 Researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden studied the incidence and regional distribution of Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers in the brains of people with Down syndrome. The findings may offer new possibilities for early diagnosis and preventive treatment of dementia. The study is …
