Maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy does not significantly alter early childhood neurodevelopmental outcomes in a meta-analysis.

When the COVID-19 pandemic first began, we saw how quickly the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolved. New variants emerged with mutations that increased transmissibility or helped the virus evade our immune ...

Since the start of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, several variants of the virus have developed into Variants of Concern (VOCs), as classified by the World Health Organization (WHO). VOCs are virus variants ...

The question of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 continues to occupy scientists, the media, and the public intensely even 5 years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Where the virus came from, when and ...

A multi-institutional study led by researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has revealed a previously underappreciated mechanism by ...

Two of the closest known relatives to SARS-CoV-2 -- a pair of bat coronaviruses discovered by researchers in Laos -- may transmit poorly in people despite being genetically similar to the ...

The global pandemic may be over, but SARS-CoV-2 continues to infect people around the world. Indeed, the United States has recorded roughly 750 deaths from COVID-19 over the past month. Now, an siRNA ...

It’s that time of year: a thick, oppressive heat blankets everything, people huddle inside air-conditioned homes, offices, shops and cafes for respite—and COVID is surging again. Levels of SARS-CoV-2, ...

Computer-Aided Aptamer Modeling and Optimization (CAAMO) enables structure-guided RNA aptamer affinity maturation, producing a SARS-CoV-2 RBD (receptor binding domain) binder that rivals neutralizing ...

Two of the closest known relatives to SARS-CoV-2 — a pair of bat coronaviruses discovered by researchers in Laos — may transmit poorly in people despite being genetically similar to the ...
