Researchers develop a knock-in mouse expressing human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) to model SARS-CoV-2 infection for research and therapeutic or vaccine testing.
A new suggestion has highlighted that the available pharmacologically-established existing medicines should be used to combat COVID-19.
Collaboration between scientists, illustrators and simulators has culminated in highly detailed three-dimensional (3D) models of SARS-CoV-2.
Find several chemical formulas for potential COVID-19 therapeutics and drug targets currently in development here.
Collaborative research has revealed two hallmarks of COVID-19 infection associated with more severe symptoms that can be identified by a blood test.
Researchers demonstrate that a subpopulation of circulating white blood cells can act as an early indicator of vaccine efficacy, with potential implications for COVID-19 drug development.
Macaques were protected against SARS-CoV-2 infection both after an initial infection and vaccination with a prototype vaccine, researchers suggest humans could respond similarly.
Post-infection genome editing could be the cause of mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, driving its evolution.
An antibody called S309, identified in a blood sample from a SARS patient, inhibits related coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, researchers have found.
A detailed analysis of the body's immune response to COVID-19 has revealed that it can recognise SARS-CoV-2 in many ways, meaning vaccines can be used to stop the spread of the virus.
Researchers have found that antibodies produced in response to SARS and COVID-19 are cross-reactive, but not cross protective in cells and mice.
A new article has outlined the body's inflammatory response to COVID-19 infection, saying that lipid mediators derived from omega-3 fatty acids could prevent life-threatening inflammation.
Researchers are utilising computers to aid in their investigations into a COVID-19 treatment. Here, we highlight three studies using simulations, calculations and AI to identify a drug to combat the coronavirus.
A vaccine currently in Phase I clinical trials was effective at inducing immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 in mice and rhesus macaques.
