Researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Israel Institute for Biological Research in Ness Ziona have used the platform ...

The virus binds to that cell, slips inside and uses the cell's machinery to help make copies of itself. ... The T cells help B cells turn on to produce antibodies that could bind to the actual virus.

A study published in mBio details the vulnerability of coronaviruses to inhibitors of a small protein domain called Mac1, or ...

It has been suggested, however, that the actual amino-acid sequence of the membrane-spanning domain is not critical for the activity of viral fusion proteins. We have examined the function of Moloney ...

But these surrogates can’t tell you what the actual virus does to specific human cell types. “If you work with the real thing, you get real results,” says Elke Mühlberger, ...

After a virus invades a cell, it hijacks its machinery to make copies of itself. White blood cells known as cytotoxic T cells, a.k.a. killer T cells, can identify the wayward cell and make it self ...

As a professor of visual communications, I can’t help but notice all the images of COVID-19 that have been circulating. You’ve probably seen some version of it: a ...

The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 may latch more easily onto the airway cells of people with type A blood compared with those with type B or O blood, a new study suggests.

T cells that specialize in eliminating infected cells ... So it's possible that at least some of the improved binding comes from continued exposure to the actual virus. The big picture.

Cells infected with the new coronavirus grow stringy, tentacle-like arms that allow the virus to invade other cells, according to a new study. The novel coronavirus, known as SARS-CoV-2, has now ...

Using an approach the lab called PAC-MAN (Prophylactic Antiviral Crispr in huMAN cells), the idea was to attack the coronavirus by directing a Crispr torpedo at it, attacking the virus’s genetic ...

Adeno-associated virus type 2 infection activates caspase dependent and independent apoptosis in multiple breast cancer lines but not in normal mammary epithelial cells. Molecular Cancer , 2011 ...
