Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) have identified a mechanism that may explain the neurological symptoms of long COVID. The study shows that the SARS-CoV ...

By performing immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry, the authors showed that Bil is specifically conjugated to the spike protein at the tip of the phage’s tail. Hör said that Bil’s conjugation to the ...

The spike protein of the heavily mutated Pirola variant harbors two mutations, S50L and K356T, which increase infectious entry into lung cells. Image: Markus Hoffmann The use of this material with ...

Researchers at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology and the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research have ...

The reduction was "only around 50 per cent in mice, leaving residual spike protein that continues to pose a toxic risk to the brain". For the study, the team developed a novel AI-powered imaging ...

Researchers at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology and the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research revealed a mechanism involving protein aggregation that allows bacteria to enter a ...

These novel lineages all have mutations in the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the Spike protein in positions known to affect viral tropism. Spike proteins generated with these additional mutations ...
