In a study published in the journal, Cell, Jing Chen, PhD, and colleagues at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Wuhan, China, ...
Frequent mutations of SARS-CoV-2 have reduced the effectiveness of vaccines, highlighting the need for mutation-resistant ...
The discovery of a new bat coronavirus in China has sparked concerns of another pandemic. The virus, HKU5-CoV-2, is similar to to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
The bat virus, referred to as HKU5-CoV-2, uses the same human receptor as SARS-CoV-2, a strain of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The newly discovered bat strain can infect cells by binding ...
The initial steps of viral infection involve the specific attachment of the viral particle to receptor(s) on the cell surface, followed by internalization of the virus into the cell and the ...
When the COVID-19 pandemic first began, we saw how quickly the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolved. New variants emerged with mutations ...
Researchers have discovered a virus that could enter human cells in a similar way to COVID-19. But they caution it's much ...
Hundreds of coronaviruses exist but only a few can infect humans, including SARS, SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) and MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome). This new one (HKU5-CoV-2) ...
A newly discovered bat coronavirus uses the same cell-surface protein to gain entry into human cells as the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, raising the possibility that it could someday spread ...
The virus that causes COVID-19 has been very good at mutating to keep infecting people—so good that most antibody treatments ...
One of the viruses isolated from these bats, called HKU5-CoV-2, is related to the MERS virus and can enter cells using a protein called the ACE2 receptor, which is found on the cells of many birds ...
