Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) have identified a mechanism that may explain the ...

A study headed by researchers at the Applied Biomedical Science Institute and collaborators have uncovered a region of the SARS-CoV-2 virus spike protein that induces potentially pathogenic ...

Published on medRxiv, the research highlights immune dysregulation, increased inflammation markers, and prolonged spike protein presence in circulation months to years after vaccination.

As demonstrated in animal studies, the vaccine removed sugar molecules from an area of a coronavirus spike protein that rarely mutates and created effective and plentiful antibodies to inactivate ...

For the study, they focused on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein—the part of the virus responsible for helping it enter human cells—and used a protein language model to predict potential new ...

Pfizer and BioNTech have started a mid-stage trial of a new version of the COVID-19 vaccine based on a version of the spike protein that they hope will offer greater and broader protection against ...

The SARS-CoV-2 spike or fusion protein is a trimer: a group of three units, each consisting of a receptor-binding subunit, S1, and a subunit responsible for fusion, S2. The three S1 and S2 ...
