Children and adolescents have an increased risk for cardiovascular disease after SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with uninfected individuals, according to results of a study in Nature Communications.

This virus originated in bats, as most scientists believe Covid-19 did, and for now, the research has stressed that it is unable to do much damage to humans. But a potential viral mutation may ...

Without routine screening, many SARS-CoV-2 infections still slip under the radar, says Ellie Murray, assistant professor of epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health in Massachusetts.

"These viruses are so closely related to MERS, so we have to be concerned if they ever infect humans," said virologist Michael Letko.

ACE2 from Pipistrellus abramus bats is a receptor for HKU5 coronaviruses. Nature Communications, 2025; 16 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-60286-3 ...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, has an exceptional ability to overcome host defense barriers. It produces a set of specialized ...

Joel Moore, Ph.D., a talented medicinal chemist on the team, designed a series of novel compounds, the best of which, dubbed WYS-633, inhibited the entry of SARS-CoV-2 viruses into lung cells just ...
