How do we know when an animal virus might pose a risk to humans? Canada confirmed a human case of H5N1 avian influenza (often called “bird flu”) in 2024, the first ever known to have been acquired in ...

This month’s story comes from the Bloom lab using their signature deep mutational scanning technique to identify mutations in the surface protein of Lassa virus -called glycoprotein- that escape ...

Deep inside the human genome lie the remnants of ancient viral infections, sequences that make up more than 40 percent of our ...

Researchers have developed EVE-Vax, a computational design tool that creates synthetic SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins mimicking future immune-evading variants. These designed proteins enable early ...

Newswise — New York, NY, October 23, 2024 — Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, in collaboration with colleagues in the field, have developed an innovative antibody platform ...

The avian flu virus isolated from a hospitalized teenager in Vancouver has mutations in key areas that could help the virus spread more easily in humans, scientists say. There is no indication that ...

The virus that causes COVID-19 is accumulating genetic mutations, one of which may have made it more contagious. The number of virus strains present in each zip code in Houston during the second wave ...

I LEARNED a lot about pandemics and epidemics during Covid-19 as it was the first real epidemic that affected me, and I assume most of us directly. I wasn’t in Hong Kong during SARS and other ...

Scientists have developed an innovative antibody platform aimed at tackling one of the greatest challenges in treating rapidly evolving viruses like SARS-CoV-2: their ability to mutate and evade ...
