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 ...

How do we know when an animal virus might pose a risk to humans? Canada confirmed a human case of H5N1 avian influenza (often ...

Researchers have taken a significant step toward what they call a “Raman genome” — a spectroscopic fingerprint of viral RNA ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...
