New research indicates that SARS-CoV-2 may be able to impact viral pathogenesis without entering host cells— extracellular binding of the spike protein to host ACE2 has the potential to alter ...

Long-haul COVID has been a medical anomaly since the beginning of the pandemic, but a new study found that spike protein could be the cause. Spike protein — which sticks out of the virus ...

New research published in Science Translational Medicine suggests an mRNA vaccine that targets both the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S) as well as the nucleocapsid protein (N) may offer stronger and ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — If you’re an avid reader of science news, you’ve probably heard of viral proteins such as the COVID-19 spike protein. Lesser known, perhaps, in the anatomy of viruses are a class of ...

Boston University COVID researchers have combined the omicron variant spike protein with the original virus, testing the created strain on mice "to help fight against future pandemics," according ...

What makes these 13 mutations all the more intriguing is that they’re not randomly sprinkled across Omicron’s spike. They form three clusters, each altering a small portion of the protein.
