    In this paper, the authors use hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to describe how the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein has evolved its structural dynamics features and receptor binding capability from the emergence of the original Wuhan isolate to the recent omicron variant. The findings reported shed light on the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in the human population and the mechanisms of…

    Scientists find evidence that carnosic acid can block SARS-CoV-2 infection and reduce inflammation. February 01, 2022 LA JOLLA, CA—A team co-led by scientists at Scripps Research has found evidence that a compound contained in the medicinal and culinary herb rosemary could be a two-pronged weapon against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The scientists, in experiments described…

    The protein-based vaccine delivers particles that mimic the shape of a whole virus; early tests in mice suggest it also may work against variants of SARS-CoV-2. March 19, 2021 LA JOLLA, CA—Scientists at Scripps Research have created an experimental COVID-19 vaccine that works differently than vaccines currently in use—and may provide some important advantages, according to…

    • Unlike current #COVID19 #vaccines that rely on RNA or viral DNA to instruct cells to create individual #spike proteins, a new protein-based approach developed by @lab_zhu may offer some key advantages with stability and immune response https://t.co/elsykmUeC3 @ScienceAdvances https://t.co/LPGzaSPt38

    Viruses spread between hosts through particles, but within hosts, viral genomes can spread from cell to cell through fusion, evading antiviral defenses and obviating costly infectious virion production1-3. Billions of electromechanically coupled cardiomyocytes (CMs) make myocardium inherently vul…
