What bats can teach us about stopping the next pandemic
A new Tulane study says the link between bats and coronaviruses is likely due to a long-shared history, and that their genetic information can help us prevent and manage future pandemics.
Cellular Quality-Control System Identified as a Culprit in Coronavirus Infection
The unfolded protein response plays a key role in how Middle East Respiratory Syndrome damages the lungs. MERS is much less common but much lethal than COVID-19, which is also caused by a coronavirus.
Duke Researchers Receive Grant to Roll Out Next-Generation Coronavirus Vaccine
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has awarded $17.5 million over three years to the Duke Human Vaccine Institute to develop a vaccine that protects against multiple types of coronaviruses and viral variants.
More than 1,000 SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Protein 3D Structures Available
New Brunswick, N.J. (March 3, 2021) – The 3D structures of more than 1,000 SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus proteins are freely available from the RCSB Protein Data Bank headquartered at Rutgers University–New Brunswick. The data bank reached the milestone this week, with 1,018 proteins as…
NAU-TGen study results show COVID-19 virus triggers antibodies from previous coronavirus infections
A collaborative study shows COVID-19 virus triggers antibodies from previous coronavirus infections, such as the common cold. It may also explain how previous exposure could partially account for differences in severity between old vs. young patients
‘Brain fog’ following COVID-19 recovery may indicate PTSD
A new report suggests that lingering “brain fog” and other neurological symptoms after COVID -19 recovery may be due to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), an effect observed in past human coronavirus outbreaks such as SARS and MERS.
Plasmin could be the link between COVID-19 comorbidities and serious illness
COVID-19 comorbidities feature elevated levels of the extracellular protease plasmin. Plasmin is able to nick proteins at furin sites. This can increase viral infectivity, including SARS and MERS — the two coronaviruses that are related to the COVID-19 virus. COVID-19 has a spike protein furin site.
Rutgers Expert Available to Discuss How to Help Free Market Fight Coronavirus
New Brunswick, N.J. (March 25, 2020) – Stephen K. Burley, director of the RCSB Protein Data Bank headquartered at Rutgers University–New Brunswick, is available for interviews on how to help the free market fight the coronavirus. His viewpoint is published in the journal Nature. “Had drug…
