In a recent study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, researchers identified the cellular tropism and transcriptome consequences of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS ...

The lung-cell type that's most susceptible to infection by SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is not the one previously assumed to be most vulnerable. What's more, the virus enters this ...

One to two weeks after contracting COVID, the SARS-CoV-2 virus generally becomes undetectable in the upper respiratory tract. But does that mean that it is no longer present in the body? To find out, ...

A previously overlooked type of immune cell allows SARS-CoV-2 to proliferate, scientists have found. The discovery has important implications for preventing severe COVID-19. The lung-cell type that's ...

Mucosal antigen-specific T cells are pivotal for pathogen clearance and immune modulation in respiratory infections. Dysregulated T cell responses exacerbate coronavirus disease 2019 severity, marked ...

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can damage the heart even without directly infecting the heart tissue, a new study has found. The research specifically looked at damage to the hearts of ...

Approximately 15 to 20 million Americans who have acquired COVID-19 experience persistent symptoms lasting over 3 months (long-COVID). Respiratory symptoms of long-COVID include breathlessness, ...

A newly published study from researchers at Ohio State University has found the recently emerged BA.2.86 variant of SARS-CoV-2 has a greater propensity for infecting certain lung cells than any prior ...

What if scientists could build a realistic model of the human lung, not full-sized, but grown in the lab from living cells? Why would they do this? VIDO scientists based at the University of ...

The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly disrupted our lives and caused millions of deaths, but specialists warn that the next global health crisis could be even more devastating. A new book titled "The ...
