Viral infections remain a significant global health challenge, as exemplified by recent pandemics. The complexity of virus-host interplay poses major ...

Cellular Innate immunity acts as the body's initial defense against pathogens, including viruses. It represents an evolutionarily ancient system, providing rapid but nonspecific responses to a wide ...

Stanford Medicine researchers have developed an intranasal liposomal vaccine that protected mice against SARS-CoV-2, ...

A vaccine usually trains your immune system to recognize one target. Here, the target is basically “anything that doesn’t ...

Viruses are masters of stealth. From the moment a virus enters the host's body, it begins hijacking its cells. First, the virus binds to a specific protein on the cell's surface through a lock-and-key ...

Stanford Medicine researchers have developed an experimental nasal spray vaccine that protected mice against SARS‑CoV‑2, ...

Secondary infections caused by bacteria or viruses during hospital care remain a long-standing global challenge, despite ...

Very early in the COVID-19 pandemic clinical trials in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 confirmed that corticosteroids like dexamethasone reduced mortality, but they were harmful when applied at ...

A section of Goodsell et al.’s magnificent “Integrative illustration for coronavirus outreach” highlighting the packaging of the viral genetic material (in pink) by the scaffold “nucleocapsid protein” ...

When a cell is invaded by a virus, the cell triggers an innate immune response by activating retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) like receptors (RLRs), among others, that are essential for ...
