The molecular world is full of surprises, and none more stunning than those occurring among the infinitesimal proteins that drive the activities guarding against viral infections and cancer.
The 'dengue belt' stretches around much of the planet crossing continents, cultures and time zones, a vast region linked by a common fate: a mosquito-borne disease that can be prevented for a select number of people with ...
How does SARS-CoV-2 evade our immune defenses? It's a good question, actually. When SARS-CoV-2 defeats host defenses, we need to know how it does so, and conversely, when host defenses prevail, that also needs to be understood. ...
A large international team of researchers has conducted a study aimed at tracing the transmission rates and the origin of major SARS-CoV-2 strains currently circulating in Brazil. In their paper published in the journal Science, ...
