New research from the University of Kansas shows a "risk gene" linked to higher odds of developing autoimmune diseases such ...

Researchers mapped more than 100 mutations that allow diverse HIV-1 strains to evade broadly neutralizing antibodies.

Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) are among the most promising new treatments for HIV, offering the potential to forego traditional daily dose of antiretroviral drugs.

Scientists have developed an innovative antibody platform aimed at tackling one of the greatest challenges in treating rapidly evolving viruses like SARS-CoV-2: their ability to mutate and evade ...

Early in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists predicted the coronavirus would mutate slowly. They were wrong. Hundreds of thousands of viral mutations and multiple seasonal waves later, ...

Researchers have developed EVE-Vax, an AI tool that forecasts viral mutations and designs test proteins to guide next-generation vaccines. The breakthrough could allow scientists to build vaccines ...

This month’s story comes from the Bloom lab using their signature deep mutational scanning technique to identify mutations in the surface protein of Lassa virus -called glycoprotein- that escape ...

During the early stages of a pandemic, viruses tend to evolve in ways that enhance their ability to reproduce and spread, ...

Do you remember the egg shortage of 2024? It wasn’t just a supply chain issue; it was a consequence of the H5N1 avian influenza -or bird flu- sweeping through poultry populations worldwide. While ...
