Russian Scientists Investigate the Immune Response to COVID Variations (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Trace, Kappa and Lambda)

The continuing development of new SARS-CoV-2 mutations allows the virus to spread more effectively and also avert antibodies. However, it is unclear whether brand-new strains can escape T-cell immunity - one of the body's main lines of protection against COVID-19.The development of a T-cell immune reaction is significantly governed by genetic factors, consisting of...

Protein “Big Bang” Reveals Molecular Makeup for Medicine as well as Bioengineering Applications

Research by Gustavo Caetano-Anollés and Fayez Aziz, University of Illinois, reveals a “big bang” during evolution of protein subunits known as domains. The team looked for protein relationships and domain recruitment into proteins over 3.8 billion years across all taxonomic units. Their results could have implications for vaccine development and disease management. Credit: Fred...
