With near-real-time genomic monitoring, researchers catch emergent, treatment-evading SARS-CoV-2 mutations in immunocompromised patients with chronic infections.

Researchers perform a head-to-head test on different disinfection methods using ultraviolet light to reveal the optimal protocol for deactivating coronaviruses.

A novel tissue-profiling approach provides new insights into the mechanisms of fatal COVID-19 by analysing
different molecules and cell populations within organs.

New associations between COVID-19 and immune responses in cancer patients reveal potential inroads to fighting tumours.

Researchers identify an unexpected synergy between bacterial and viral molecules that causes severe inflammation in some patients with COVID-19.

Inactivated COVID-19 vaccines could be an equally potent alternative for people with allergic sensitivities to mRNA-based vaccines.

Researchers unravel a complex inflammatory pathway involved in severe COVID-19 infection and identify a therapeutic mechanism to reverse it.

An analysis of cellular immune responses reveals that mixing COVID-19 vaccines and boosters may offer enhanced protection for at-risk populations.

Booster shots with COVID-19 mRNA outperformed inactivated virus by eliciting stronger antibody responses to the Omicron variant.

Vaccinated people affected by COVID-19 variants have different memory B cell responses than their close contacts who remain healthy.

Molecular simulations uncover a new druggable pocket in SARS-CoV-2’s spike protein which could hold the key to blocking COVID-19 infections.

A*STAR scientists decipher how a stem cell-based treatment stops the uncontrolled inflammation associated with severe COVID-19 cases.
