SARS-CoV-2 uses the SARS-CoV receptor ACE2 for host cell entry.
The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 is primed by TMPRSS2.
Antibodies against SARS-CoV spike may offer some protection against SARS-CoV-2.
Microsoft’s new Windows leader, Panos Panay, is getting ready for a new era of Windows. The first change is a new Windows Insider leader, and we expect to see lots of small and steady improvements to Windows in the coming months.
A team of scientists, led by the University of Bristol, has developed a new photosynthetic protein system enabling an enhanced and more sustainable approach to solar-powered technological devices.
The initiative is part of a broader effort in the field of synthetic biology to use proteins in place of man-made materials which are often scarce, expensive and can be harmful to the environment when the device becomes obsolete.
The aim of the study, published today in Nature Communications, was the development of “chimera” photosynthetic complexes that display poly-chromatic solar energy harvesting.
Company is growing to meet demand, taking extra measures to protect workforce and won’t raise prices, CEO says.
The FDA gave doctors the OK to begin using convalescent plasma donated by COVID-19 survivors to treat critically ill coronavirus patients.

“We should plan ahead,” warned physicist Stephen Hawking who died last March, 2018, and was buried next to Isaac Newton. “If a superior alien civilization sent us a text message saying, ‘We’ll arrive in a few decades,’ would we just reply, ‘OK, call us when you get here, we’ll leave the lights on’? Probably not, but this is more or less what has happened with AI.”
The memorial stone placed on top of Hawking’s grave included his most famous equation describing the entropy of a black hole. “Here Lies What Was Mortal Of Stephen Hawking,” read the words on the stone, which included an image of a black hole.
Using algorithms, scientists can simulate how different nanoparticles interact with the antigen component—and how well they activate the immune system.
