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

An electronic 96-channel pipette was one of the tools used to scale up and allow the teamto perform over 7,000 parallel experiments that uncovered more than 100 bNAb escapemutations across 15 viral ...

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 ...

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 ...

New research from the University of Kansas shows a "risk gene" linked to higher odds of developing autoimmune diseases such as diabetes or lupus may also provide a survival advantage fighting viral ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...
