Will SARS-CoV-2 escape future drugs by mutating? The answer may be a nuanced ‘no.’

11/08/2020 Health News

Almost as quickly as SARS-CoV-2 turned the world on its head, the spike protein studding its surface became a molecular celebrity. It is the virus’s key to our cells, hence a critical target: Many promising treatments and vaccines aim to unleash antibodies that find and obstruct the spike. But like any other virus, the coronavirus mutates as it propagates, which […]

Detailed molecular workings of a key system in learning and memory formation

10/08/2020 Health News

One of the new realities in biomedical research is that it’s increasingly difficult to use a general approach to score advances. Now, investigations into disease mechanisms, for example, are often conducted at the molecular level by specialists who dedicate years to interrogating a single protein or signaling pathway. One such scientist is biochemist Margaret Stratton at the University of Massachusetts […]
