A new clinical assay enables direct blood-based quantification of circulating SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, offering insights into long COVID, immune risk, and spike protein dynamics associated with...

Researchers detected SARS-CoV-2 protein fragments within extracellular vesicles in patients with long COVID, suggesting these vesicles may harbor viral remnants. This potential biomarker could aid...

Engineered extracellular vesicles designed to block SARS-CoV-2 show promising antiviral activity, though effectiveness can vary between variants like...

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged researchers to rapidly understand the capabilities of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and investigate potential therapeutics for...

SARS-CoV-2 viral infection led to the devastating COVID-19 pandemic, where illness stemmed from interactions between virions and recipient host cells resulting in multi-layered pathological consequences...

Extracellular vesicles of endosomal origin, exosomes, mediate intercellular communication by transporting substrates with a variety of functions related to tissue homeostasis and disease. Their diagnostic and therapeutic potential has been recognized for...

COVID-19 is characterized by a wide spectrum of disease severity, whose indicators and underlying mechanisms need to be identified. The role of...

Researchers have created an inhalable COVID-19 vaccine that is shelf stable at room temperature for up to three months, targets the lungs specifically and effectively, and allows for self-administration via an inhaler. The researchers also found that the delivery mechanism ...

In a new study of long COVID published March 13, 2022, in the Annals of Neurology, UC San Francisco researchers identified biomarkers present at...

Inflammatory response following SARS-CoV-2 infection results in substantial increase of amounts of intravascular pro-coagulant extracellular vesicles (EVs) expressing tissue factor (CD142) on their...
