Mitochondria are known as energy suppliers for our cells, but they also play an important role in the defense against pathogens. They can initiate immune responses, and deprive pathogens of the nutrients they need to grow.

New research assesses the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation in response to SARS-CoV-2 and its spike protein, and the effects of this exposure in the presence of a-synuclein protein aggregate fibrils.

Stress can have a negative effect on anyone's health but presents particular challenges for people with Parkinson's disease.

Researchers test the durability of antibodies produced by a vaccine-induced full-length SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and receptor-binding domain.

In a new study, researchers used cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) analysis to capture the open and closed states of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant’s spike protein.

In a new study, researchers assessed the sera from COVID-19 infected and vaccinated individuals against the receptor-binding domain in the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 wildtype virus and its variants.

Researchers examine the effects of disease-modifying therapies implemented for treating multiple sclerosis on the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

To better understand how the disease progresses, a recent paper in the journal Frontiers in Medicine discusses the role of the human microbiota in this condition.

A recent review paper in the journal Frontiers in Physiology discusses the role of leptins in infection with SARS-CoV-2 that triggered the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

A new study published in the Journal of Natural Products of the American Chemical Society and American Society of Pharmacognosy has shown that isolated cannabinoids or those in hemp extracts have the potential to prevent and treat the infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) – primarily by blocking viral cell entry.
