An emerging strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza has spilled over from wild birds to dairy cows in the state of Nevada ...

Scientists have developed a simulation method incorporating quantum mechanics to model the electronic structure of nearly ...

In response to these challenges, this study introduces a novel quantum-enhanced LSTM (QLSTM) model designed to predict genetic mutations, specifically focusing on viral protein sequences. The QLSTM ...

A new variant of avian influenza affecting dairy cattle in Nevada has a genetic mutation that could make it easier for the ...

Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape -- to become either spheres or larger filaments -- to favor their ability to infect cells depending on environmental conditions, according ...

In order to adapt vaccines to new circulating virus variants as promptly as possible, it is first necessary to find out which among the numerous mutations are actually responsible for the immune ...

A virus originally found in animals, mpox – which causes the disease of the same name – is now circulating in humans. Since ...

The newer variant of avian influenza that recently infected dairy cattle in Nevada has a genetic change that’s thought to ...

Is it common for the flu to zap us twice in the winter months? Massachusetts, and the U.S. for that matter, had a surge in ...

"Two of these mutations occur normally in B cells, but the presence of chronic viral particles that can't be cleared creates ongoing stimulation. The third mutation, linked to the development of ...

To test this idea, scientists studied the genetic sequences of a key element of the virus, hemagglutinin. This glycoprotein allows the pathogen to attach to host cells. Their analysis focused on ...
