BENGALURU: With the rise in viral infection cases, the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) is conducting weekly ...

The coronavirus' constant mutation is unlikely to have changes its potency or its contagiousness, disease experts say, despite recent research suggesting the emergence of a more virulent strain. A pre ...

MOSCOW, January 29. /TASS/. The emergence of the new NeoCov coronavirus is caused by constant virus mutations, the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology of Russia’s Health ...

Germinal centers are high-speed evolution machines. Tiny clusters in the lymph nodes, germinal centers refine antibodies through mutation and expansion until they produce high-affinity B cells adapted ...

This release is available in German. Genetic diversity arises through the interplay of mutation, selection and genetic drift. In most scientific models, mutants have a fitness value which remains ...

External factors like the Sun and smoking can harm your DNA by causing mutations, a process that occurs in spurts and bursts. But this process isn't limited to environmental triggers: As cells grow ...

Germinal centers are high-speed evolution machines. Tiny clusters in the lymph nodes, germinal centers refine antibodies through mutation and expansion until they produce high-affinity B cells adapted ...

A team of scientists from Portugal has recently estimated the rate of mutation in two circulating variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) using experimental evolution ...

New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without introducing deleterious mutations. Germinal centers are high-speed evolution ...
