Inspired by the role of cell-surface glycoproteins as coreceptors for pathogens, we report the
development of GlycoGrip: a glycopolymer-based lateral flow assay for detecting SARS-CoV …

SARS-CoV-2 is a highly transmissible virus that causes COVID-19 disease. Mechanisms of
viral pathogenesis include excessive inflammation and viral-induced cell death, resulting in …

SARS-CoV-2 causes COVID-19, an infectious disease with symptoms ranging from a mild
cold to severe pneumonia, inflammation, and even death. Although strong inflammatory …

Receptor-ligand interactions play an important role in many biological processes by
triggering specific cellular responses. These interactions are frequently regulated by …

Only a mere fraction of the huge variety of human pathogenic viruses can be targeted by the
currently available spectrum of antiviral drugs. The severe acute respiratory syndrome …

With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing, more contagious SARS-CoV-2 variants, including
