SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, ignites an immune response to infection, which results in severe lung inflammation.

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, uses its spike protein to recognize the receptor ACE2 on human lung cells, attaching the virus to the cells.

Proteins of highly pathogenic viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19 disease, play a critical role in the body’s immune response to infection, sometimes causing overt inflammation and tissue damage.

Using both commercial reference material and potential clinical samples from the University of Minnesota Medical School, Lions Gift of Sight, and Veterinary Medical Center, a team of researchers led by Declan Schroeder, PhD, will convert a targeted next-generation sequencing approach (that was developed in-house) to sequence SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Looking to improve their understanding of how to engage a dog’s immune system in detecting and destroying cancer cells, researchers at the University of Minnesota recently completed

A group of College of Veterinary Medicine researchers aims to give scientists a more nuanced look at whether past infection by one genetic variant of PRRSV will provide immunity against another.

Five of six horses under anesthesia had significantly greater blood-oxygen levels with a 15-degree table tilt compared to no tilt at all, a recent study from the University of Minnesota shows.

Researchers have discovered what they believe to be the presence of two lymph nodes in the pelvic region of certain dogs that were previously undocumented in the animal.
