Biothermodynamics of viruses is among the youngest but most rapidly develo** scientific
disciplines. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it closely followed the results published by …

RNA viruses exhibit a great tendency to mutate. Mutations occur in the parts of the genome
that encode the spike glycoprotein and less often in the rest of the genome. This is why …

Omicron BA. 2.75 may become the next globally dominant strain of COVID-19 in 2022. The
BA. 2.75 sub-variant has acquired more mutations (9) in spike protein and other genes of …

SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the group of RNA viruses with a pronounced tendency to mutate.
Omicron BA. 2.75 is a subvariant believed to be able to suppress the currently dominant BA …

Quantitative physicochemical perspective on life processes has been a great asset, in
bioengineering and biotechnology. The quantitative physicochemical approach can be …

SARS-CoV-2 resembles the ancient mythical creature Hydra. Just like with the Hydra, when
one head is cut, it is followed by appearance of two more heads, suppression of one SARS …

We have developed a mechanistic model of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV infection,
exploring the relationship between the viral diffusion in the mucosa and viral affinity for the …

After adsorption and penetration, a virus hijacks a cell's metabolic machinery and uses it as
a medium for its reproduction and growth through multiplication. Growth is competitive, since …

Cumulative exergy consumption is an innovative method that can help to evaluate different
energy use problems in crop production process. In this study, cumulative exergy approach …

Understanding aging is a key biological goal. Precision gerontology aims to predict how
long individuals will live under different treatment scenarios. Calorie and protein restriction …
