A self-administered ‘scratch-and-sniff’ test for COVID-19 may be around the corner, according to researchers at Penn State, the University of Florida, and Arizona State University.…
The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 docks with its spike protein onto the receptor-ACE2 found on the surface of lung cells. The levels of co-expressed genes with the…
Even though common mask materials block most of the droplets that spread the virus, that may not be enough at close distances. Simply wearing a…
Mini Antibodies Produced by a Llama and Isolated by Neuroscientists Could Prevent COVID-19 Infection
NIH scientists showed that nanobodies isolated from a llama may prevent COVID-19 infections. Infections happen when SARS-CoV-2 virus spike proteins (yellow) latch onto ACE2 receptors…
Important new findings from UM School of Medicine could help guide healthcare clinicians with managing hospitalized patients in the weeks ahead. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients have…

A single protein that appears necessary for the COVID-19 virus to reproduce and spread to other cells is a potential weakness that could be targeted…
Smoke from the growing number of annual wildfires across the western United States and Australia has led to lengthy periods of unhealthy and hazardous air…
New test by ARU professor could cut false negatives and deliver faster results. Results of a unique test developed by a world-renowned expert, which targets…
The Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), an affiliate of City of Hope, has identified a specific genetic target that could help explain the tremendous variation…
The pandemic has impacted farmers, children, plant workers, and even office workers in unique ways that go beyond physical illness. Several studies that explore these…
