In an in-depth study, NIH researchers consistently found blood vessel damage in the brains of COVID-19 patients but no signs of SARS-CoV-2 infections. Here is…
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.…

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…
