Research demonstrates potential of local siRNA delivery as COVID antiviral therapy in the lung

Scientists develop a formulation for the pulmonary administration of siRNA. The aim was to suppress the replication of SARS-CoV-2.

The mucosal antibody response to SARS-CoV-2

Researchers determine mucosal SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody levels and their neutralizing effect in pediatric and adult patients.

How effective are household cleaning agents against SARS-CoV-2?

Researchers analyze commonly available household cleaning products to determine the most effective virucidal agent against SARS-CoV-2.

Algal metabolites as novel drugs against viruses

A new review article published in the Journal of Biotechnology has provided information on various nutraceutical metabolites extracted from algae.

Is SARS-CoV-2 a Superantigen?

Since the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), scientists have been conducting extensive studies to understand various aspects of the virus. Researchers have stated that SARS-CoV-2 manifests several biological and clinical consequences of a superantigen

How the timing and dose of different types of passive antibody treatments predict protection from SARS-CoV-2 infection

A new study has focussed on conducting a systematic search of the literature and aggregated data associated with randomized control trials of passive antibody therapy.

Study finds methylene blue is a low-micromolar inhibitor of the the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and ACE2 interaction

A new study has focussed on screening and identification of possible SMIs of this PPI for COVID-19.

Breathlessness and fatigue most common in self reported long-COVID

A new systematic review and meta-analysis posted to the medRxiv* preprint server has focussed on investigating the respiratory outcomes and functional recovery of patients eight weeks post-hospitalization with COVID-19 disease.

Impact of polystyrene microplastic particles on freshwater organisms

Importance of Numb-associated kinases in SARS-CoV-2 infection

A new study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server has focussed on assessing four members of the NAK family that are associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. These kininases could act as a target for the development of effective COVID-19 therapeutics.
