In lab experiments, pralatrexate outperforms remdesivir against SARS-CoV-2. A novel computational drug screening strategy combined with lab experiments suggest that pralatrexate, a chemotherapy medication originally…
In some cases, immune cells in the lungs can contribute to worsening a virus attack. In a new study, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden…
The article by Dr. Gustavo R. Zubieta-Calleja and colleagues in published as open access in Reviews on Recent Clinical Trials, 2020. The current COVID-19 pandemic…
In what has the potential to significantly change how Corona patients are being treated and the severity of the disease, research spearheaded at Jerusalem’s Hebrew…
A new genetic approach can accelerate the study of phage-microbe interactions with implications for health, agriculture, and climate. Scientists are continually searching for new and…
Scientists from Würzburg and the US have charted the first global atlas of direct interactions between SARS-CoV-2 RNA and human host cells. This may provide…
COVID-19 antibodies preferentially target a different part of the virus in mild cases of COVID-19 than they do in severe cases, and wane significantly within…
Simply wearing a mask may not be enough to prevent the spread of COVID-19 without social distancing. In Physics of Fluids, by AIP Publishing, researchers tested…
Preliminary results suggest anti-COVID19 nanobodies may be effective at preventing and diagnosing infections. National Institutes of Health researchers have isolated a set of promising, tiny…
The study, done on a mild-mannered relative of the virus that causes COVID-19, paves the way for seeing more clearly how spike proteins initiate infections,…

Paderborn University investigated COVID-19 transmission mechanisms. The study results could make a significant contribution to combating COVID-19 and have now been published in Advanced Nano-Biomed…
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…
Scientists, policymakers, and healthcare workers are eager to discern to what extent COVID-19 may be seasonal. Understanding this aspect of the disease could guide our…
The drug remdesivir is likely to be a highly effective antiviral against SARS-CoV-2, according to a new study by a team of UK scientists. Writing…
First full results from interim analysis confirm that the Oxford COVID-19 vaccine (AZD1222) has an acceptable safety profile and is efficacious against symptomatic COVID-19 disease,…
Face shields worn alone are not effective against COVID-19 sneezes. Do face shields provide enough protection to the wearers against COVID-19 if they don’t also…
