In a recent study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, researchers reported that lentiviral pseudovirions pseudotyped with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) glycoprotein can infect cultured ARPE-19 human retinal pigment epithelial cells. The study explores how this infection could be blocked by anti-low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), anti-Caveolin1, anti-Dynamin […]

In a recent pre-print uploaded to the medRxiv server, researchers inoculated 34 healthy volunteers with a pre-Alpha severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) variant to elucidate the immune, viral and inflammatory events associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. The study’s findings revealed the events accompanying the COVID-19 infection cascade in the nasal […]

A mammalian protein previously shown by UT Southwestern microbiologists to inhibit the virus that causes COVID-19 in cell culture also protected live mouse models, significantly limiting infection in the lung cells and diminishing the symptoms. The findings, published in Nature Microbiology, could lead to new strategies to treat COVID-19, which still infects thousands and kills […]

Biofilms are highly resistant communities of bacteria that pose a major challenge in the treatment of infections. While studying biofilm formation in laboratory conditions has been extensively conducted, understanding their development in the complex environment of the human respiratory tract has remained elusive. A team of researchers led by Alexandre Persat at EPFL have now […]

Sticking a swab up your nose might be a thing of the past shortly: American scientists have created a fast-working breath test that identifies traces of the virus that causes COVID-19. The team from Washington University in St Louis, USA, made tiny green breathalysers for use in medical practices. They expanded on previous research that […]
