Bioengineered Miniature Human Livers Transplanted Into Rats, Successfully
A collaborative team of researchers from the USA, Japan, China, Brazil, and Argentina had successfully grown the bioengineered organs in lab from reprogrammed human skin cells and also, successfully transplanted functional miniature livers into rats.
Gilead Announced Results from Phase III Trial of Remdesivir
On June 01, 2020, Gilead made and announcement, through a press release, about the results from its phase III SIMPLE trial of remdesivir in human patients.
Adding a Nylon Stocking Really Improves Filtering Efficiency of Homemade Cloth Masks
Researchers claimed that the filtration ability of homemade masks was lower than 30% (in normal) but when they are added with the pantyhose layer, their filtration ability boosts anywhere from 15% to 50%.
Here is the Most Detailed 3D Representation of SARS-COV-2
The coronavirus RNA molecule is one of the largest amongst all RNA viruses at 30,000 'letters' long, which is about twice the size of the influenza A genome, but still 100,000 times smaller than the human genome (over 3 billion 'letters' long).
Yes, Coronavirus is Mutating but You don’t Need to Panic
Researchers have identified 6,822 mutations of SARS-CoV-2 across a global dataset among which 273 mutations have occurred repeatedly and independently.
Another COVID-19 Vaccine Enter in Phase 1/2 of Clinical Trial
The Clinical trial started on May 25, 2020. First volunteer participants are already enrolled. Estimated Primary Completion Date is December 31, 2020, and Estimated Study Completion Date July 31, 2021.
A Prominent Technique to Detect SARS-CoV-2: Real Time RT-PCR(rRT-PCR)
Real-time RT-PCR has risen to become the benchmark technology for the detection and/or comparison of RNA levels for several reasons...
Green Light from Health Canada for the First Clinical trial for Potential COVID-19 Vaccine
On May 16, 2020, the Canadian health agency, Health Canada, has given approved the first Canadian clinical trial for a potential COVID-19. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Saturday (May 16, 2020) that the Canadian Center for Vaccinology at Dalhousie University has been given the green light by the federal health authority to begin clinical trials of the vaccine candidate.
COVID-19: Do Lockdowns Really Can Halt the Spread?
Until a perfect medical solution will not be discovered everyone is suggested to keep enough social distancing and break the chain of transmission. But do lockdown exactly work? To find this a research team Imperial College COVID-19 Response Team studied "Impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to reduce COVID19 mortality and healthcare demand" and published their result on 16 March 2020.
COVID-19: Why it is Taking So Much Time for Designing Drugs?
It has been claimed that the coronavirus has about 30 proteins which are small compared to human cells (humans have more than 20,000). Due to this small number of proteins in a cell, coronavirus can’t reproduce on their own.
COVID-19: Researchers at QCRG are Working Differently
A team at Quantitative Biosciences Institute Coronavirus Research Group (QCRG) is working to understand the plan of coronavirus so they can particularly treat them...
COVID-19: Coronavirus is Replicating in a Peculiar way, Scientist Knows How
Once viruses get inside the cell they use the resources and mechanism of the cell producing thousands of viruses that will eventually lead to the death of the cell. This process is simply hijacking the cell and turning it into a production factory of coronavirus. It has been claimed that the coronavirus has about 30 proteins which is small compared to human cells (humans have more than 20,000). Due to this small number of proteins in a cell coronavirus can’t reproduce on their own and to get around with this limited set of tools and they cleverly turn the human body against itself.
A Possible Candidate to Inhibit SARS-CoV-2 Have Been Identified
Australian Scientists have shown that, in vitro, an anti-parasitic drug already available around the world can kill the virus within 48 hours. Originally...
Genetic Analysis Shows SARS-CoV-2 is not From Laboratory, it's From Nature
Scientists have found more concrete evidence that coronavirus does not come from some artificial source and claimed that it must be from nature. Here is why researchers claimed that coronavirus is from natural sources and debunk that artificial source idea of coronavirus.
