Frequent Rapid Testing Is The Key To Controlling Covid-19 Transmission In Universities And In Our Communities
Rapid at home tests are becoming less scarce on our pharmacy shelves in recent months due to investment by the Biden Administration but their price is still prohibitive for most Americans to use them in the most effective way.
A New Monoclonal Antibody That Has The Potential To Neutralize All Viral Variants
Here we describe a novel antibody: DH1047. The distinguishing characteristic of this antibody is that it is capable of neutralizing all known variants of interest and concern by targeting highly conserved epitopes.
Hong Kong Demonstrates Effective Use Of Covid Public Health Mitigation
Only 6 out of 4198 participants in the study tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies after three waves of Covid that occurred prior to Hong Kong’s vaccination rollout.
Stem Cell-Derived Neurons Mimic Alzheimer’s Pathogenesis
A team from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School have discovered methods to grow neurons and brain tissue from stem cells that surprisingly, imitate the unique characteristics of donors with Alzheimer’s.
Intramuscular Injection Of Monoclonal Antibodies Simplifies Covid Treatment
Here we review a press release by sotrovimab producers GSK and VIR that details the intramuscular administration of sotrovimab.
Covid Ear: Virus Implicated
You may have heard of “COVID toe,” but what about “COVID ear”?
Detailed Description Of A Highly Potent SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibody: Bamlanivimab
A recent paper by Jones et al. describes bamlanivimab and its properties in detail, as well as details how bamlanivimab was discovered, providing a potential blueprint for antibody discovery in the future.
Stimulating Innate Immunity Stops SARS-CoV-2 Infection
A new study identified an antiviral drug that activates the innate immune system and appears to have strong prophylactic and therapeutic potential in mice. It could both prevent and treat Covid-19 in humans.
Epidemiology Answers Key Questions About Delta Variant Transmissibility And Lethality
A recent study pinpoints, with unprecedented precision, exactly when in the Delta variant disease course infectivity and symptom onset might be expected.
