Researchers have long been striving to identify antibodies that can combat pathogenic microorganisms. However, traditional methods of antibody discovery require substantial time and effort and often fail to identify the most effective antibodies. In recent years, the advancement of single-cell sequencing technologies has offered a new possibility for the screening of antibodies.What is ...
Goal Understanding of Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) of interest using whole-genome sequence data from NCBI Solution Loci helps the scientists to understand the Coronavirus at the molecular level with a few click ...
The following article is a repost of an interview that originally appeared in OR Today “Spotlight On: John W. Cromwell, MD” with Caresyntax customer, John Cromwell, MD, FACS, associate chief medical officer and director of surgical quality and safety at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. ...
In the ever-evolving realm of biotechnology, the astonishing advancements in mRNA (messenger RNAs) synthesis are poised to revolutionize various aspects of biological research. This article delineates the eclectic vistas opened up by custom mRNA synthesis services that provide bespoke, high-quality solutions for researchers globally. mRNA synthesis, an integral element of our genetic machinery, ...
Introduction to Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction A highly delicate technique for the amplification and identification of deoxyribonucleic acid is polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In molecular biology, its conceptual simplification has made it the most utilized method and can, in theory, identify as little as a single segment of DNA. Therefore, for a huge variety of bacterial, fungal, viral, ...
SARS-CoV-2 is a newly discovered human coronavirus group (HCoV), which are single-stranded RNA viruses belonging to the family of Coronaviridae. A range of respiratory diseases have been induced by some of these pathogens in the past. SARS-CoV-1 infected more than 8,000 individuals around the world, for example. Human coronavirus linked to Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) also occurred ...
Detector dogs have been used for centuries to detect drugs, explosives and bodies. More recently their superior scent detection capabilities have been used in a wide range of fields from bed bug detection in hotels, to SIM cards and hard drives and even to detect cancer 1. A recent preliminary study carried out by a team of scientists in Germany has found encouraging results suggesting ...
Natural zeolites are known to bind various bacteria and viruses. Researchers hypothesised that clinoptilolite can also bind members of the Coronaviridae family. Results showed that the addition of 0.01% PCT purified clinoptilolite to a HCoV-229E suspension containing 16,000 PFU per ml resulted in an 87% reduction of the virus concentration. Results suggest that purified clinoptilolite in a ...
The coronavirus pandemic that could have been prevented After creating widespread global devastation and panic, the origin of the coronavirus pandemic has largely remained a mystery. Now, new information has emerged that reinforces a claim that it somehow began spreading in Wuhan, China. Citing a classified intelligence report provided to the White ...
The very contagious illness, known as the stomach bug, is on the rise. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released data that confirms norovirus cases have seen a nationwide increase, outpacing last year’s numbers so far. The CDC reports that more than 15% of weekly tests for norovirus have come back positive, which is unusually ...
At the end of the year 2019, a cluster of severe pneumonia of unknown cause was described in Wuhan (Eastern China) and a SARS-like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was noted in these patients. Early in January 2020, sequencing revealed a novel coronavirus (now termed SARS-CoV-2) as the causal factor for the disease designated as COVID-19. The pandemic caused by the virus has unforeseen ...

Vero cellsare a continuous adherent cell line that is frequently used in cell culture and plays an important role in worldwide vaccine and vector production (manufacturing). Unlike other mammalian cells, they do not secrete interferon alpha or beta when infected by viruses – this is one of the reasons that efficient replication of many viruses can be achieved in Vero cells, ...

We plan to develop sublingual interferon-alfa for the prevention of viral infections, such as influenza and coronaviruses (such as COVID-19). The rise in prevalence of viral respiratory infections in humans and increase in health care expenditure are projected to boost the growth of the global respiratory antiviral treatment market. Respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus, parainfluenza ...
Summary The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic began in 2019 and rapidly scaled to a global presence of disease known as COVID-19. Despite the relatively fast implementation of testing and vaccination worldwide, the rise of emerging viral variants and breakthrough infections raises concerns that SARS-CoV-2 will continue to pose a global health threat. ...
The start of coronavirus pandemic pushed limits of healthcare systems all over the world by causing thousands of deaths and the requirement of a huge quantity of healthcare resources. When WHO declared COVID19 as a pandemic, the whole world came to standstill. Half of the world population is confined to their home except for essential services. In the year 2016, when GOI announced ...
A new structural target for drug development against COVID-19 has been unveiled today by Sibylla Biotech in collaboration with the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN), the University of Trento and University of Perugia.The breakthrough drug discovery strategy pioneered by Sibylla in this study would not only promise to reduce the risk of drug resistance and harmful side effects, ...
According to the latest IDF Diabetes map, the global prevalence of diabetes reached 10.5% in 2021, with 537 million adults living with diabetes. China has become a disaster zone for diabetes, with the largest number of adults with diabetes in the world. In the past 10 years (2011-2021), the number of people with diabetes in China increased from 90 million to 140 million, an increase of 56%. The ...
Currently, the incidence of infectious diseases has increased globally, and the pathogens show a trend of diversification and complexity. Rapid and accurate pathogenic diagnosis, which enables early selection of sensitive anti-infective drugs or effective and targeted preventive and control measures, is the core of accurate prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. The epidemic of ...
While the world continues to endure loss and hardship due to the outbreak of COVID-19, caused by a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), researchers are scrambling to provide test kits that are accurate, fast, sensitive, and widely available, especially as symptoms vary broadly and may not appear for days if at all. To this end, several diagnostic methods have been ...
Spring is fast approaching, and coronavirus restrictions are being lifted all over the northern hemisphere. Are we ready to loosen up protection? Is there hope the virus will die in summer? With time flying unnoticed, we are already into our third summer with coronavirus being part of our lives. As of today, almost 500 million people worldwide have been in contact with SARS-CoV-2. These, of ...
