Ultrasound can possibly harm novel Corona viruses: MIT study Kumar Jeetendra | March 18, 2021 Coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, may be vulnerable to ultrasound vibrations, inside the frequencies used in medical diagnostic imaging, according to a study that utilized computer simulations. They found that vibrations between 25 and 100 megahertz triggered the virus shell and spikes to fall and start to rupture within a fraction of a millisecond. The finding, …
Study uncovers immune defense system that shields the lungs from viral diseases Kumar Jeetendra | March 18, 2021 Scientists have discovered a previously unknown arm of the immune defense system that protects the lung from lethal viral infections. Respiratory diseases caused by viruses such as influenza A and SARS-CoV-2 cause harm not only through their own activities, but also from collateral damage as the immune system reacts to combat the infection. A timely …
Study shows how self-swimming microorganisms get by in harsher conditions Kumar Jeetendra | March 18, 2021 Many bacteria swim towards nutrients by rotating the helix-shaped flagella attached to their bodies. As they proceed, the cells may either’run’ in a straight line, or’fall’ by varying the rotational directions of the flagella, inducing their avenues to intentionally alter course. Through a process named’chemotaxis,’ bacteria can decrease their rate of tumbling at higher levels …
