AnteoTech’s COVID-19 antigen and Flu A&B test distinguishes SARS-Cov-2, flu in under 15 minutes Kumar Jeetendra | August 23, 2020 AnteoTech Ltd has developed proof-of-concept COVID-19 antigen and Flu A&B point-of-care lateral flow tests which could detect the existence of SARS-Cov-2 and influenza in under 15 minutes. The tests utilize AnteoTech’s patented AnteoBind™ activated europium technologies and provide considerably higher sensitivity than that provided by currently available COVID-19 tests. AnteoTech intends for the tests to …
Remedial got from turmeric shows guarantee in treating canine visual condition Kumar Jeetendra | September 5, 2020 Researchers in Texas A&M University have produced a curative derived from turmeric, a spice long-praised because of its natural anti-inflammatory properties, that shows promise in decreasing ocular inflammation in dogs suffering from uveitis, an inflammation of the eye that leads to pain and reduced vision. Uveitis — a frequent condition in dogs, humans, and other …
Designers develop plant-based splash that could be utilized in N95 mask filters Kumar Jeetendra | October 7, 2020 Engineers have invented a way to spray extremely thin wires made of a plant-based material that might be used in N95 mask filters, devices that harvest energy for electricity, and potentially the production of human organs. The procedure involves spraying methylcellulose, a renewable plastic material derived from plant cellulose, on 3D-printed and other objects ranging …
Boosting a characteristic cell cycle could bring down ventilator-related lung damage Kumar Jeetendra | January 12, 2021 An unfortunate truth about the use of mechanical ventilation to save the lives of patients in respiratory distress is that the pressure used to inflate the lungs is very likely to cause further lung damage. In a new study, scientists identified a molecule that’s produced by immune cells during mechanical ventilation to try to decrease …
New gold-nanoparticle probes for target recognizable proof of bioactive small molecules Kumar Jeetendra | February 2, 2021 The development of pharmaceutical treatments is difficult — clinicians and researchers know a certain drug can regulate particular functions, but they may not understand how it actually works. Bioactive small molecules are chemical compounds, such as pharmaceuticals, that can be readily delivered to and interact with a human body’s cells. By binding to specific proteins, …
Researchers develop experimental direct-acting antiviral treatment to treat COVID-19 Kumar Jeetendra | May 18, 2021 An international team of scientists from the Menzies Health Institute Queensland (MHIQ) at Griffith University and from City of Hope, a research and treatment center for cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases in the U.S., have developed an experimental direct-acting antiviral therapy to treat COVID-19. Conventional antivirals reduce symptoms and help people recover earlier. Examples …
Nano-bubbles containing ACE2 protein can hinder contamination from wide strains of SARS-CoV-2 Kumar Jeetendra | January 21, 2022 Northwestern Medicine and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered that natural nano-bubbles containing ACE2 protein (evACE2) were found in the blood of COVID-19 victims. They also discovered that these particles could block infection by broad strains of SARS/CoV-2 virus. Scientists said that the evACE2 acts in the body as a decoy and …
