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 …
Scientists test a library of lipid-based compounds to empower safe RNA drug delivery to Lungs Kumar Jeetendra | July 30, 2021 Japan’s Hokkaido University researchers created and tested a collection of lipid-based compounds in order to deliver RNA drugs safely and effectively to the lungs. The findings were published in Materials Horizons. The COVID-19 pandemic response made it all more familiar with RNA vaccines. These vaccines carry genetic code into the cells, which triggers the production …
Researchers move forward in the development of microbial fuel cells Kumar Jeetendra | September 18, 2021 A UCLA-led group of engineers and chemists have taken an important step in the creation of fuel cells made by microbial organisms which is a method that makes use of natural bacteria to pull electrons out of organic material within the water to create electrical currents. A research paper detailing the groundbreaking technology was published …
