Noted science writer explains why Coronavirus is ‘lab-made’
Noted science writer Nicholas Wade, who has worked with some of the world's most distinguished science magazines and journals, penned an exhaustive article last week explaining why Coronavirus has all the hallmarks of being engineered in a…
New vaccine blocks Covid-19, variants, other Coronaviruses
US researchers have developed a potential new vaccine, which has proven effective against the original SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2 as well as its UK, South Africa and Brazil variants and related bat Coronaviruses that could potentially cause…
Covid jabs won’t raise immunity in organ transplant patients: Study
Patients, who had organ transplants, remain vulnerable to Covid-19 infections even after a second vaccine dose, finds a study that urges people who are immunocompromised to strictly adhere to wearing masks, and maintain physical distancing,…
Why some patients test positive for Covid long after recovery
Some virus RNA can be reverse transcribed and inserted into the human genome, finds a new study, which may explain why some people who had already recovered from Covid-19 would
Exercise linked to improvement in Covid symptoms recovery
Patients with lasting symptoms of Covid-19 who completed a six-week, supervised rehabilitation programme demonstrated significant improvements in exercise capacity, respiratory symptoms, fatigue and cognition, say researchers, including one…
Covid may affect blood vessels, heart health of young adults
Coronavirus infection can likely have a long-term impact on blood vessels and heart health in young and healthy people, even with mild symptoms, according to a study.The finding showed that increased stiffness of arteries was found in young…
Pfizer vaccine linked to fewer asymptomatic infection
The two-dose regimen of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines reduced asymptomatic infection, finds a study.The study, led by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital showed that vaccination reduced the risk of asymptomatic infections by 72 per…
Decoded: How antibodies neutralise Covid infection
US researchers have found how antibodies produced in people who effectively fight off SARS-CoV-2 work to neutralise the part of the virus responsible for causing Covid infection.The team from the University of Texas at Austin analysed blood…
High-intensity exercise generates more aerosols, aids in Covid spread
High-intensity exercise produces more respiratory aerosols that can be harmful and aid in the transmission of Covid-19, and using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) device can effectively filter out the aerosols, finds a…
3D ‘lung-on-a-chip’ model to test new therapies for Covid
A team of researchers has designed a 3D "lung-on-a-chip" model that replicates human alveolar lung tissue to test new therapies for Covid-19 and other lung conditions.The model will help study how Covid viral particles travel through…
