Researchers from the Indiana University released a study involving an 'electroceutical' fabric designed to eliminate the coronavirus upon contact. Imagine using this technology on surfaces in hospitals, offices, schools, homes, and other places. Click the link above to learn more.
Two studies involving testing experimental coronavirus vaccines in monkeys have shown promising results suggestive of immunity and protection against COVID-19. The researchers say that further studies need to be conducted to determine if the same results will be seen in human subjects.
Air pollution has been cleared in California due to the coronavirus causing people to stay at home. Researchers from UCLA say that if the state takes measures on improving the air quality, about 14,000 lives would be saved yearly. Click the link above to learn more.
In a recent study, scientists are finding a connection between Herpes Simplex Type 1 and Alzheimer's disease. Using brain models, they noticed a growth of cells that resembles amyloid plaques, evident in patients with Alzheimer's, when triggered with HSV-1. Click the link above to learn more.
Scientists have discovered an easier and faster way of cloning SARS-CoV-2 with the help of yeast. Experts claim that this is a faster way compared to other conventional ways wherein DNA pieces are stitched together. When time is of the essence, speed and stability are what we need, the researchers say.
Scientists are pointing out that using gas stoves in your household with little to no ventilation is very harmful to your health. They say that the air pollution level it creates would be considered illegal if it were outside the home. Click the link above to learn out more.
