Experimental COVID-19 test detects coronavirus in 10 minutes: Study
May 30, 2020 6:23 pm
According to the scientists, the test uses a highly specific molecule attached to gold nanoparticles to detect a particular protein that is part of the genetic sequence unique to the novel coronavirus. When this biosensor binds to the gene sequence, the study said the gold nanoparticles respond by turning the liquid reagent from purple to blue.
Poor indoor ventilation may increase coronavirus spread: Study
May 29, 2020 5:29 pm
According to the researchers, expiratory droplets from people who have coughed or sneezed contain water, salts, and other organic material, along with the virus itself. As the water content from the droplets evaporate, the microscopic matter becomes small and light enough to stay suspended in the air and over time, the concentration of the virus can build up, increasing the risk of infection.
Possible mutations, unusual symptoms among unsolved COVID-19 mysteries: Scientists
May 28, 2020 4:44 pm
One of the key mysteries, related to the development of therapeutics against the novel coronavirus is the rate and significance of the mutations observed in the spike protein on its surface. The researchers found changes in the folded structure of specific regions of the spike protein which they said might impact the interactions of the virus with host cells.
