The Corona epidemic - special coverage on the knowledge site

Enalivex reports positive results in a clinical trial of Allocetra for the treatment of corona patients in severe/critical condition

It is possible that the ineffectiveness (of the quarantine) is due to infection at home, but it will certainly require an extension of the quarantine to obtain a satisfactory effect," the researchers note in the report

This is a vaccine based on Jensen's Ebola vaccine. "Four vaccines in clinical trials is an unprecedented achievement by the scientific community made possible by decades of advances in vaccine technology and a coordinated strategic approach between government, industry and academia," said NIAID Director Anthony Fauci.

Scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science and the Institute for Biological Research mapped the protein production profile of the coronavirus and identified 23 new protein sequences. Their findings may help develop drugs, vaccines and better tests for detecting corona*

This is according to a study by a team of researchers from the Hebrew University and Hadassah who recommend vigorous action

Using Australia's National Drug Discovery Centre, researchers from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute have identified ingredients that can block a central protein of the coronavirus, called PLpro. This protein, which is found in all corona viruses, is essential for the virus and allows it to enter human cells, reproduce in them and paralyze their anti-viral mechanism

This is according to a new study conducted by Prof. Mark Last from the Department of Software and Information Systems Engineering at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev * Separately, a study by the Techniva and the University of Haifa states that friendly enforcement will help stop the epidemic

The researchers: Pregnant women should take strict precautions in order not to contract the virus and not to infect their baby. The woman and the baby got relatively mildly ill and were released to their home

Did you know that our immune system consists of two subsystems? One is born, and the other is acquired during our lives. Both together fight invaders (bacteria, viruses, etc.) as much as they can. So why do we need vaccines? Because even these two are not always enough to fight all the troubles

The researchers actually suggest increasing the power of the innate immune system - the first line in the fight against the virus, before the acquired immune system (specific to a particular pathogen) comes into action.
