Artificial intelligence offers drugs against the corona virus from the protein sequence only

  • No comments
IBM's artificial intelligence model was able to find compounds that bind to different sites on target proteins against the corona disease caused by the covid virus and this without knowing the mechanism of the attachment of the virus to the cell

The research involved collaboration between Israeli and American researchers from the Hebrew University and the University of Pittsburgh, was recently published in the leading journal Nature Communications, and revealed amazing findings regarding the ability of nanoantibodies that come from animals to neutralize the corona virus, on its mutations. In addition, the research may help eradicate diseases similar to Corona in the future

Idea for a double vaccine: inserting the corona protein into a weakened measles virus

  • No comments
American and German researchers came up with an original idea for the development of a vaccine for the corona virus - introducing the "spikes" protein of the corona virus into a weakened measles virus and making the vaccine a double * In the meantime, it has been successfully tested on mice and rats

Shown are areas in different cities where there are at least 30 respondents, or neighborhoods with at least 10 respondents to the questionnaire. Each area is colored according to a category determined according to the average amount of symptoms reported by the respondents in that area. Green - low percentage of symptoms, red - high percentage of symptoms
