COVID-19

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

Everyone wants to hear about the day after the corona, and we are exposed to terrible horror stories about all the troubles that are going to befall us already in the coming year. But no one is also talking about the positive consequences that may be realized thanks to this virus.

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.
