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

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 binding mechanism of the virus

A cocktail of nano-antibodies produced from the Lemma animal was able to stop the delta variant very effectively

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 derived from animals to neutralize

Rapid detection of the British and South African corona mutations

Researchers from Ben Gurion University of the Negev have developed a method to identify British and South African corona mutations within hours instead of several days

Turn on the light and kill the corona virus

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have proven that the corona virus can be killed efficiently, quickly and at low cost - using light emitting diodes (LED) in the ultraviolet (UV) range

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

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

Israeli research: those dealing with attention and concentration disorders will recover faster from Corona

Researchers from the Hebrew University, the Technion, and the Western Galilee Academic College, and the Netanya Academic College found that children and adults, who suffer from ADHD, may recover faster from COVID-19 compared to the general population, and link this to "evolutionary advantages".

Israeli scientists have identified 23 new protein sequences in Corona * 3M contributed to the development of a vaccine at Tel Aviv University

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 detection tests

Identifying a trap and finding the ultimate anti-coronavirus

Regional map of average symptoms characterizing COVID-19. 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
