Ananya Ghosal, MAKAUT(WB) COVID-19 vaccine is still a dream for children under 12. Although children are not at risk of COVID-19 like adults, their reports are still positive. The delta variant and reopening of schools combined and resulted in a keen rise in pediatric COVID-19 cases that is related to the records in the pandemic. […]
Ananya Ghosal, MAKAUT(WB) The increasing rate of the variants of Coronavirus resulting in an outpouring of diseases in the whole world. The mutation occurring in the spike protein of the virion raise the question of vaccine effectiveness and allows greater transmission. Effective inactivation of the virus is required to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and […]
Agrima Bhatt, Rajasthan University The present COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of the world and its inhabitants. However, depending on our status as individuals as well as members of society, the pandemic’s impact and repercussions were perceived at different scales. While some people are starting to adjust to working online, online education and schooling for […]
Saptaparna Dasgupta, Bennett University Determination of the risk factors of COVID-19 has turned out to be crucial in analyzing the constant increase in the number of cases and the following deaths that occurred. Coping up with this disastrous pandemic, dyslipidemia (abnormal fat and lipid levels in blood) has turned out to be a common complication […]
Agrima Bhatt, Rajasthan University The progression of an epidemic comes at a rapid pace for us to be able to understand it. What is more devastating than this progression is the ability of a pathogen to evolve and spread. The reality of it is already heart-breaking as we can see in the current pandemic of […]
Saptaparna Dasgupta, Bennett University SARS-CoV-2, a strain from the Coronavirus family, is responsible for the ongoing global pandemic of COVID-19, taking the lives of millions of people via an infectious respiratory illness. Several studies have been conducted on this virus to find target proteins responsible for the infection as a therapeutic. Thus, spike (S) protein […]
Agrima Bhatt, Rajasthan University In the last few decades, humankind has gone through major healthcare upheavals causing a large amount of death and destruction. Epidemics, pandemics have come, some have passed with time but some have evolved to stay. And as we continue forward, scientists are already predicting the next pandemic to come soon. In […]
Vaishnavi Kardale, Bioinformatics Centre, Savitribai Phule Pune University Many biochemical processes have been described for the detection of antigens. These processes have high specificity, have high reproducibility, and are trustworthy. Several new biochemical processes are being developed with even better sensitivity. However, the downside of biochemical processes is that they are slow and require specialized […]
Saakshi Bangera, DY Patil School of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Despite the improving research methodologies and treatments, COVID-19 continues to spread, causing deaths and morbidity across the world. It has been found that statins can potentially decrease the severity of COVID-19. However, this field has been less researched due to limited size and region-centred studies. Statins […]
