-Raddur Samaddar, Team bioXone While the world is waiting for a COVID-19 vaccine with absolute eagerness, the closest promising immunological treatment that can help stop the rate of the ever-increasing spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is the Convalescent Plasma Therapy. This treatment relies upon the transfusion of the anti-viral antibodies from donors to recipients with […]
-Husna, Amity University Kolkata The loss in sense of smell and taste experienced most commonly due to viral fever is termed as Anosmia. Millions of olfactory receptor cells are present in our nasal cavity. These cells captures molecules with specific odour and activate a nerve response which then carries the signal to the brain where […]
Sashreek Ganguly, Amity University Kolkata There is enormous evidence that inhalation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) acts as a major transmission route for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It is quintessential to discuss the various routes of viral transmission and ensure efficiency and consistency in guidelines provided to the public. To do this, […]
