Soumya Shraddhya Paul, Amity University Noida SARS-CoV-2 created a catastrophic impact all around the world as of now there has been a huge demand as well as an urgent need to develop effective vaccines and drugs to counteract the effects of this pandemic worldwide. As of current data i.e., July 5, 2021, around 185 million […]
Monika R, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore Vaccines save millions of lives every year because they are one of the most effective ways of immunization against many infectious diseases. They have played a great role in the worldwide eradication of smallpox and the control of other infectious diseases such as measles, rubella, tetanus, and polio. […]
Kanikah Mehndiratta, MSc, University of Glasgow IgA stimulated neutrophil spider-webs have been explored a lot in the past few years for their antiviral mechanisms. These antibodies in particular are one of the most abundant in the immune system, richly present on mucosal surfaces and involved in the body’s defence mechanism against viral infections. During the […]
Avani Dave, Jai Hind College. It has been more than half a century that the Coronaviruses (CoVs) have been rampantly spreading across the globe. This has led to the current pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, which extends a momentum to be able to characterize the largely expressed protein, the Nucleocapsid (N) protein. This N protein is […]
Souradip Mallick, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela The SARS-CoV-2 virus has mutated very frequently over time that resulted in genetic variation of circulating viral strains throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Viral mutations can enhance virulence as well as transmissibility in humans. It affects the antigen and serology tests due to the inherent design differences of each […]
Saptaparna Dasgupta, Bennett University A recently published new study states that both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine immune system reactions have proved to offer long-lasting protection against COVID-19. mRNA vaccines have created more and better germinal centre B cell responses, thus indicating that the immunity system would be much more impactful and offer long-lasting […]
Vaishnavi Kardale, Bioinformatics Centre, Savitribai Phule Pune University All over the world research is currently focused on the development of a drug that might help cure COVID19. At the moment we do not have any treatment for COVID19. Vaccines are the only way the chain of transmission can be broken. Throughout the pandemic, various drugs […]
Shayan Ahmed, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi The concept of viral infection focuses on the transmission of viral particles from one individual and infecting someone close in contact. Researchers across the globe have created theories to explain the high prevalence of COVID-19 infection from the beginning of the crisis. They discovered that viral particles may […]
Monika R, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a global pandemic of COVID-19 on an unprecedented scale. Coronaviruses may cause acute and chronic respiratory, enteric, and CNS infections. The presence of a large number of asymptomatic/mildly symptomatic patients, effective human-to-human transmission, and immunomodulatory characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 contribute […]
Ananya Ghosal, MAKAUT(WB) In the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, new information is showing us the path of the disease. Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS) is an example of a complication that is also described as a hyper-inflammatory syndrome, where the characteristics are the same as Kawasaki disease. From the publication of CDC, 27 adult cases were reported which […]
