NewsStudy shows rapid antigen COVID-19 tests done at home are reliable
Researchers report that a rapid antigen test (RAT) for detecting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can be used at home with accuracy comparable to the same test being administered by a health care professional.

NewsNeurological symptoms appear not to be result of SARS-CoV-2 infection of the brain
A new study supports the theory that the neurological symptoms of Covid-19 are the result of inflammation in the rest of the body.

NewsScientists uncover how coronavirus defends itself against our immune system
A research team identifies “protective switches” in the protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

NewsProtein may be the ‘glue’ that helps COVID virus stick
A study found that perlecan LG3 – a protein most commonly found in blood vessels and the brain – readily formed a stable bond with the COVID spike protein and perhaps enhanced the virus’ ability to bind with cells.

NewsInfants born to COVID-infected mums have triple risk of developing respiratory distress
Vaccinating mothers prior to infection significantly reduced the risk for full-term infants developing a breathing disorder that most often strikes premature newborns.
