Amid the rush to develop an effective vaccine against COVID-19, antibody therapy has become a major strategy to ameliorate and treat cases of severe disease. Armed with the capacity to neutralise pathogens and orchestrate the immune system, promising antibody candidates for multiple viral indications, including HIV, continue to emerge. Technology…
Researchers in the US describe how they utilised previously published scientific literature to guide the design of their potential COVID-19 vaccine.
A vaccine currently in Phase I clinical trials was effective at inducing immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 in mice and rhesus macaques.
In a new article, researchers highlight the need for treatments to combat the potentially lethal overreaction of the immune system in the progression of COVID-19.
A MERS vaccine, which uses RNA-based adjuvants, has demonstrated efficacy in non-human primates and is now being developed as a prophylactic for COVID-19.
Engineering antibodies found in a llama, researchers have developed a potential COVID-19 therapy which they say can neutralise SARS-CoV-2.
Professor Saad Shakir explains why cytokine storms occur in COVID-19 patients and suggests potential therapies for the symptoms of the coronavirus.
Researchers comparing the effects of SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV in cynomolgus macaques suggest they could be an effective animal model for testing COVID-19 therapeutics.
At the beginning of March, US President Donald Trump pressed the pharmaceutical industry to “accelerate the development” of vaccines and therapies to contain the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. This article explores what is currently known about COVID-19 and potential treatments that are in the pipeline.
Scripps Research has announced it will screen over 14,000 compounds to see if any present significant activity against COVID-19, for use in a therapeutic.
Researchers have demonstrated how the drug known as remdesivir works, presenting the viral RNA polymerase of coronaviruses as a target for these conditions.
The experimental remdesivir drug has shown efficacy in combatting the MERS virus in rhesus macaques, according to a new US study.
A promising route for tackling the often-fatal MERS-coronavirus (MERS-CoV) has been identified by researchers in Germany.
