Understanding structure and functions of key viral proteins can help develop anti-viral therapeutics

According to the team, current COVID-19 treatments simply manage symptoms while the body fights off the infection with its immune defence system. There are, as yet, no confirmed antiviral drugs that can stop the virus from replicating.

Study: Repeated vape aerosol exposure causes minimal lung damage compared to combustible cigarettes In one of the most advanced applications of in-vitro 3D human lung models in vape research to date, a new peer-reviewed Imperial Brands study shows that, unlike combustible cigarette smoke, blu aerosol had little to no impact on numerous toxicological endpoints under the conditions of test using laboratory models. Published in the journal Current Research in Toxicology, the experiments compared ...
