A new round of Ph.D. schol­ar­ships has been awarded by the International Olive Council (IOC) to four stu­dents selected within its mem­ber states. The IOC will fund their research work for the next four years. “These schol­ar­ships aim to encour­age tech­nol­ogy trans­fer, and the shar­ing of infor­ma­tion and research results in the field of olive cul­ti­va­tion, olive tech­nol­ogy and stan­dard­iza­tion activ­i­ties among mem­ber coun­tries,” the IOC said. The award­ing process fol­lowed a sim­i­lar announce­ment in 2020 and it is part of the tech­ni­ca...

genetic variants that influence the amount or function of human “helper proteins” that support or facilitate SARS-CoV-2. The gene variants reveal potential target structures for new drugs. The researchers have now published their results in Nature Communications. The team examined 179 proteins known to be involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection for their naturally occurring variants. They discovered 38 targets for existing drugs as well as evidence that certain proteins that interact with the virus influence the immune system.
