If the United States ignores COVID-19 in Nigeria, we forgo global genomic surveillance at our own peril, reports a new Northwestern Medicine study

Medication would be taken early in the disease, so you don't get as sick Future drug could also treat common cold CHICAGO --- Scientists are already preparing for a possible next coronavirus pandemic to strike, keeping with the seven-year pattern since 2004. In future-looking research, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine scientists have identified a novel target for a drug to treat SARS-CoV-2 that also could impact a new emerging coronavirus. "God forbid we need this, but we will be ready," said Karla Satchell, professor of microbiology-immunology at Feinberg, who leads an in...

Tiny antibodies naturally generated by llamas can be effective against COVID-19 As the fight against COVID-19 continues, scientists have turned to an unlikely source for a potentially effective treatment: tiny antibodies naturally generated by llamas. While the world has welcomed the news of multiple vaccines against COVID-19, the search for effective treatments for those who contract the virus is ongoing. Now scientists are looking to what might seem to be an unlikely source: the South American llama. Researchers are using the ultrabright X-rays of the Advanced Photon Source (APS), a U.S. De...

Credit: Argonne National Laboratory Six groups that included 17 scientists, engineers and other staff from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory were recipients of the recently announced DOE 2020 Secretary of Energy's Honor Awards. "The Laboratory can be very proud. The number of Argonne researchers who earned this prestigious recognition from DOE, the Secretary's Honor Awards, is more than double that of the previous year," said Argonne Director Paul Kearns. "Congratulations to all the honorees and a special thanks to your research teams for their contributions ...
