Green tea component aids air filtration technology that can mitigate air-borne infection

New Delhi, December 28, 2022: A newly developed air filter can deactivate the germs ‘self-cleaning’ them out of the system using ingredients commonly found in green tea. Impure air might make our life shorter, to the extent that Indians lose 5-10 years of their lives because of air-borne contaminants leading to respiratory diseases, adversely affecting […]

Scientists develop novel mechanism to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 by blocking their entry to cells & reducing infection ability

New Delhi, July 20, 2022: Researchers have reported the design of a new class of synthetic peptides that can not only block the entry of SARS-CoV-2 virus entry into cells but also clump the virions (virus particles) together, reducing their ability to infect. This novel approach provides an alternative mechanism to render viruses like SARS-CoV-2 […]
