Beware: COVID-19 can infect neurons, damage brain cells
For the study, the team analysed the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to invade human brain organoids (miniature 3D organs grown in the lab from human stem cells).

For the study, the team analysed the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to invade human brain organoids (miniature 3D organs grown in the lab from human stem cells).
Mass vaccination programs have also begun in several countries in an effort to put an end to the pandemic. But WHO says COVID-19 pandemic could be even tougher this year.
Antibodies are an important weapon in the immune system's defence against infections. They bind to the surface structures of bacteria or viruses and prevent their replication.
Decreasing your breathing frequency can increase the process of virus-laden droplets being transported deep into your lungs, and consequently raise your chances of infection, said IIT researchers.
The Covid-19 testing platform can identify the presence of two Covid-19 antibodies, spike S1 protein and receptor-binding domain (RBD), from a very small drop of blood.
To enable rapid COVID-19 testing, the University of Birmingham researchers have developed a new method called "Reverse Transcriptase Free EXPAR (RTF-EXPAR) testing." Read to know more about this new test.
Pregnant women are at a greater risk of severe COVID-19 complications, and even death. Read on to know why pregnant women are more susceptible to infections.
Some people prefer to wear their masks pulled down covering only their mouth and leaving their nose exposed. But the nose is highly vulnerable to COVID-19 infection, say researchers.
Researchers have found coronaviruses closely related to SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, in bats stored in laboratory freezers in Cambodia and Japan.
A new study from Spain has suggested cohabiting with dogs as a strong risk factor for COVID-19 infection. Read on to find out if animals can spread SARS-CoV-2.
Scientists at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have develop a detailed 3D model of SARS-CoV-2, showing both its external appearance and internal structure.
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, rewires the alarm system that cells use to warn others about infection, say US researchers.
