Employees of the American University of North Carolina were able to neutralize the coronavirus with the help of special nanotraps, according to Phys.org.
The scientists simulated the particles of the cell envelope to which the COVID pathogen is attached. The virus reacts to false nano-targets and does not affect real cells, which helps slow its spread in the body.
First, this method of treatment was tested on rodents, and then on primates. Nanotraps were delivered to the animals ‘ bodies using inhalers. During the experiments, it was found that LSC baits reduced inflammation and fibrosis in the lungs, as well as accelerated the process of removing the virus from the body. So far, the timing of the trial of the revolutionary method of treatment in humans is not reported.
American scientists recently said that a virus that causes colds can protect a person from the coronavirus.
Meanwhile, a team of researchers from King’s College London reported new symptoms of COVID.
