Moms create coronavirus solutions for kids: Why they say their PPE face shields are more effective than cloth masks<\/a><\/h4>\n

Little Lives PPE is helping children and adults reenter the world safely amid the coronavirus pandemic. Dr. Gabrielle Page-Wilson and Alexandra Stanton founded Little Lives PPE to not only maintain the physical health of their children, but to also help children and adults alike maintain their mental health through being able to mitigate risk and safely attend school and work during COVID-19. The two founders discuss why face shields are much more effective than cloth masks in protecting the population from coronavirus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A nasal spray that may fend off coronavirus<\/a>\u00a0has been formulated by researchers at the University of California<\/a>, San Francisco, according to a report<\/a>. The researchers are now working to get it clinically tested and manufactured.<\/p>\n

The aerosol spray, called AeroNabs, is an antiviral aimed at preventing\u00a0COVID-19<\/a>, though it is not a cure,\u00a0the researchers stated in a release. <\/a>They added it could be a good weapon against novel coronavirus until a vaccine is found, or a potential alternative for those who don\u2019t respond to a vaccine.<\/p>\n

YOUNG CHILDREN WITH CORONAVIRUS MAY CARRY 10 TO 100 TIMES MORE OF VIRUS THAN ADULTS: STUDY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFar more effective than wearable forms of personal protective equipment, we think of AeroNabs as a molecular form of PPE that could serve as an important stopgap until vaccines provide a more permanent solution to COVID-19,\u201d said Peter Walter, Ph.D., professor of biochemistry and biophysics at UCSF and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, in a press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those who cannot access or don\u2019t respond to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, AeroNabs could be a more permanent line of defense against COVID-19,”\u00a0Walter, who is also the AeroNabs co-inventor, added.<\/p>\n

The scientists stated in the release that they were inspired by nanobodies, which are like antibodies found in llamas and camels.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough they function much like the antibodies found in the human immune system, nanobodies offer a number of unique advantages for effective therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2,\u201d said co-inventor Aashish Manglik, MD, Ph.D., an assistant professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, in a statement.<\/p>\n

The researchers explained that the SARS-CoV-2 relies on spike proteins to infect human cells.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are the essential key that allows the virus to enter our cells,” they said.<\/p>\n

The researchers explained that\u00a0when the coronavirus particle\u2019s\u00a0activate, the spikes receptors become primed to attach to ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) inhibitors that are found in human cells that line the nasal passageway, lungs and airway. Researchers in the field of coronavirus recently told Fox News<\/a>\u00a0that this is the virus\u2019 point of entry.<\/p>\n

The authors explained in the report that they developed \u201csingle-domain antibodies (nanobodies) that potently disrupt the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2 Spike and ACE2.”\u00a0They were able\u00a0to create synthetic nanobodies in a yeast surface and found that the nanobodies bound to the spikes and blocked the ACE2 interaction, thus blocking the virus from invading the host.<\/p>\n

CORONAVIRUS: COULD YOUR BODY ALREADY HAVE CELLS THAT RECOGNIZE AND FIGHT IT?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The investigators explained in the news release that the most potent nanobodies act not only like a sheath surrounding the spike receptors, but also like a “molecular mousetrap, clamping down on spike in its closed, inactive state, which adds an additional layer of protection against the spike\u2013ACE2 interactions that lead to infection.\u201d<\/p>\n

The nanobodies remained a potent SARS-CoV-2 antiviral when tested in an aerosolized form, according to the news release. These mean it could be practical to administer via a shelf-stable inhaler or nasal spray. This\u00a0aerosol form could provide a \u201cpatient-friendly prophylactic and\/or early infection therapeutic agent to stem the worst pandemic in a century,” the researchers said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
