Recent studies have shown promising advancements in virus prevention methods. A molecule on extracellular vesicles in semen and saliva can block Zika and dengue viruses. Human surfactant protein A inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infectivity and alleviates lung injury. Silicon spikes designed by a research team can eliminate 96% of virus particles. New materials with nanospikes neutralize 96% of virus cells, aiding in virus prevention.
The spikes rip apart some viruses while preventing others from replicating. Both could help prevent the spread of disease. https://t.co/vFa7MKETBJ
New material neutralizes 96-percent of virus cells using nanospikes This 'smooth' silicon wafer is actually covered in very tiny, virus-slaying needles. Researchers at Australia’s Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) have combined brute force with high tech… https://t.co/quDdZKR6ZP
New bite-protection research has manipulated a readily available natural molecule, cellulose, to create a product that reduced mosquito feeding on the human epidermis by 80 percent. https://t.co/5LJj3msp6y
