In cells, extracts from seaweed outdo remdesivir against virus – The Indian Express
The research, published online in Cell Discovery, was done by researchers at the Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies at Rensselear Polytechnic Institute, US.
With each compound, the researchers performed a dose response study on mammalian cells.In a study in mammalian cells, an extract from edible seaweeds was found to outperform remdesivir, in effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19. Heparin, a common blood thinner, and a heparin variant stripped of its anticoagulant properties, performed on par with remdesivir in inhibiting the virus.
