Nanoparticle ‘traps’ and immune system create novel COVID-19 treatment – Health Europa
A novel treatment for COVID-19 has been developed using nanoparticles that capture the virus in the body and use the immune system to destroy it.
A team of researchers at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) at the University of Chicago have designed the novel potential treatment which uses “Nanotraps” that attract the virus by mimicking the target cells the virus infects. The virus binds to the Nanotraps, which then separate the virus from other cells and target it for destruction by the immune system.
The researchers say the Nanotrap treatment it could be administered via a nasal spray and could also be used on variants of…
