Nanobodies may be a promising approach against #SARSCoV2 #COVID19

Today a new Phase 3 vaccine trial, the 5th, started @Novavax nytimes.com/2020/09/24/hea… @katie_thomas @carlzimmer It is smaller than the other 4, but the 1st to have an "alternate" primary endpoint "moderate to severe" infections. Others all include mild. No protocol released yet

Abbott gets EUA for their lateral flow Covid test. This significant entry could help democratize testing, making more tests more available to people in more austere settings that don't have all the trappings found in a medical office; including schools. fda.gov/media/141567/d…

A coronavirus test that costs less than a Big Mac meal has gotten emergency authorization by the FDA. Abbott's 15 minute test - that doesn't need to be sent anywhere - may help the U.S. find its new normal. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @business

Why do cancer cells often resist the effects of #chemotherapy? Researchers have discovered how the loss of a DNA-modifying enzyme allows tumors to resist common drugs by preserving faulty “forks” in the replication of DNA. @scisignal fcld.ly/1j1o9iq Credit: Kharat et al.

So much focus on sensitivity of the test. As though all tests must match up to PCR But could focusing so much on achieving the greatest molecular sensitivity for asymptomatic testing *when testing is infrequent* be doing more harm than good? I’ll explain 1/

Currently, there are no FDA-approved treatments for #COVID19, however, there are over 70 active clinical trials. There is great interest in using master protocols to simultaneously test multiple products to get answers as quickly as possible.
