RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) in Children
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of lower respiratory tract infections. RSV infection is usually mild and self-limiting but symptoms may be severe in young children, the elderly and those with a weak immunity.

New technology developed by the University of Queensland, QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, Monash University, and Queensland Health reported in journal Nature Communications to manipulate viruses synthetically allowing rapid analysis and mapping of new potential virus variants will be ideal to use during a global pandemic such as COVID-19."This technique should give us the ability to answer questions about whether potential virus variants are susceptible to a particular drug or vaccine, even before they emerge in nature," Professor Khromykh said.
This massive experiment mimics the mutations pop up in viruses due to natural selection in a strictly controlled and highly regulated biosecurity laboratory environment with safety using UQ-developed process that copies fragment from the viral genetic material to assemble the functional viral genome in a test tube.

How Do the Aerosols of Coronavirus Cause Hypoxia?
Inhalation of isolated coronavirus particles allows more than 65% of them to reach the deepest region of our lungs and cause low blood oxygen levels (hypoxia).

Stem Cell Therapy Helps Treat Severe COVID-19
Cytokine storm is considered as the reason behind acute respiratory distress in COVID-19 patients. Stem cell therapy improves patient survival by modulating the immune system toward an anti-inflammatory state, finds a new study.
