Researchers develop experimental rapid COVID-19 test using nanoparticle technique

Scientists from the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) developed an experimental diagnostic test for COVID-19 that can visually detect the presence of the virus in 10 minutes. It uses a simple assay containing plasmonic gold nanoparticles to detect a color change when the virus is present. The test does not require the use of any advanced laboratory techniques, such as those commonly used to amplify DNA, for analysis.

Poor indoor ventilation may increase coronavirus spread: Study

According to the researchers, expiratory droplets from people who have coughed or sneezed contain water, salts, and other organic material, along with the virus itself. As the water content from the droplets evaporate, the microscopic matter becomes small and light enough to stay suspended in the air and over time, the concentration of the virus can build up, increasing the risk of infection.

New view on how tissues flow in the embryo

Watching and measuring what happens in tissues inside the human embryo is currently not possible, and it's difficult to do in mammalian models. Because humans and the fruit fly Drosophila share so many biological similarities, researchers tackled this problem by focusing on fruit flies. The team reports today that they can predict when the tissue will begin to rapidly flow just by looking at cell shapes in the tissue.

PGH accepts Lopez Group offer to expand hospital’s COVID-19 testing capacity

The Philippine General Hospital (PGH) has accepted an offer from the Lopez Group to help the state university hospital increase 10 times its capability to test for the virus SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of the dreaded coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Within the month, Lopez-controlled First Gen Corporation and ABS-CBN Corporation will complete an ongoing donation of P46 million worth of new machines and lab equipment that will expand the hospital’s COVID-19 testing capacity from 150 to 1,500 tests per shift.  The donated equipment will allow more automation and increase the volume of testing. Under a newly signed agreement between First Gen and the University of the Philippines (UP), First Gen is allowing PGH through UP the free use of a system of laboratory machines for conducting tests known as reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). PGH is administered by UP, a state university. The RT-PCR test is a two-step process of first extracting the viral genetic material of SARS-CoV-2 from a patient’s…
