Anti-viral coating on face masks may kill coronavirus: UK study finds

LONDON : Scientists at the University of Cambridge working with an anti-viral coating technology called DioX believe that it could protect facemask users by killing the deadly coronavirus in as little as an hour.According to ‘The Daily Telegraph’, the invisible coating on facemasks attacks the virus by rapturing its outer layer, effectively eliminating all new mutant variants, including the UK’s so-called Kent variant and the South African variant."The antiviral agent within the coating of the mask kills the virus by breaching its protective outer membrane, which is known as its envelope. Unlike other parts of the virus, the membrane remains the same regardless of any type of mutation.

Vaccine makers face possible strain on supply of key ingredient: lipid molecules

What you need to know about mRNA vaccines Lipids are organic compounds that are insoluble in water. Both vaccines use a blend of lipids to coat and protect pieces of mRNA, which enter the cells of an inoculated person and prompt them to produce proteins that teach the immune system to fight the virus.In theory, lipids should be easy to produce at large scale, because only a small amount is required for each dose, and most are small molecules that are not complex to synthesize, experts who developed the technology told Reuters.
