Decoy particles trick coronavirus as it evolves: Emerging therapeutics could overcome drug-resistant variants - Science Daily

Decoy nanoparticles mimic cells, attracting viruses to bind to them rather than infecting healthy cells. Researchers tested the strategy against the novel coronavirus and five of its variants, finding it was consistently effective.

They might look like cells and act like cells. But a new potential COVID-19 treatment is actually a cleverly disguised trickster, which attracts viruses and binds them, rendering them inactive.As the… [+5164 chars]
