Endocannabinoids actively balance neural connections, allowing cells to either activate or inhibit each other. The findings shed light on the role endocannabinoids play in learning and some psychiatric disorders.
Researchers have identified a fully human monoclonal antibody that prevents SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, from infecting cultured cells. The antibody binds to a domain that is conserved in SARS-CoV-2, neutralizing the virus. The findings are an initial step towards developing a fully human antibody to prevent or treat coronavirus.
