Several studies are looking into the effect of neutralizing the antibody responses raised against SARS-S to gain insight and protection against the new SARS-CoV-2, or COVID-19, infection. This may help lead to the development of a vaccine. #publichealthvt medicalnewstoday.com/articles/resea…

Stem cell transplantation has led to the second person ever being cured of HIV. While this is still a high risk method, it is a step in the right direction. #publichealthvt medicalnewstoday.com/articles/2nd-p…

MIT developed a machine-learning algorithm to identify powerful new antibiotic compounds. They discovered a molecule with strong antibacterial activity and likely low toxicity to human cells called halicin that shows a lot of promise. #publichealthvt sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/…
