Researchers determine the atomic structure of protein that helps coronavirus to evade immune cells
A team of HIV researchers, cellular biologists, and biophysicists who banded together to support COVID-19 science determined the atomic structure of a coronavirus protein thought to help the pathogen evade and dampen response from human immune cells.
The structural map - which is now published in the journal
PNAS, but has been open-access for the scientific community since August - has laid the groundwork for new antiviral treatments tailored specifically to SARS-CoV-2, and enabled further investigations into how the newly emerged virus ravages the human body.
A new study published online in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society examines the recovery of lung function and overall wellness in individuals who had varying degrees of COVID-19 severity.
Eagle offers enhanced multifunctional inspection systems to help automate production lines
The Eagle Tall PRO XS provides contaminant detection and automatic rejection on lines at line rates in excess of 1000 PM. Pic: Eagle Product Inspection At a time when food manufacturers are looking to do more with less, they are seeking versatile, high performing equipment that can be easily integrated into their increasingly automated lines.
Eagle Product Inspection said it is anticipating future needs with advanced inspection systems and software that perform multiple tasks as part of automated operations.
The newly-enhanced Eagle Tall PRO XS is an example of this capability. A compact machine designed for the x-ray inspection of cans, jars and bottles and suitable for manufacturers with limited line space, the Eagle Tall PRO XS provides contaminant detection and automatic rejection on lines at line rates in excess of 1000 PM.
