A study conducted at RIDC CEPOF shows that light interacting with free electrons in a metal can traverse nanometric structures far smaller than its wavelength.

A team at HUG-CELL investigated over-90s who were resilient to SARS-CoV-2 and identical twins who had severe COVID-19 with different outcomes, including long COVID. Findings might contribute to the development of new vaccines and treatments.

Researchers at CRID tested the anthelmintic niclosamide on mice and human blood cells. Besides exhibiting antiviral action, the drug deactivated the mechanism underlying cytokine storm. A novel formulation is required for the active principle to reach the lungs.
