Pitt develops new COVID-19 nanobody treatment - WPXI Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH — A team of scientists in Pittsburgh may have cracked the code to preventing COVID-19 and curing those who contract the virus.
Yi Shi and his team invented a nanobodies treatment against COVID-19 that is administered through inhalation, which many patients will find easier than shots.
Shi said inhaling the treatment may work better than current COVID-19 vaccines.Recently Shi’s team worked with scientists at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, using their powerful microscopes to see how the nanobodies work against the virus, and they discovered it works in three different ways to neutralize COVID.
