BIOSENSOR DETECTION ASSAY FOR ANTI-SARS-COV-2 ANTIBODIES
BIOSENSOR DETECTION ASSAY FOR ANTI-SARS-COV-2 ANTIBODIES Researchers at UCSF and the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub have developed a serological detection assay for anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has spread throughout the world. Early detection of disease using viral detection assays is critical for containing the spread...

ENGINEERED ACE2 RECEPTOR TRAPS TO BLOCK SARS-COV-2 INFECTION
ENGINEERED ACE2 RECEPTOR TRAPS TO BLOCK SARS-COV-2 INFECTION Researchers at UCSF and the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub have developed a set of ACE2 variants which potently block SAR-CoV-2 infection in cells. SARS-CoV-2 is the stain of coronavirus that causes COVID-19. This virus is characterized by spike proteins on its surface, which mediate infection...

DETECTION ASSAY FOR SARS-COV-2 VIRUS
DETECTION ASSAY FOR SARS-COV-2 VIRUS Researchers at UCSF and the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub have developed methods to detect SARS-CoV-2 virus. Clinical laboratory tests and point-of-care tests are needed for screening and diagnosis of individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus. SARS-CoV-2 infection begins with viral Spike protein binding to the human...

Generation of Intestinal Organoids For Therapy or Drug Development
Through a coordinated application of growth factors, Dr. Wells and colleagues have developed a technology to mimic embryonic intestinal development in vitro, resulting in the formation of three dimensional organoid structures. These organoids consist of a polarized, columnar epithelium patterned into villus-like structures and crypt-like proliferative...
