New approach for developing a coronavirus vaccine via nasal muscoa
The vaccine against COVID-19 is designed to enter the cells via the same route as the virus - and thereby activate the immune system.
Artificial Intelligence speeds up screening for COVID-19 in ERs
A new algorithm reduces the need for standard coronatests in hospitals and increases the efficiency of care.
Scientists are confident that SARS-CoV-2 vaccines will be available as early as the end of 2020
The German Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI) is confident that a vaccine against the novel SARS CoV-2 coronavirus could be available by the end of 2020.
The Corona chart: the pandemic thunders back into Europe, at full speed
The summer corona wave now threatens almost every country in Europe. August promises to become a covid-intensive month.
Quick test can detect antibodies to coronavirus in quarter of an hour
According to the German scientists, the handy device based on graphene oxide can be used in practice as early as the beginning of next year.
Study: existing tuberculosis vaccine is safe, stimulates the immune system, and may also be effective against COVID-19
The data show "a cautiously positive picture", with a lower number of patients among the vaccinated group, as well as less fatigue symptoms.
UMC Groningen researcher investigates the presence of virus particles in aerosols
With a microbiological air sampler, the researcher can measure the air in the room after someone has talked, coughed or sneezed
The SARS-CoV-2 giant you can touch: 3D printing makes it possible
The aim of the scientists is not only to make the SARS-CoV-2 virus made understandable for non-scientists in a playful way and also bundles international research results.
The Corona map: COVID-19 returns from vacation while countries are still recovering
Data journalist Jelmer Visser closely follows the developments surrounding the coronavirus. Are we seeing exponential growth again today?
Intravacc goes ahead with production of protein-based Covid-19 vaccine
"Together, we have an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of patients at this time of great need."
The body’s own immune protein prevents Sars-Cov-2 from triggering infection

The second corona wave emerges in Europe
Is the second corona wave as bad as the first or is Europe managing to limit its impact with smart measures? Data journalist Jelmer Visser continues to follow developments closely.
People in poor countries have less to eat due to corona measures
The availability of fresh foods such as vegetables, dairy and fish that are the key to a healthy diet is decreasing.
Dutch University hospital Radboudumc finds genetic mutation as a reason for lack of defense against corona

[Update] This is how the SARS-CoV-2 virus spreads through indoor air
The outbreak of COVID-19 among employees of a large German meat processor was not due to their cramped poor housing conditions, but due to the environmental conditions in the abattoir.
Dutch government dragging its feet in making face masks mandatory
Measures such as washing your hands, wearing a face mask and social distancing can contribute significantly to preventing the spread of corona.
This is how SARS-CoV-2 shuts down our immune system
Researchers from Munich and Ulm have shown how the novel coronavirus suppresses the immune response by disabling protein expression in the ribosomes.
Should the Netherlands be prepared for a 2nd corona wave?
The summer holidays have definitively begun. Something we have been looking forward to after an eventful six months. But the coronavirus has not taken a vacation at all.
