New Research May Be Key to Tackling COVID-19

Researchers from the molecular biology department at The Pennsylvania State University, USA, have come up with an innovative strategy of using a non-functioning synthetic version of SARS-CoV-2 to annihilate the disease-causing alternative. This synthetic version of the COVID-19 virus has been proven to interfere with the growth process of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and could be developed as anti-viral therapy for the disease.
