    Attenuated Activation of Pulmonary Immune Cells in mRNA-1273 Vaccinated Hamsters after SARS-CoV-2 Infection

    Investigators demonstrated that prime or prime-boost administration of mRNA-1273 in hamsters elicited robust neutralizing antibodies, ameliorated weight loss, suppressed SARS-CoV-2 replication in the airways, and better protected against disease at the highest prime-boost dose.

    Mesenchymal Stem Cells in SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A Hype or Hope

    One therapeutic approach showing a ray of hope to combat COVID-19 infection is MSC therapy. Mesenchymal cells have immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory as well as regenerative properties and various preliminary studies have shown that MSCs can reverse the lung damage and overcome the cytokine storm incited by COVID-19 infection.
