Cyclodextrins as antivirals? Why not?
Caroline Tapparel Vu, Francesco Stellacci and colleagues from EPFL and University of Geneva created a groundbreaking molecule, CD-SA, that mimics flu virus receptors to fight off multiple influenza strains effectively! 🦠💥 Our studies show CD-SA outperforms existing treatments like Oseltamivir, offering a new hope against flu with fewer chances of resistance when coupled with IFN λ1. Exciting results from lab to mice models prove its potent antiviral powers! 🚀🔬
