Fox News
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine said they completed a first-of-its-kind study involving inhaled nanobodies that effectively prevented and treated severe COVID-19 in hamsters.
"By using an inhalation therapy that can be directly administered to the infection site – the respiratory tract and lungs – we can make treatment more efficient," Ui Shi, Ph.D., co-senior author and assistant professor of cell biology at Pitt, said in the news release. "We are very excited and encouraged by our data suggesting that PiN-21 can be highly protected against severe disease and can potentially prevent human-to-human viral transmission."
