Molecular Methods and Platforms for Infectious Diseases Testing

Molecular assays have considerably improved the field of infectious disease diagnostics, especially with the superior responsiveness and specificity linked by presenting clinical laboratories with accurate and rapidly obtained results. Recent advancements in Molecular Diagnostics and the availability of commercial Nucleic Acid Amplification Techniques (NAATs) based assays have transformed the way researchers perform laboratory diagnosis of…

COVID-19 Treatment and Recovery

COVID-19 is known as a new viral infection. One of the vital biological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 and various other viruses is the ubiquity of spike proteins that enable viruses to penetrate host cells and cause infection. The most significant medical concern is a secondary bacterial strain that manifests during or after a viral infection(s), leading…

How do the COVID-19 tests and molecular tests work?

You probably have heard a lot about both SARS-CoV-2, the virus that caused Covid-19, and tests for COVID-19. Any virus needs a host to replicate and to generate more viral replicas as the virus seizes the host’s cells. The genomic material remains in the body while the virus is still copying and reproducing for the…

What Are Different Types of Interleukin and Their Functions?

WHAT ARE INTERLEUKINS? Interleukin is a sort of cytokine, which plays a critical role in immunological homeostasis and classification; it was discovered initially from leukocytes. Interleukins (IL) are cytokines that were first expressed by leukocytes alone but later produced by several different parts of body cells. Many cells currently generate it, including lymphocytic cells and…
