Many of these efforts
Nanoparticles cloaked in human lung cell membranes and human immune cell membranes can attract and neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 virus in cell culture, causing the virus to lose its ability to hijack host cells and reproduce. The first data describing this new direction for fighting COVID-19 were published on June 17 in the journal Nano Letters.
NBC, which is of course a subsidiary of Kabletown, formerly of GE via The Sheinhardt Wig Company, is bringing back one of its most beloved and meta comedies for an hour-long special. 30 Rock is set to return for a commercial-free, hour-long episode on Thursday, July 16 at 8 p.m. on NBC, according to Variety.
