COVID in a cat COVID in a cat A new report led by Elizabeth Lennon of the School of Veterinary Medicine and colleagues has confirmed what is believed to be the first published account of the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 in a house cat.
New coronavirus lineage discovered in Ontario deer Penn In the News The New York Times New coronavirus lineage discovered in Ontario deer Roderick Gagne and Eman Anis of the School of Veterinary Medicine co-authored a study about the spread of COVID-19 variants in deer populations. Chewing Gum with GMO could reduce the spread of COVID Penn In the News Scientific American Chewing Gum with GMO could reduce the spread of COVID A team led by Henry Daniell of the School of Dental Medicine used modified lettuce plants to produce a chewing gum that can trap the COVID-19 virus, preventing it from infecting cells in the mouth. SARS-CoV-2 is moving between humans and wildlife around the U.S. Recent research at Penn and elsewhere underscores that SARS-CoV-2 has jumped repeatedly between species during the COVID-19 pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 is moving between humans and wildlife around the U.S. In humans the pandemic is showing signs of ebbing. In white-tailed deer and other wildlife, however, infections appear widespread. Perceptions shaped social behavior during the pandemic Perceptions shaped social behavior during the pandemic Research from Penn psychologists found that Americans who most feared losing their connections continued interacting with others, paradoxically acting in ways that risked prolonging disease-mitigating social restrictions. Philadelphia scientists on quest to develop universal coronavirus vaccine Penn In the News ABC News Philadelphia scientists on quest to develop universal coronavirus vaccine A team led by Drew Weissman of the Perelman School of Medicine is working to develop a universal coronavirus vaccine. "There have been three epidemics with coronavirus in the past 20 years. The problem with chasing variants is by the time you've made a vaccine the variant is gone and a new variant appears," he said. Inspiring people, place, and purpose Inspiring people, place, and purpose Penn President Amy Gutmann’s record tenure of nearly 18 years is the University’s most transformative. New antiviral drug combination is highly effective against SARS-CoV-2 Researchers studied the effects of drug combinations on human respiratory epithelial cells infected with SARS-CoV-2.
