"THE PANDEMIC HAS TAUGHT US THE VALUE OF GLOBAL COLLABORATION AND IMPORTANT ROLE OF SCIENCE AND RESEARCH IN COMBATING SARS-CoV-2."
๐งฌ According to a study published in the Liver Research journal from the institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences in New Delhi unveiled a crucial revelation that SARS-CoV-2 virus ๐ฆ might persist and recur from a concealed reservoir within body cells (the Extracellular Vessicles).
๐นThe study highlighted that individuals who tested negative using traditional RT-PCR techniques exhibited SARS-CoV-2 RNA in their Extracellular Vessicles, indicating the presence of the virus genetic material.
๐นDr. Sukriti Baweja, the lead author of the study, emphasized the importance of exploring alternative diagnostic methods based on this discovery, potentially revolutionizing the detection and management of COVID-19 infections.
๐นThe researchers propose that, even in individuals declared virus-free by conventional tests, the existence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA within Extracellular Vessicles may serve as a potential source for recurring infections. In laboratory settings, infected Extracellular Vessicles have demonstrated the ability to transmit the virus to previously unaffected cells, suggesting an unrecognized transmission route.
๐นThis findings hold promise in addressing challenges associated with COVID-19 diagnosis and management, offering new insights into the virus persistence and transmission dynamics.
