Researchers have developed a molecule that is, when administered nasally, extremely effective in preventing the disease caused by all known variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The molecule can be a key tool in preparing for future pandemics, as it is aimed at preventing both the transmission and spread of the virus.

Hemostasis is vital to prevent excessive blood loss. However, there is an increased risk for thrombosis if there is an excessive reaction and uncontrolled formation of fibrin. In a new study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, a research group from Würzburg led by Bernhard Nieswandt have uncovered platelet glycoprotein GPV as a central regulator for hemostasis and thrombus formation, a finding that opens the way to new therapeutic approaches.
