Back Cover: Detection, prevention and treatment of COVID-19 and opportunities for nanobiotechnology (View 4/2022)

ABSTRACT

In article number 20200181, Chuanbin Mao, Mingying Yang and their co-wokers have demonstrated that nanobiotechnology holds promise for combating COVID-19. It provides nanoscale probes to detect COVID-19, nanoscale vaccines to prevent COVID-19, and nanoscale therapeutics to treat COVID-19. Because nanoparticles are comparable to the virus particles that cause COVID-19, the nanoparticles can be engineered to detect, prevent or treat COVID-19 in a more efficient manner than the other agents.
