August 4, 2020 COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation, and we at NIH are doing everything we can toward the development of diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines. You can find the latest public health information from CDC at www.coronavirus.gov and the latest research information from NIH at https://www.nih.gov/coronavirus. Meanwhile, science continues to progress on many other fronts, and we will continue to try to bring you stories across a wide range of topics. Potent neutralizing antibodies target new regions of coronavirus spike Researchers identified some of the most potent and diverse antibodies discovered to date that neutralize SARS-CoV-2, targeting multiple regions on the viral spike. High blood sugar may blunt benefits of aerobic exercise Mice with high blood sugar levels had lower gains from aerobic exercise than normal mice. The results suggest that diet changes may be needed to get the most from aerobic exercise. Screening drug additives for biological activity A computational screen of more than 600 compounds listed as FDA-approved inactive ingredients found some that may warrant follow-up studies for previously unknown effects.
