The next antiviral breakthrough might not come fro The next antiviral breakthrough might not come from a lab โ€“ but from the sea. ๐ŸŒŠ โŒ

Research studying Baltic cyanobacteria has identified natural compounds that can interfere with how viruses enter human cells. ๐Ÿฆ ๐Ÿงซ

Instead of targeting the virus itself, they target the process of infection. 

Itโ€™s early research, but it raises an interesting question: are we only focusing on one side of the problem? ๐Ÿง
