AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Direct Biologics, LLC announces a rapid acceleration of the investigational use of ExoFlo™ for treatment of COVID-19 as new mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 have been revealed. Published in Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology in August, a recent research collaboration by bioinformatics experts in the United States and Poland suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 viral genome may be binding to specific human microRNA (miRNA) in the manner of an epigenetic "sponge"— essentially inhibiting normal downstream processes and facilitating viral hijacking and/or immune evasion. "These findings are highly interesting and pertinent to our research," states Dr. Vik Sengupta, Chief Medical Officer, "especially since the authors' exomic analysis reveals the depletion of multiple miRNA targets. These data complement our recent findings that ExoFlo contains multiple miRNA that may specifically inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 viral invasion and modulat...
