Bee vectoring and COVID reproduction #RAZOR
30m
How can we feed the world without the use of nasty pesticides? One company think they have the answer and bees are going to help them do it. BeeVT or Bee vectoring technology have developed a natural fungicide to treat certain crops. And instead of spreading it with fossil fuel run machines they've got bees on board, harnessing their natural pollination process to deliver targeted crop controls. 🐝
At this stage of the pandemic, we all know that for SARS-CoV-2 to replicate, it needs us. In fact, like all viruses, it hijacks a key part of our cells - known as ribosomes - to make the proteins needed to copy itself. Neil Cairns talks to Nenad Ban and his team from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology to find out more about the mechanisms which SARS-CoV-2 uses to hijack our ribosomes. 🦠
