Bioresearch at Mt. Sinai Identifies 53 Ebola-blocking Drugs

Posted by Robert Larkin on Mon, Dec 29, 2014

Ebola-stricken areas in West Africa may have renewed hope in the form of researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, NY, and the National Institutes of Health. According to a study published on December 17, 2014, and headed by Dr. Adolfo Garcia-Sastre, researchers have identified 53 drugs with the potential to block Ebola virus-like particles from entering human cells, a key step in the process of infection. With death tolls on the rise in West Africa, researchers are encouraged to have some promising leads in the investigation into possible treatments for this lethal and rapidly spreading menace.
