NEW DELHI : Scientists from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Bhopal have found that drugs used to treat diabetes, obesity and ageing can potentially be used to treat covid-19.
The scientists also said there are similar naturally existing biomolecules that can be also explored in combination for the covid-19 treatment.
Dr Amjad Husain, principal scientist, and chief executive officer, Innovation and Incubation Center for Entrepreneurship (IICE), IISER Bhopal, along with researchers from the University of Arizona, US have recently published a review of the biomolecular relationships among covid-19, ageing, and diabetes.
