AI Thread Summary
Niclosamide and salinomycin have demonstrated the ability to prevent viral production of SARS-CoV-2 at both low and high doses, while clofazimine was found to be significantly less potent, being 10-fold less effective than the other two drugs. All three compounds effectively inhibited viral replication, suggesting their potential as therapeutic agents against COVID-19. For more detailed information, refer to the open access article on Nature and a more digestible summary available on News Medical.

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
