According to a new <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.csbj.2020.11.016">study</a> led by ƽ���岻�� researchers, clues can be found in the proteins involved in initiating infection, as the virus binds to host cells of different animals. Greater cellular oxidation with aging and sickness may explain why seniors and people with chronic illness get infected more often and more severely.</p> Thu, 03 Dec 2020 13:54:58 +0000 webfull 165807 at /channels /channels/channels/news/plant-science-researcher-recognized-canadian-society-plant-biologists-288428 <p>Congratulations to Professor <strong>Jaswinder Singh</strong>, Plant Science, who received the 2018 Canadian Society of Plant Biologists C.D.
