Study Reveals Ultraviolet Light Exposure Has Antiviral Effects on COVID-19 Variants (July 2,2024)
quote:
New research from Cedars-Sinai, recently published in the peer-reviewed journal Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy, found that narrow-band ultraviolet A (UVA) exposure has antiviral effects on several major variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
When an infected cell was exposed to UVA, it was activated into an antiviral state, allowing it to fight back against the virus and suppress the pathway that allows the virus to replicate. Additionally, researchers found the dose level used in their study was tolerated well by cells, and there was no indication that the UVA light was causing harm to the cells themselves.
Rezaie and Leite said that the next steps are to develop more efficient UVA delivery systems inside the body in preparation of clinical trials.

A boss said to his secretary, "I want to have sex with you, but I will make it very fast. I'll throw $1,000 on the floor and by the time you bend down to pick it up, I'll be done." She thought for a moment then called her boyfriend and told him the story. Her boyfriend said, "Do it but ask him for $2,000. Then pick up the money so fast, he won't even have enough time to undress himself." She agrees. After half an hour passes, the boyfriend calls the girlfriend and asks, "So what happened?" She responds, "The bastard used coins, so I'm still picking it up and he is still having sex with me!"
