COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Scientists at Texas A&M University have identified a new variant of the coronavirus. The variant was discovered by researchers at the school’s Global Health Research Complex. It’s called the BV-1 variant because of its origins in the Brazos Valley, scientists said. The case was identified in a saliva sample taken from an off-campus A&M student on March 5, and the student tested positive again on March 25. Scientists said this may indicate the BV-1 variant causes a longer infection in adults age 18-24 than is typical for COVID-19. The student only suffered mild, cold-like symptoms and those symptoms were resolved by April 2. Scientists said this variant is concerning because of its genetic make-up. “We do not at present know the full significance of this v...

An experimental nerve-growing drug could revolutionise the sex lives of prostate cancer sufferers, scientists say. Thousands of men diagnosed with the disease require drastic treatment to remove the organ, which sits in the pelvis and is about the size of a ping pong ball. But it can damage nerves that control blood supply to the penis, leaving patients completely unable to get an erection — even using Viagra. Now researchers believe hope may finally be on the horizon in the form of a drug that enables impotent patients to get erections again.  A study on rats given similar nerve damage found an over-active gene was slowing down the body's own ability to heal damaged nerves.  But a spray-on drug that blocked the gene helped speed it back up in the rodents and brought back their ability to...
