FDA approves remdesivir to treat COVID-19 It’s the first full approval for a drug treating the disease The Food and Drug Administration  approved  remdesivir to treat COVID-19 in hospitalized patients. The drug, manufactured by the pharmaceutical company Gilead, is the first approved COVID-19 treatment in the United States. Remdesivir, now marketed under the brand name Veklury, was authorized for emergency use by the FDA  in May . That emergency authorization indicated that the FDA thought the benefits of using the drug outweighed the risks, even though there was no clear evidence showing that it helped patients with COVID-19 at the time. “The FDA is committed to expediting the development and availability of COVID-19 treatments during this unprecedented public health emergency,” said FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn  in a statement . The drug works by preventing viruses from making copies of themselves. It was first developed by Gilead to treat Ebola, and research over...

The diabolical ironclad beetle can survive getting run over by a car. Scientists now know how. The diabolical ironclad beetle, a desert bug native to California, can withstand nearly 40,000 times its body weight. That means it can be run over by a car — and live to tell the tale.  A study published Wednesday in the journal Nature has pinpointed the factor that makes it so durable: Its exoskeleton, and in particular, its elytra, or the forewings that cover the beetle's wings. "The ironclad is a terrestrial beetle, so it's not lightweight and fast but built more like a little tank," David Kisailus, the principal investigator and a materials science and engineering professor at the University of California, Irvine, said in a statement. "It can't fly away, so it just stays put and lets its specially designed armor take the abuse until the predator gives up." Cicadas and Palo Verde beetles? Harmless.  But these Arizona bugs and reptiles can hurt you. In beetl...
