Nature spoke to the world’s major research funders to find out how they are adapting their funding policies in response to the pandemic.
As lockdowns force scientists worldwide to put their research on hold, funders are introducing measures to minimize stress.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a series of soluble, stabilized cytokine receptors that could feasibly be injected into COVID-19 patients to help reduce the effects of cytokine storm by binding to excess cytokines.

As many as 15,000 Russian troops trained for a parade with little, if any, social distancing. They are now headed into quarantine.
Two weeks ago, the world was stunned by drone photos and videos of mass burials of COVID-19 victims on an island that is part of the Bronx, in New York City. Last week, renowned photographer George Steinmetz set out to capture his own images, but police seized his drone. And now we have more details of how that went down. “These are humans, and they’re basically being treated like they’re toxic waste, like they’re radioactive,” Steinmetz told Gothamist about the people buried on Hart Island. The island has served as a potter’s field for New York’s unclaimed and anonymous dead since the 19th century.
The Department of Correction, which oversees Hart Island, would not provide an exact number of people buried on the island, but a spokesperson said it was as high as 47 people on a single day.
The US is monitoring intelligence that North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, is in grave danger after a surgery, according to a US official with direct knowledge.
Kim recently missed the celebration of his grandfather’s birthday on April 15, which raised speculation about his well-being. He had been seen four days before that at a government meeting.
Another US official told CNN Monday that the concerns about Kim’s health are credible but the severity is hard to assess.
