Small, unique antibody-like proteins known as VNARs—derived from the immune systems of sharks—can prevent the virus that causes COVID-19, its variants, and related coronaviruses from infecting human cells, according to a new study published Dec. 16.

Developing treatments for such animal-borne viruses ahead of time can...
