Some vaccines aren’t very effective, which is due at least partially to the amount of time that they’re active within the body. A new injectable hydrogel, however, could allow them to act for a longer period of time, making them more potent.Continue Re… Continue reading Gel vaccines may be more effective than currently used liquids
Following a swift independent investigation by the Medicines Health Regulatory Authority (MHRA), large-scale Phase 3 trials for a COVID-19 vaccine developed by scientists at the University of Oxford, are recommencing across the United Kingdom after a s… Continue reading Oxford’s COVID-19 vaccine trial resumes in UK
The COVID-19 vaccine trial conducted by Oxford University and AstraZeneca has been paused, according to a report from Stat News. One participant has fallen ill with an as-yet-unknown illness, and a review board will now investigate whether it’s an adve… Continue reading Oxford COVID-19 vaccine Phase 3 clinical trials put on hold
Novel research, recently presented at the American Chemical Society Fall 2020 virtual meeting, has described the discovery of opioid antibodies produced by the immune system following chronic opioid use. The researchers suggest these antibodies may be … Continue reading Antibodies to opioids discovered in long-term users
During the talk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who’s been promoting vaccine misinformation for years, promoted false and misleading claims about vaccine safety and COVID-19. Continue reading Alec Baldwin Just Did an Hour-Long Instagram Chat with an Anti-Vaccine Activist
Initial human trial results for a promising COVID-19 vaccine have been been published in the journal The Lancet. The vaccine, developed at Oxford University, has so far been found to be safe and induce the two key immune responses needed to protect aga… Continue reading Oxford’s COVID-19 vaccine is safe and induces immune response
Researchers at Harvard have developed a new platform for producing vaccines – and the secret ingredient is blood. The technique involves loading red blood cells with antigens that they can then use to generate a specific immune response, and tests in m… Continue reading New Harvard vaccine technique coats red blood cells in nanoparticles
Hot on the heels of biotech company Moderna’s recent announcement of successful phase 1 trials for its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, two more promising candidates are delivering encouraging early data as several vaccines race into phase 2 human testing.Contin… Continue reading Two more COVID-19 vaccines move towards Phase 2 human trials
