Researchers have developed a groundbreaking vaccine that generates two types of immunity against the Epstein-Barr virus, a virus that almost all of us carry and which has been found to be a primary cause of diseases like multiple sclerosis and some can… Continue reading Groundbreaking Epstein-Barr virus vaccine may prevent MS
Caltech scientists have developed a new type of vaccine that works like a hybrid of mRNA and protein nanoparticles. In tests in mice, the prototype produced five times more antibodies than existing COVID-19 vaccines, and could be put to work against a … Continue reading Hybrid mRNA and protein vaccine induce 5x more antibodies in mice
Researchers have designed a new nanoparticle that was shown to more effectively deliver a cancer-fighting mRNA vaccine to mice. The study’s results may lead to the development of better vaccines to treat cancer and infectious diseases like COVID-19.Con… Continue reading New nanoparticle design may improve mRNA vaccine treatments for cancer

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related throat cancer is alarmingly on the rise worldwide, affecting three times as many men as women. Many countries already have vaccination programs in place to protect women from HPV-related cervical cancer; is it time th… Continue reading Calls for men to get their shots with rise in HPV-related throat cancer
Researchers have developed a mobile printer that creates temperature-stable, dissolvable vaccine patches on demand. The novel device not only does away with vaccine injections, but it would also enable vaccines to be delivered to remote areas.Continue … Continue reading Novel mobile printer creates on-demand, dissolvable vaccine patches
If you’ve ever eaten something questionable and then paid for it from both ends for a few days, chances are you’ve had a norovirus. But this common pathogen is surprisingly tricky to treat or prevent. Now, scientists have made progress on a vaccine by … Continue reading Dual vaccine protects against two common food poisoning viruses
Before 2020, you’d be hard-pressed to have found talk of mRNA therapies in the media. And while not a new technology, having been identified in 1961, it was thrown into the spotlight with the lightning-fast rollout of COVID vaccines, heralded as an inc… Continue reading DART VADAR alters the deal for precision RNA-based therapies
They’ve been fired from a gas gun to test their candidacy for panspermia, are believed to have survived the Beresheet lunar probe’s crash-landing on the Moon, can live without water, withstand radiation, survive being frozen and are expected to be one … Continue reading The world’s toughest animal could one day help save your life
