Most vaccines need to be refrigerated, which makes it difficult and expensive to get them to remote areas where they’re often needed most. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new method for encapsulating vaccines in hydrogels so they can be… Continue reading Hydrogel casing keeps vaccines stable without refrigeration up to 150 °F
Promising results have been published from a Phase 1 human trial testing a novel antibody treatment designed to prevent malaria infection. Almost every volunteer was protected from infection after being deliberately exposed to malaria, indicating the u… Continue reading Antibody to prevent malaria infection aces first human trials
Following recent reports of the first polio case in the United States in almost a decade, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported the virus has been detected in wastewater samples as far back as June. The CDC indicates the polio d… Continue reading Polio detected in wastewater from New York county with only 60% vax rate
A new single-shot rabies vaccine developed by researchers from the University of Oxford is showing promising results following a Phase 1 human clinical trial. Further clinical trials are now underway in the hopes the vaccine could help cut down the tho… Continue reading Oxford’s cheap, single-dose rabies vaccine passes Phase 1 human trials
