Viral Vectors in Vaccine Development: How CDMOs are Driving the Next Generation of Immunizations
Since the discovery of vaccination by Dr. Edward Jenner in the late 18th century, vaccines have played a significant role in saving lives. According to the World Health Organisation, …Maternal Provisioning: How a Mother’s Cellular Contributions Shape Embryo Development and Evolution
Takeaways Maternal provisioning influences early embryo development. mRNA from the mother controls initial growth before the embryo’s genes activate. Variations in maternal mRNA can lead to developmental and evolutionary …This ‘Shape-Shifting’ Antibiotic Could Be the Answer to Multi-Drug Resistant Bacteria Crisis
Antibiotic resistance is a real public health problem of global dimensions. Finding new antibiotics with a different mode of action from existing antibiotics is very complicated. However, it seems …Brain Cancer: Researchers Reprogram Immune Cells to Improve the Effectiveness of Treatment
Radiotherapy changes the behavior of immune cells. In a study on mice, researchers were able to reprogram them to improve the effectiveness of treatment and, consequently, the survival rate. …
