Pan-vaccine antigen strategy confers protection against cross-clade SARS-CoV-2 variants, including vaccine-resistant Omicron variants
In a recent article published in Science Translational Medicine, researchers developed a novel pan-vaccine antigen (Span)-based subunit vaccine against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Using a mouse model, they also demonstrated that this vaccine formulation...
Bionic Penis Restores Erections in Pigs
Inspired by the natural and unique strain-adaptive properties of a tissue that forms the outer sheath of the mammalian penis, scientists in China have created an artificial penile implant that consists of aligned but...
Study details the “immunometabolic editing” mechanism of tumor evolution
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has discovered that the immune system's surveillance of cancer can itself induce metabolic adaptations in the cells of early-stage tumors that simultaneously promote their growth and equip them to...
Researchers reveal previously unknown properties of T cells
Certain T cells can secrete cytokines that are normally part of the innate immune system, as researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (Leibniz-HKI) and an international research team...
