A team of researchers affiliated with multiple institutions in the U.S. has found that reciprocal repulsions of cell-surface molecules prevent tangling in parallel hippocampal networks. In their paper published in the journal ...
Many big pharma companies were able to roll out vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 in record time by retooling their existing experimental mRNA gene therapies to carry a new payload. Whereas these cancer vaccines originally coded ...
Scientists in Australia have developed a method for the rapid synthesis of safe vaccines, an approach that can be used to test vaccine strategies against novel pandemic pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes ...
