Analysis of one million SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences has revealed a new variant named T478K, spreading mostly in Mexico.
Antibodies produced by B cells against the H1N1 influenza virus can also neutralise other strains, which could be used to developed vaccines.
A new method named scifi-RNA-seq marks the RNA of cells with specific barcodes, enabling the sequencing of many cells at the same time.
A new DNA vaccine encoding the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein has shown promise at protecting mice and hamsters against COVID-19.
Researchers have discovered a cross-reactive coronavirus antibody that could aid in the development of a broad-acting vaccine or treatment.
Scientists have shown that trapped LC3B protein in brain cells enables Parkinson's disease to spread, presenting a drug target.
Researchers have shown that inhalable nanobodies at ultra-low doses can effectively neutralise SARS-CoV-2 in hamsters.
