• Influenza evolution patterns change with time, complicating vaccine design

  By Ralph Turchiano on October 8, 2019 • ( 0 )

  Skoltech scientists discovered new patterns in the evolution of the influenza virus. This may help predict mutations in the viral genome and ultimately help design better vaccines. Research results were published in a top scientific journal PNAS. Source: Influenza evolution… Read More ›

• Environmental toxins impair immune system over multiple generations

  Bone, not adrenaline, drives fight or flight response Bone, not adrenaline, drives fight or flight response A new study from Columbia researchers suggests that bony vertebrates can’t muster this response to danger without the skeleton. The researchers found in mice… Read More ›

• Mutant live attenuated Ebola virus immunizes non-human primates

  By Ralph Turchiano on September 17, 2019 • ( 0 )

  Inoculation with an Ebola virus that has mutations in a protein called VP35 does not cause disease and elicits protection in monkeys, researchers show Sept. 17, 2019 in the journal Cell Reports. The findings suggest that the immune-evasion function of… Read More ›
