Experts working in the field of vaccine development tend to believe that an effective vaccine is not likely to be available for the general public before the fall of 2021. A new paper details the results of a recent survey of 28 experts working in vaccinology. Source: Expert opinion: COVID-19 vaccine rollout unlikely before fall […]

The discovery demonstrates a biological mechanism that rapidly responds to severe physiologic stress and potentially serves to protect us from further damage due to life-threatening conditions. Source: Element in blood is […]

New research describes how different cells in the immune system work together, communicate, and – in the case of cells called neutrophils – bring about their own death to help fight off infections. […]

To assess attitudes on human-animal chimeric embryo research, investigators conducted a survey among 430 Americans. The results of the survey found that 82% of people are supportive of at least […]

The blood vessels — made of a metal-polymer conductor membrane that’s flexible and biodegradable — mimic natural blood vessels, were conductive in in vitro experiments, and were able to effectively replace key arteries in rabbits. […]
