This will allow local enterprises to produce up to 100 million doses of the vaccine annually, said the head of the Australian government, Scott Morrison. The Australian government has signed an agreement with the American pharmaceutical company Moderna, allowing local enterprises to produce up to 100 million doses of coronavirus vaccine annually over the next...

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have reported the first use of coffee waste to create an environmentally friendly electrode coating. Processed sensors are designed for sensitive neurochemical measurements. The results of the work will be presented at a meeting of the American Chemical Society, according to EurekAlert. The scientists found that porous carbon coatings...

It was believed that only highly developed animals such as birds or primates were able to match images and three-dimensional objects. Researchers at Florida Atlantic University have shown that mice are also able to recognize objects that they have previously seen in photographs. The results of the study are published in Scientific Reports. On the...

Physicists, chemists and immunologists at McMaster University have teamed up to modify red blood cells to carry viral agents that can safely trigger the immune system to defend the body against SARS-CoV-2, creating a promising new vaccine delivery vehicle. The new method, described in the journal PLOS ONE, is a completely unique approach to vaccination....

Maria Van Kerkhove, head of the technical group of the WHO Emergency Diseases Unit, confirmed the appearance of the deltacron coronavirus strain in Europe at a briefing. “ It was detected in France, the Netherlands, and Denmark. But a very low level (of infections with this strain) was recorded),” she said. Van Kerkhove added that...

A research team led by the Salk Institute for Biological Research was able to effectively and safely reverse the aging process in middle-aged and older mice by partially returning their cells to a younger state. As organisms age, their cells make different patterns of chemicals in their DNA — called epigenetic markers — than those...

Researchers have developed a new fluorescent label that visualizes how DNA architecture is disrupted in cancer cells. The findings may improve cancer diagnosis. The authors of the new work used a DNA-binding dye that creates high-quality images using super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. My lab is focused on developing microscopy techniques to visualize things that cannot be...
