Vaccine Design and Testing – News and Features

News
Controlled Kill Switches Improve TB Vaccine Safety
Researchers have engineered two mycobacterial strains with built-in kill switches that trigger self-destruction after immune activation. These strains enhance the safety of high-dose intravenous BCG vaccines.

News
Cancer Vaccine Improves Antigen Visibility in Tumors
Researchers developed a cancer vaccine that uses tumor lysate to enhance immune recognition of solid tumors. The vaccine successfully targets melanoma, breast, lung and ovarian cancers in animal models.

News
Myocarditis Differs Depending On the Cause
A group of Berlin researchers in collaboration with international scientists have found differences in heart inflammation caused by COVID-19, anti-COVID-19 vaccination, and non-COVID-19 myocarditis.

Machine Learning-Powered “Deep Nanometry” Helps Reveal Disease-Related Nanoparticles
Researchers developed Deep Nanometry, a high-speed AI-powered technique that detects rare nanoparticles such as extracellular vesicles (EVs) linked to early-stage cancer. This deep learning-based noise removal method improves sensitivity.

News
Genetic Material Delivered Into Plant Roots for First Time
Researchers have, for the first time, introduced genetic material into plants via their roots, opening a potential pathway for rapid crop improvement.

News
Immune Mapping of Pancreatic Cancer Offers Insights for Precision-Targeted Treatment
Pancreatic cancer patients may benefit from future precision treatments as a new study shows how some tumors may potentially be more susceptible to macrophage-based therapies.

News
Vaccine Induces Antibodies in Mice Exposed to Wastewater Salmonella
In a step toward combatting Salmonella infections, researchers have identified a potential vaccine.

News
How RNA Molecules Carry Instructions Across Many Generations
New research challenges previous assumptions about RNA transport, finding that RNA can carry instructions across generations.

News
Antibody Treatment Protects Monkeys Against Severe Bird Flu
A prophylactic antibody-based immune therapy has been shown to protect monkeys against severe bird flu caused by H1N1.
