Emerging mRNA vaccine strategies target cancer and pathogenic viruses in potent new ways

The technology that gave the world mRNA COVID vaccines is being tested in a variety of new ways, and emerging research reveals that a crucial T-cell population can be reprogrammed in animal models by reimagining the science that was introduced to the public at the height of the p

Mouse model supports long-held belief that viruses can trigger Parkinson's disease

Scientists usually use animal models when studying Parkinson's disease because these models mimic the disease well. They are limited, however, because they require either gene modifications or the injection of toxicants, which may not accurately represent how the disease occurs i

COVID-19 vaccine boosters may help protect against future animal coronaviruses, research s

COVID-19 vaccine boosters not only protect against SARS-CoV-2—the virus behind the most recent pandemic—but may also help protect against some future coronaviruses that risk spreading from animals to humans, Cambridge researchers have shown.

AI turns mouse movements into language-like tokens, uncovering autism-related social behav

An artificial intelligence model capable of reading and interpreting animal behavior like language has been developed by researchers at KAIST. The team created an AI model that learns behavioral data in a manner similar to natural language and was able to independently identify s

Human red blood cells form without central 'hub' seen in mouse models, upending understand

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that one of the body's most fundamental biological processes—how red blood cells are made—works differently in humans than previously thought, according to a new study published in Nature Genetics. The findings overturn decades of

Brainstem neurons map whisker touch into object distance, reveals mouse study

If you are crossing an unfamiliar room in the dark, you may grope around a bit to get a sense of your space. But for many animals, feeling out a space comes more naturally. A mouse, for instance, can efficiently navigate in the dark just by grazing its whiskers against walls and

The same sounds are mapped similarly in the human and mouse brain, study finds

While exploring the world around them, both humans and other animals continuously interpret information they pick up with their sight, hearing, touch and other senses. Neuroscience research suggests that the brain does not individually process every single sensory experience, but

Scientists uncover genetic clues from a tumor-prone reptile that could advance cancer rese

A new study led by experts at the University of Nottingham suggests a pet gecko with an unusually high risk of tumors may be a promising model for understanding how cancer develops and spreads. The findings of the study, which are published in BMC Biology, could help explain why
