Scientists studying the Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine against tuberculosis found that it induces specific changes in metabolites and lipids that correlate with innate immune system…
This ribbon diagram shows the structure of the Delta variant’s spike protein before the virus fuses with its target cell. The N-terminal domain (NTD) is…
Protein-based vaccine elicits strong immune responses in mice; approach could be used for other diseases. Currently available COVID vaccines require cold storage and sophisticated manufacturing…
The bio-inspired nanofibers carry two peptides (shown as arrays of blue and violet dots) that are modified from peptides on tetrodotoxins’ natural binding site on…
Mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 variants cause changes in the electrostatic potential (electric charge at rest) on the spike surface. Here, positively charged areas are shown…
In polymicrogyria, the cortex of the brain has many irregular, small folds (gyria) and disorganization of its layers, caused by mutations in one of several…
