RNA vaccines saved millions of lives during COVID-19 but have limitations like waning immunity and complex production. Scientists are now testing a new platform called DoriVac, which uses folded DNA ...

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a ...

The COVID-19 pandemic brought messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to the forefront of global health care. After their clinical ...

Scientists have uncovered surprising complexity in a tiny sensory structure found in comb jellies, some of the oldest animals on Earth.

Advanced 3D reconstructions of the comb jelly’s aboral organ reveal a sensory system far more complex than scientists expected. The organ contains a wide variety of specialized cells and is closely ...

Coronaviruses not only use the machinery of the human cells they infect: they modify them to achieve optimal conditions to ...

A multi-disciplinary research team at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and ...

The “freedom” theme echoes one of the major concerns of the director of the NIH, Jay Bhattacharya, who feels he suffered ...

Findings reveal coronaviruses exploit stress-linked tRNA modifications, enhancing translation efficiency and offering insights for antiviral drug development.

For instance, researchers noticed during the pandemic that people who received the BCG vaccine against tuberculosis—which is ...

Wyss Institute's DoriVac combined vaccine and adjuvant technology uses nanoscale precision enabled by DNA origami to induce ...
