No pharmaceutical treatments exist for addictions to drugs like cocaine or cannabis. Now, scientists are engineering gene therapies, immunotherapies, and more.

Researchers uncovered the structure of the measles fusion glycoprotein and identified a neutralizing antibody capable of decreasing its virulence.

The durability and capacity to boost protein expression of circular RNA makes it a promising candidate for next-generation vaccines and gene therapies.

Scientists have appreciated the roles of bacteria in our microbiomes for decades. Now, they’re studying the effects of the trillions of viruses that call the human body home.

We should work to dispel the myth of the lone genius and embrace collaboration.

The success of vaccines and cancer treatments varies depending on the time of day they are delivered. Researchers now look to exploit circadian rhythms to improve health outcomes.

Mice vaccinated with spirulina expressing a malaria parasite protein were protected from infection, setting the stage for future clinical trials.

After decades of research, chemists created antibodies that could help patients fight addiction.

From ancient medicines to equipping humans with new senses, tattoos are more than just permanent marks on the skin. They may boost immune function, and they have the potential to effectively deliver therapeutics through the skin.

Anna Blakney, an RNA bioengineer and TikTok science communicator, studies how self-amplifying RNA improves RNA vaccines and therapeutics.
