Research sheds light on protections against COVID-19 variant infections
James Baker | Via Newswise | March 16, 2023Research is shedding light on why ‘breakthrough’ Omicron infections occur in vaccinated individuals and suggests those who are both vaccinated and experienced previous infection have better protection against getting sick again. The research shows that having both infection and vaccination with the “wild-type” virus, or the original COVID-19 variant, provides individuals with the strongest protection […]
Fluidizing the cell membrane
Gang Zheng | Via EurekAlert | March 16, 2023Effective internalization of lipid nanoparticles for photodynamic cancer therapy In order to deliver cancer therapeutics to tumor cells, the cells’ membranes must be overcome.
