New York: US scientists have created a first-of-its-kind roadmap that traces each step in the development of blood stem cells in the human embryo. The map will provide scientists with a blueprint for producing fully functional blood stem cells in the lab. The research, published in the journal Nature, could help expand treatment options for […]
New York: Scientists at the University of Texas have developed a vaccine that could protect against the deadly Nipah virus in just three days. Nipah is a zoonotic virus (transmitted from animals to humans), which can be spread through contaminated food or directly between humans on exposure to secretions. The virus had three outbreaks in […]
This model not only accounts for individuals' varying biological susceptibility to infection but also their levels of social activity, which naturally change over time.
"We are still searching for its Achille's Heel so that we can develop optimal antivirals," Chanda said in a paper published in the journal Molecular Cell.
