Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have discovered a way to make mRNA vaccines safer and more effective — by adding anti-inflammatory molecules inspired by olive oil. Their new lipid design not only reduces side effects like soreness and fatigue but also boosts vaccine performance against diseases like Covid-19 and cancer.

The platform called Nanostraw Electro-actuated Transfection (Next) uses tiny hollow nanostructures and electrical pulses to insert a wide variety of biomolecules — proteins, mRNA and gene-editing tools — into immune cells with high efficiency and minimal disruption.

Researchers at Kaist have developed the first technology to selectively acetylate specific RNA molecules inside living cells using the CRISPR-Cas13 system. This breakthrough enables precise, programmable control of RNA function and marks a major step forward in RNA-based therapeutics and gene regulation research.

A recent study involving 46 million adults from England has revealed that the incidence of heart attacks and strokes had reduced after taking the Covid-19 vaccination.

Asahi Kasei Medical's subsidiary Bionova Scientific has plans to launch a plasmid DNA business and for this it will develop a new facility in Texas, USA. The unit is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2025 for process development and later in 2025 for GMP manufacturing.

Researchers have made use of a novel AI-based method called Drfold to enhance the accuracy of RNA models by more than 70 percent when compared to traditional approaches.

A new study has revealed that more lives could have been saved in the U.S. in the last three years if the Covid-19 booster vaccine was approved sooner. Researchers estimate that through June 30, 2022, the U.S. could have saved 29,000 lives among already vaccinated people.

A study of older U.S. adults led by researchers at Brown University found that the risk of negative effects of both mRNA vaccines is exceptionally low, but lowest with the Moderna vaccine.

A study has revealed that the third-dose of Covid-19 vaccines offer extended protection from Covid-19. Third and fourth doses of these vaccines have also been offered to people who are considered as high risk in the UK.

A new research by the University of Minnesota has revealed for the first time the creation and elimination of synapses between neurons in the brains of live mice. The research offers an understanding into what exactly happens when memories are created and forgotten and could help treat conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder.
