Link to the paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4206485/ HIV viruses are difficult to treat partly due to their ability to mutate. This makes it difficult for scientists and your body to target and destroy viruses. With the advent of DNA vaccines, it gives us another way we can possibly target HIV viruses. What are DNA vaccines? DNA vaccines are a…

Deciphering Bacterial Proteins in Infections

ByThe Short Paper

Bacterial pathogens deliver water- and solute-permeable channels to plant cells Many harmful bacteria that infect animals and plants use a special system to release proteins into their host cells. Understanding how these proteins work in host cells is vital for studying diseases in animals and plants. Researchers have been trying to figure out how a…

How New SARS-CoV-2 Variants Interact with Human Cells and Vaccines

ByThe Short Paper

Neutralization, effector function and immune imprinting of Omicron variants Recent variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, such as BQ.1.1 and XBB.1.5, have developed specific mutations in their spike proteins, which affect how the virus interacts with human cells and the effectiveness of vaccines and treatments. This study found that these variants bind more tightly to human…

Transforming the Iron and Steel Industry for Net-Zero Emissions

ByThe Short Paper

Global iron and steel plant CO2 emissions and carbon-neutrality pathways The iron and steel industry, a major source of CO2 emissions, is crucial for addressing climate change. A study mapped emissions and technologies for over 4,800 individual plants, creating tailored plans to reduce emissions. Retrofitting these plants with low-carbon tech during their operational years can limit…
