Subcutaneous nanotherapy can make immunomodulation more effective in people with type 1 diabetes

Individuals living with type 1 diabetes must carefully follow prescribed insulin regimens every day, receiving injections of the hormone via syringe, insulin pump or some other device. And without viable long-term treatments, this course of treatment is a lifelong sentence.

'Forgetting' may represent a form of learning, scientists say

We create countless memories as we live our lives but many of these we forget. Why? Counter to the general assumption that memories simply decay with time, 'forgetting' might not be a bad thing – that is according to scientists who believe it may represent a form of learning.

SARS-CoV-2 Delta sublineage AY.4.2 shows no increase in cell entry or antibody evasion

Researchers from Germany, in their recent study published in the journal Cellular & Molecular Immunology, have evaluated the mutations in the S protein of one such SARS-CoV-2 strain, a Delta sublineage AY.4.2, which is currently expanding in the UK, and have found that it neither contains any potential for increased cell entry nor antibody escape.
