Understanding how to regulate key enzyme may lead to new treatments for cancers, viral infections

A new study led by University of California, Irvine (UCI) researchers identifies two ways in which APOBEC3A-; a vital enzyme that is responsible for genetic changes resulting in a variety of cancers while protecting our cells against viral infection-;is controlled.

CDC recommends additional dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in moderately to severely immunocompromised people

Today, I signed CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices' (ACIP) recommendation that endorsed the use of an additional dose of COVID-19 vaccine for people with moderately to severely compromised immune systems after an initial two-dose vaccine series.

How replication and recombination contribute to emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been caused by the rapid outbreak of a novel coronavirus, namely, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 was first reported in late December 2019 in Wuhan, China. Since then, the virus has already claimed more than 4.3 million lives worldwide.

Advances in plant-made vaccines revive interest in plant-produced pharmaceuticals and edible drugs

Recent progress in developing and testing plant-made vaccines has revived interest in plant-produced pharmaceuticals, including edible drugs, for human use. Advances in technology and manufacturing could boost the uptake of therapeutics made in this way, say Hugues Fausther-Bovendo and Gary Kobinger in this Perspective.
