  • Universal vaccine to treat colds, flu and COVID developed, and a new study suggests it just might work
    on February 24, 2026 at 8:10 pm

    Vaccines have traditionally worked by teaching the immune system to recognize a specific virus or bacterium—in effect, showing it a wanted poster for a single suspect. But what if one vaccine could protect against dozens of different infections at once? Researchers have now developed a potential candidate for such a vaccine, and a study in mice, published in the journal Science, offers promising results.

  • Why our immune system remembers vaccinations for decades
    on February 24, 2026 at 7:40 pm

    Why can the human immune system often remember a vaccination for a whole lifetime? Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and Universitätsklinikum Erlangen have now investigated this question. Their study provides a surprisingly clear answer: The immune cells responsible for immunological memory seem to switch to a type of standby mode at an early stage. They can survive for many decades in this state. The findings have now been published in the journal Nature Immunology.

  • Geographic variation seen in declines in cervical cancer incidence

    Declines in cervical cancer incidence among young U.S. women during the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination era vary by geographic region, according to a study published online Feb. 23 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

  • Human liver tissue cell architecture reconstructed in 3D at a cellular level
    on February 24, 2026 at 7:20 pm

    Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians capture the spatial microstructure of multiple lobes of this multitasking organ.

  • Natural compound from pomegranate leaves disrupts disease-causing amyloid
    on February 24, 2026 at 7:00 pm

    A research team at Kumamoto University has discovered that a natural compound found in pomegranate leaves and branches can directly break down harmful protein aggregates linked to transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis, a progressive and potentially life-threatening disease affecting the nerves and heart.
