New Vaccine To Be Used For First Time In Polio Outbreak Response

...d strong partnerships with the private sector have enabled the previous campaign in Yemen as well as swift development of the mOPV1 vaccine. However, a global funding gap of US$ 50 million must urgently be filled by July, to finance continued intensification of immunization campaigns in the second half of th...

Scientists succeed in cloning human embryos from eggs matured in the lab

Needed now are field studies to more accurately characterize determinants of exposure to asbestos fibers among residents in areas with naturally occurring a...

Gene loss accelerates aging

...d a sophisticated molecular genetic technique that enabled them to eliminate both copies of the gene from particular tissues--including skin and other multi-layered epithelial tissues--after the animals reached maturity. The effects of premature aging observed in these p63 deficient mice (image available on...

"Also, the fact that these groups maintained small herds and kept them moving probably reduced the pathogen transmission rate." According to the National Digestive Dise...

MBL researchers probe how an ancient microbe thrives and evolves without sex
