Injecting the seasonal flu vaccine directly into clumps of malignant cells recruits immune cells to confront the cancer.

The small number of genetic differences between the original strain of the novel coronavirus from Wuhan and those currently circulating in the US population indicates that a vaccine may likely offer lasting immunity.

We present an economic plan for a collective sharing of scientific knowledge on the pandemic.

Rhesus macaques can be infected with SARS-CoV-2, leading primate center scientists to try to prevent outbreaks in their colonies, especially as experiments on coronavirus start.

The first volunteer will receive a shot of the synthetic RNA vaccine today.

The study, conducted in Malawi, Kenya, and Ghana, did not obtain informed consent from each parent whose child participated, but rather considered consent “implied” because of the particular experimental design.

Random mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen’s genome help researchers track the spread and transmission of COVID-19, the disease it causes.

Researchers look to messenger RNA encased in nanoparticles, DNA plasmids, molecular clamps, and other approaches as they rush to design a vaccine against the new coronavirus.

Critics of the practice say the guidance is irresponsible and could give users a false sense of security.
