Scientists are already making vaccines for the next pandemic, whatever it may be

Many researchers are already working on developing vaccines for the next pandemic, even though they don’t know what it will be. (Craig Chivers/CBC.


When the next coronavirus pandemic hits, scientists plan to already have a vaccine against it, no matter what it is. But how is that possible? Here’s what they’re doing now to develop vaccines against emerging viruses and future variants of COVID-19.

Popular Energy Drinks’ Harmful Effects on Heart Revealed in New Research

Popular energy drinks may give you a boost, but they may also contribute to possible serious heart conditions, findings show.

A team of researchers, led by a Texas A&M University professor, has found that some energy drinks have adverse effects on the muscle cells of the heart.

The study, led by Dr. Ivan Rusyn, a professor in the Veterinary Integrative Biosciences (VIBS) Department at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVMBS), was published in Food and Chemical Toxicology. In it, researchers observed cardiomyocytes – human heart cells grown in a laboratory – exposed to some energy drinks showed an increased beat rate and other factors affecting cardiac function.

Biotech entrepreneur George Church launches gene therapy startup to design safer viral vectors

The adeno-associated viruses often used as vectors to deliver gene therapy can trigger unwanted and sometimes dangerous immune responses. Now, a Harvard University team led by renowned geneticist George Church, Ph.D., has developed a way to “cloak” AAVs from immune surveillance. They’ve spun off Ally Therapeutics to develop it.
