Domain-based mRNA vaccines encoding spike protein N-terminal and receptor binding domains confer protection against SARS-CoV-2
Can current COVID-19 vaccines be improved upon?
'Gonsalves’s father recently died after a long descent into dementia. “We need better drugs for neurodegenerative diseases,” he told me. “But the way to do it is not to say, ‘Open the floodgates of the F.D.A.’ ”

"In an ideal world, the pre-award process would be transparent, easily understood, and equitable. There would be equal access for all researchers to information about funding opportunities, along with tailored support to meet a range of needs, including those of underrepresented academics. There would be plenty of time and resources allocated for applications, and appropriate training for those in decision-making positions. You probably won’t be surprised to learn that, sadly, things look very different in the real world."

"In late 1977, as the Chilean military junta extended the state of siege in place since its 1973 coup and formally dissolved all political parties, Friedrich Hayek wrote a letter to a German newspaper, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, to protest what he depicted as unfair international criticism of the government of General Augusto Pinochet."

'The whole thing is a political show. They say they want to reduce the cost of the asylum system, but this boat and the way we have been dealt with must have cost a fortune. At the moment there are 39 asylum seekers here, and there are 20 staff for 39 people. Previously, in our hotel before we were moved to the Bibby Stockholm, there were only about 10 members of staff for 300 asylum seekers, so how can that be said to be about reducing the cost?

'Têm uma intolerância visceral a qualquer restrição ao direito de propriedade e ao direito a fazer negócios – mesmo que estejamos a falar de cidadãos estrangeiros com condições socioeconómicas esmagadoras em comparação a quem vive dos rendimentos do seu trabalho em Portugal. O direito de propriedade e a liberdade económica não são como o direito à vida. Podem, e devem se for preciso, conhecer restrições.'

'Comprehensive studies of 14 complex structures of Mpro mutants with drugs or substrate revealed that mutations at the S1 and S4 subsites significantly decreased inhibitor binding, while mutations at the S2 and S4’ subsites unexpectedly increased protease activity.'
'Saura y su equipo sabían que el tumor no se transmite a través de la lactancia, pero a partir de la inquietud de esa paciente, se les “encendió una bombilla”, explica la oncóloga: quizás en esa muestra de leche había ya señales del cáncer que ayudasen a la investigación.'

The next ukiyo-e print shows Urashima Taro sitting beside a tree with the turtle in front of him. He's back home after the three years at the dragon king's palace which is now 'fading away under the sea waves like a dream' and he hasn't yet realised that 300 years have passed.

'Yet, as microbiome experts Alan Walker of Aberdeen university and Lesley Hoyles of Nottingham Trent University pointed out recently, in the journal Nature Microbiology, all the excitement “has unfortunately also brought with it hype and entrenched certain misconceptions.” Their article knocks down 12 myths about the microbiome, ranging from exaggerations about its size and weight to misconceptions about the association between some microbial patterns and disease.'

"A physical delineation of nature terminates at the point where the sphere of intellect begins, and a new world of mind is opened to our view. It marks the limit, but does not pass it."

Alexander von Humboldt was born #OTD in 1769. His quantitative work on botanical geography laid the foundation for the field of biogeography, while his advocacy of long-term systematic geophysical measurement pioneered modern geomagnetic & meteorological monitoring.

'I think many troubling aspects of US history are often neglected in the public consciousness. They include the four-day New York City draft riot in 1863, in which white rioters attacked African American workers and their properties; the race riots in Chicago, Illinois, in 1919; and the massacre in Tulsa, Oklahoma, two years later. These are just three examples of events, often catalysed by police inaction, that resulted in the loss of Black lives, livelihoods and homes.'
