✍️Kiwa antiviral defenses dissected to disarm bacteria bioworld.com/articles/722...
The supercomplex named after the Māori guardian of the sea works like an immune system based on two proteins. One detects the virus, the other binds to its DNA to neutralize the infection.
Kiwa antiviral defenses dissected to disarm bacteria
Bacteria also defend themselves against pathogen attacks using mechanisms like those of the immune system. But if there is a system to repel an attack, it can also be dismantled. Scientists at the Uni...

We may not have a vaccine that works against HIV but we do have injectable PrEP.
Just 2 injections of lencapavir (LEN) in a year offers effective HIV prevention.
The World Health Organisation at #IAS2025 calls for global rollout.
We have the power to end this epidemic.
WHO recommends injectable lenacapavir for HIV prevention
The World Health Organization (WHO) released today new guidelines recommending the use of injectable lenacapavir (LEN) twice a year as an additional pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) option for HIV prev...

A Princeton professor had his students complete an assignment using A.I. It became “the most profound experience” in his teaching career.
Will the Humanities Survive Artificial Intelligence?
Maybe not as we’ve known them. But, in the ruins of the old curriculum, something vital is stirring.

Live-cell super-resolution microscopy reveals how molecules enter and exit the nucleus
The nuclear pore complex is the gateway to the nucleus of cells. Now an in vivo imaging technique can track the way in which molecules move through this complex.
