In the lab: An intranasal #birdflu vax currently being studied in animal models apparently guards against highly pathogenic strains. Known as H5N1 avian flu, the virus jumped from wild birds to farm animals in the US, then to people. It has caused >70 human cases since 2024, including 2 fatalities👇
Intranasal Bird Flu Vaccine Protects Against Highly Pathogenic Strains in Rodents
Prior seasonal influenza virus immunity did not impair antibody responses or protection conferred by the intranasal H5N1 vaccine.

Emerging bat virus found in stored throat swabs from 5 patients with suspected #Nipah infection

The finding raises the concern that dangerous bat viruses may be silently co-circulating with Nipah virus.

Evidence has been rising in recent yrs suggesting the gut microbiome influences how well cancer treatments work. An underlying mechanism remained elusive. Now, scientists have revealed how gut microbes help the amino acid asparagine increase tumor growth or activate immune cells against it👇
Gut Microbes Shape Cancer Growth and Immunity Through Asparagine Metabolism
Gut bacteria control how dietary asparagine is used, determining whether it fuels tumor growth or enhances CD8⁺ T-cell–mediated immunity.

The origin of eukaryotic cells continues to be one of the greatest mysteries in biology.

EMBL Grenoble is excited to welcome Florian Wollweber, who will use cutting-edge imaging techniques to study Asgard archaea — microbes closely related to our earliest ancestors. 🦠🔬
