Vaccines work! As measles cases have recently been reported in Alaska, Georgia, New York, Rhode Island and Texas, it's important to remember that prior to the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963, measles killed 400-500 people and resulted in ~48,000 hospitalizations per year.

1/n So, this is out in NAR, finally. The longest, the most expensive and the most challenging project in the lab. Sparked by controversy concerning mammalian antiviral RNAi and our identification of Dicer variant, which is sufficient to increase RNAi.
