Scientists capture how cells trigger inflammation

SLAC scientists observed an immune signaling complex forming inside cells for the first time, revealing insights that could guide new treatments.

Stress hormones rewire immune system during periods of food scarcity

When food is scarce, stress hormones direct the immune system to operate in “low power” mode to preserve immu…

On August 4, 2025, #Meat & #Livestock #Australia announced a $20 million research partnership with #TibaBiotech & the #NSW Government to pioneer a world-first #biodegradable #mRNA #vaccine for #footandmouthdisease (#FMD). While Australia remains FMD-free, this step was announced to safeguard against potential outbreaks that could cost the Australian economy up to $80 billion.

The vaccine, tested in Germany, uses mRNA technology to trigger an #immuneresponse in #cattle.
