‘Proactive’ vaccine can protect against unknown future coronaviruses

Drug Discovery World

Researchers have developed a new vaccine technology that can provide protection against a broad range of coronaviruses with potential for future disease outbreaks – including ones we don’t know about yet. The study demonstrated that the new vaccine raises a broad immune response, even in mice that were pre-immunised with SARS-CoV-2.

CAR-NK cells: promising for cancer therapy

Drug Target Review

NK cells are among the front line of protection from infected and abnormal cells as part of the ‘innate immune response’. They recognise ‘cell stress molecules’ on the surface of infected, old, injured and cancerous cells without the need for complex pre-stimulation signals of the adaptive immune system (eg, T cells).
