Discovery and development of COVID?19 vaccine from laboratory to clinic

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

The development of vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 becomes more difficult due to the viral mutation in its non-structural proteins (NSPs) especially NSP2 and NSP3, S protein, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp).

Simple test for flu could improve diagnosis and surveillance

Broad Institute

By Allessandra DiCorato June 18, 2024 Credit: Jon Arizti-Sanz SHINE, a rapid diagnostic test developed by Pardis Sabeti's lab in 2020, uses paper strips and CRISPR enzymes to identify specific sequences of viral RNA in samples. Then, in 2022, they began adapting the assay to detect other viruses they knew were always circulating: influenzas.

New diagnostic approach for bacterial infections shows promise in the clinic

Broad Institute

The method, called Genotypic and Phenotypic Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing through RNA detection, or GoPhAST-R, analyzes the growth and genetic activity of the bacteria to quickly determine the pathogen’s susceptibility to various medicines.

How (and Why) the Octopus Edits its RNA

PLOS: DNA Science

But some species control genetic responses another way – via RNA editing. In a new report in Cell , Joshua Rosenthal of the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods’ Hole and Eli Eisenberg at Tel Aviv University describe how the cephalopods – octopi, squid, and cuttlefish – change mRNAs in ways that alter enzymes.
