A new chikungunya vaccine prepares the immune system prior to infection. As outbreaks spread, the development offers a vital resource for prevention.

09/21/2026

Researchers pioneered a new CRISPR-based method of genetically fighting bacterial resistance. The groundbreaking technology provides a unique tool that actively counters resistant bacteria.
