Nasal universal vaccine shields mice from viruses, bacteria, and allergies

A nasal spray vaccine, GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, protected mice against SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses, guarded against certain bacteria, and reduced allergy-related lung symptoms, by engaging both innate and adaptive immunity; with three doses, it lowered lung viral loads and sped up immune responses, and human trials could begin with a target availability in 5–7 years if results translate to people.

The Role of Y Chromosome Loss in Cancer Growth and Aggressiveness.

Loss of the Y chromosome in cancer cells allows them to evade the body's adaptive immune response, leading to increased cancer growth. This finding could explain why men are more susceptible to certain types of cancer. The study also suggests that targeting the Y chromosome could be a potential strategy for improving immunotherapy treatments for bladder cancer.
