The COVID-19 pandemic brought messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to the forefront of global health care. After their clinical trial stages, the first COVID-19 mRNA vaccine was administered on 8 December 2020 and mathematical models suggest that mRNA vaccines prevented at least 14.4 million deaths from COVID-19 in the first year alone. Their extraordinary effectiveness in having … Read more
Scientists reveal how evolution within our own tissues can drive disease, protect cells, and uncover hidden therapeutic targets for future precision medicine. Somatic genomics uncovers the outcomes of evolutionary competitions within our tissues, which can drive disease, counter monogenic disease, or protect from common diseases In a recent study published in the journal Cell, researchers reviewed … Read more
Dr. Vadim Jucaud’s lab at the Terasaki Institute has developed a vascularized liver tissueoid-on-a-chip (LToC) platform that recapitulates key structural, functional, and immunological features of human liver tissue, enabling the study of liver regeneration and immune-mediated allograft rejection in a physiologically relevant human system. Liver transplantation remains the primary therapeutic option for patients with end-stage … Read more
