What began in the labs of the University of Queensland has now set the stage for one of Europe’s largest biotech acquisitions of the year. Sanofi has announced it will acquire UK-based vaccine developer Vicebio for $1.15 billion upfront, with an additional $450 million tied to clinical milestones—underscoring a major commitment to next-generation respiratory vaccines.

Excess centrosomes cause defects in mitosis, cell-signaling, and cell migration, and therefore their assembly is tightly regulated. The divergent Polo kinase, PLK4, controls centriole duplication at the heart of centrosome assembly, and elevated PLK4 levels promote centrosome amplification (CA), a founding event of tumorigenesis. Here, we investigate the transcriptional consequences of elevated PLK4 and find […]

Gene editing technologies — such as those used in agriculture and de-extinction projects — can be repurposed to offer what an international team of scientists is calling a transformative solution for restoring genetic diversity and saving endangered species. In a new Nature Reviews Biodiversity Perspective article published on July 18, the authors explore the promises, […]

New research by the University of Sydney offers important insights into how and when new coronavirus variants arise in bats. Bats are beneficial to our ecosystems and economy but, as habitat destruction and environmental stressors put them in closer proximity to humans, disease risks can emerge. The research, published in Nature Communications on July 17, […]

In a transformative leap that challenges longstanding constraints in energy conversion technology, researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking design paradigm for solid oxide cells (SOCs) that dramatically enhances their efficiency, durability, and structural integration. Traditional SOCs, fundamental devices capable of interconverting chemical energy and electricity at high temperatures, have been largely limited by planar, two-dimensional (2D) […]

New research from the University of Victoria (UVic) highlights how marine heatwaves can dramatically impact marine ecosystems and offers a stark preview of how future ocean warming will reshape ocean life. From 2014 to 2016, the Pacific coast of North America experienced the longest marine heatwave ever recorded, with temperatures reaching two to six degrees […]
