A window cleaner from Wisconsin let deadly snakes bite him 200 times over 20 years to build immunity that could become a universal antivenom. His antibodies can now neutralize venom from 19 snake species, offering hope for the 5.5 million people bitten by snakes each year.
Scientists used artificial intelligence to create tiny antibody fragments that can function inside human cells, targeting proteins that cause Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other brain diseases. This breakthrough overcomes a major limitation in medicine development and could lead to new treatments for conditions affecting over one million people in the UK alone.
Scientists at UC San Diego discovered that a natural fungal supplement reduces vaccine side effects while helping antibodies last longer. The breakthrough could make vaccines more appealing and effective for millions of people worldwide.
Researchers at the University of Southampton engineered a new four-pronged antibody that supercharges the immune system's ability to destroy cancer cells. The breakthrough could help millions of patients whose cancers don't respond to current treatments.
Researchers created antibodies that stopped Epstein-Barr virus from infecting mice with human immune systems. This breakthrough could protect transplant patients from life-threatening complications.
Scientists in Philadelphia created an HIV vaccine that triggered protective antibodies after just one shot in monkeys. The breakthrough could replace current experimental protocols requiring up to ten injections.
