Mexico signed a groundbreaking agreement with Moderna to manufacture mRNA vaccines domestically, including potential vaccines for dengue and cancer. The five-year partnership will transfer cutting-edge vaccine technology to Mexican facilities and support local scientific research.
Johns Hopkins researchers found a chemical tweak that makes mRNA medicines produce proteins nearly twice as fast as current COVID vaccine technology. The discovery could lead to more powerful treatments using smaller doses.
After political backlash threatened to derail cancer research, mRNA vaccines are delivering real hope to patients with deadly diseases like pancreatic cancer. New funding and positive trial results suggest the technology could save thousands of lives.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
A personalized mRNA cancer vaccine for melanoma is showing clinical success, offering hope that cancer treatment breakthroughs might help rebuild public confidence in vaccine technology. The same mRNA platform that powered COVID-19 vaccines is now being adapted to fight cancer.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
A new AI system from China's Zhejiang University just claimed the top spot on an international test for autonomous scientific research, beating out major competitors. The breakthrough shows how AI is getting better at thinking through complex research problems independently.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
Billions in private donations are accelerating life-saving medical discoveries that might otherwise take decades or never happen. From cancer treatments to brain disease research, philanthropic funding is helping researchers pursue bold ideas with the flexibility government grants can't provide.

After nearly 18 months of halted funding that threatened decades of HIV and TB research, the US National Institutes of Health has reversed its ban on South Africa. The decision restores hope for global health progress and hundreds of research jobs.
South Korea is creating a new research movement to produce globally recognized scientists like Jane Goodall by focusing on uniquely Korean topics. The K-Science initiative aims to blend the nation's culture, history, and environment with cutting-edge research.
Jennifer Ferris transformed a "Wild Wild West" research environment into a thriving 17-person operation, earning the first university-wide staff award ever given to UT Health Sciences' Knoxville campus. Her journey from solo clinical trial coordinator to award-winning director shows how one person's vision can reshape an entire research community.
Finland's Kordelin Foundation is handing early career researchers €45,000 grants to turn their doctoral work into real-world impact. The program supports fresh PhDs exploring everything from groundbreaking research to startup ventures.
Nigeria's medical research institute has unveiled a biobank containing over 400,000 biological samples that could revolutionize how the country understands and treats diseases. The massive collection offers locally generated data that researchers say will lead to better health outcomes for millions of Africans.
Irish researchers have developed a groundbreaking mRNA vaccine that slashed neuroblastoma tumors by 70% in laboratory mice, offering fresh hope for a childhood cancer that kills 15% of young patients. The innovative treatment could be personalized for each child within weeks.
After federal research funding collapsed and thousands of scientists lost their jobs, a new model of community-driven science is taking root across America. From state-funded research bonds to mobile MRI scanners in rural towns, researchers are discovering that science doesn't need ivory towers to thrive.
mRNA vaccines prevented eight million COVID infections in their first six months and now show promise for treating cancer. Despite recent political setbacks, scientists remain confident this breakthrough technology will transform medicine.
Personalized cancer vaccines using mRNA technology are showing remarkable success in clinical trials, cutting melanoma recurrence rates in half. The same breakthrough that brought us COVID-19 vaccines is now training immune systems to hunt down and destroy cancer cells.
Scientists discovered a simple chemical swap that helps cells build proteins from mRNA faster and with fewer errors, potentially leading to more effective vaccines using smaller doses. The breakthrough could ease supply shortages during health emergencies.
