A daily pill taken after COVID exposure prevented symptoms in 97% of people who took it, offering the first proven protection for vulnerable populations living with infected household members. The drug could soon reach U.S. patients after Japan and Singapore already approved it.
UK researchers discovered a groundbreaking method to identify dangerous animal viruses without risking human infection. Their work could help prevent the next pandemic by spotting threats before they spread.
Researchers have developed an experimental nasal spray that could protect against multiple respiratory threats at once, from flu and COVID-19 to bacteria and allergens. While still years from market, the innovation represents a major shift in how we might defend ourselves against future pandemics.
Scientists just proved what sparked past outbreaks like COVID-19, and the solution could stop the next one. Yale researchers found traded animals share 41% of their diseases with humans, but blocking key routes could protect millions.
A French health expert says artificial intelligence technologies available today could have prevented thousands of COVID-19 deaths if they'd existed during the pandemic. Global health leaders are now meeting in France to explore how AI can protect future generations.
Scientists at Stanford developed a nasal spray vaccine that primes your lungs to fight nearly any respiratory threat, from viruses to bacteria to allergens. Human trials could begin soon, potentially transforming how we protect ourselves during flu season and future pandemics.
Scientists developed a nasal spray that stops H5N1 bird flu in the nose and lungs, outperforming traditional shots in animal tests. The breakthrough could prevent future pandemics by blocking infection where it starts.
Scientists at Washington University have created a nose spray vaccine that completely protected mice and hamsters from bird flu infection, offering hope for preventing the next pandemic. The vaccine works better than traditional flu shots and stays effective even in people who've had previous flu vaccines.
