Protecting children from dangerous viruses with oral vaccines

Orally administered vaccine can protect millions from hepatitis B. Oral vaccines are both safer and less expensive than injections. Therefore, researchers are continuously pursuing ways to produce an oral vaccine that is sufficiently effective. Now, University of Copenhagen physicists have delivered virologists a “recipe” for improving vaccine drops using methods from the world of nanophysics.

Cannabidiol is effective in eliminating the symptoms of depression on the same day – in rats

Commercial antidepressants typically take two to four weeks to have a significant effect on a depressed patient. They are also ineffective in many cases. Finding new drugs for depression that are fast-acting and have more lasting effects is the goal of research conducted by Brazilian scientists in São Paulo State in collaboration with Danish colleagues.

Could the Zika virus be used as a tool to treat aggressive human central nervous system (CNS) tumors?

A Brazilian study published April 26 in the journal Cancer Research shows for the first time in vivo that Zika virus can be used as a tool to treat aggressive human central nervous system (CNS) tumors. After injecting small amounts of the pathogen into the brains of mice with an advanced stage of the disease, the scientists

Clay-based nanostructures could impact oil production, food spoilage, cosmetic and drug manufacturing

By controlling a mix of clay, water and salt, Norwegian and Brazilian researchers have created nanostructures that might help boost oil production, expand the lifespan of certain foods or that could be used in cosmetics or drugs. You’ve seen sauce or mayonnaise that separates, or a slippery layer of oil that forms on top of
