Making people’s lives and health its first priority, China adopted extensive, stringent, and thorough containment measures, and has for now succeeded in cutting all channels for the transmission of the virus. 1.4 billion Chinese people have exhibited enormous tenacity and solidarity in erecting a ...
An array of new technologies is being developed to surmount these challenges, including approaches to optimize mRNA cargos, lipid carriers with inherent tissue tropism and in vivo percutaneous delivery systems. The judicious integration of these advances may unlock the promise of biologically targeted ...
First Nations peoples in Australia face systemic inequities in access to kidney transplantation. The National Indigenous Kidney Transplant Taskforce was established to address these. It has provided support to clinicians to implement and evaluate innovative practices and developed strategies to address biases...

The effects of COVID-19 on the heart, both in the long and short term, have been a topic of interest for scientists and health experts since the outbreak of the coronavirus. Early research found a large portion of deaths caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVI...
infection risks to wildlife, plants, and humans. The role of host mobility in virus transmission has been debated, with a common perspective being that host movement tends to accelerate the spread of virus. However, numerous ...
Scientists and researchers, who have been working day and night, isolated the first virus strain and developed the test reagent in less than seven days. Hailed as heroes in harm's way, over 20,000 healthcare workers in 100 plus medical teams converged in Hubei, the hardest hit province, ...
and successes as they deliver remote services this summer and implement protocols for safe returns in the fall. Implementing quality improvement tools, such as those developed by theInstitute for Healthcare Improvement, can help schools adapt their approaches in real time to emerging needs and ...
This was no small feat. Coronaviruses have the largest genomes (ف30,000 bases of positive-sense RNA) found in any RNA virus. These sequence data not only per- mitted the rapid development of highly specific diagnostic tests, but also helped in the epidemiologic tracking of the pandemic. ...
(Fig.1a,b).Varroa destructorevolved on the Eastern honey bee,Apis cerana, but was introduced to Western honey bees during the first half of the last century and has since dispersed to nearly every country in the world4. The mite primarily feeds on the fat body of bees5, thereby ...
