The military biosensor will save us from upcoming pandemics
Profusa Lumee, a biosensor capable of detecting changes in the body due to infection, can report infection for up to 3 weeks before seeing its symptoms.

Science's response to covid-19 is powerful: 15 remedies already in various stages of development, and 4 "already ready" to be tested. But it will still take months for a coronavirus vaccine: here's why.
Hard times for scientific popularization with coronavirus. Yet the future still exists, and continues to advance: this good news reminds us.
A plasma-based approach from coronavirus survivors can save countless lives. The Japanese Takeda proposes it.
All over the world it is a crazy race against time to find a coronavirus vaccine. The former may enter clinical or emergency use in April.
Even a rapid development of the vaccine for Covid-19 may not counteract the growth of the epidemic, and AI is taking the field against the coronavirus, identifying, among the already existing drugs, Atazanavir as a candidate for use in a treatment.
Gilead Sciences gives the Chinese Remdesivir, an experimental drug (not yet authorized in humans) used on the first American patient.
The situation in Wuhan worsens, but the scientific reaction is powerful: in 2003 it took 20 months to test a coronavirus vaccine. Today 3 will be enough.
Preventive treatment for dementia, Alzheimer's vaccine advances towards clinical trial after successful animal testing.
A breast cancer vaccine that stimulates the immune system achieves the expected results, awaits the 3rd phase of the trials and will be ready in 8 years.
A team of scientists plans the combined use of X-rays, machine learning and synchrotron to read the Herculaneum papyri without opening them.
The drug shows efficacy on mice in preventing the development of melanoma, related tumors and related metastases. The melanoma vaccine is reality.
The treatment developed by an Australian biotech company aims to reprogram the immune system to make it tolerant to gluten.
The Alzheimer's vaccine will be ready within 5 years. A good result, for a disease that scares many people. The development of a vaccine against Alzheimer's could be a matter of years now, as emerges from a study by Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, published in the journal Nature. The first tests on humans will be carried out by 2018. And it doesn't end here. In the future, Alzheimer's disease could be diagnosed early, with ad hoc tests, perhaps a blood test... Read more
Human tissues made with 3D printers could very soon save millions of lives: those of laboratory rats. More than three hundred million animals are killed every year in scientific laboratories and research centers around the world: they are mostly mice, rats and rabbits which are used to study vaccines and drugs to be tested in subsequent phases on humans: it is a sad (and sometimes necessary) reality that could soon be avoided. At Heriot Watt… Read more
How stupid are allergies. Stupids. Our immune system becomes hysterical in reacting to external impulses and does so for no reason: an 'excess defense' which in the most serious cases can even lead to death. The so-called 'vaccines' currently on the market are only desensitizing treatments that actually act on the symptoms, nothing that eliminates the underlying cause once and for all. [highlight]Today a new molecule could succeed in the mission:[/highlight]its name is DARPin E2-79 and it comes… Read more
