In the fight against COVID-19, scientists are using special tests to measure antibodies in people's blood. One such test is the Vaxarray Coronavirus (CoV) seroassay. This test checks for SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies, which are made against three parts of the virus: the full-length spike protein (FLS),
Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized many fields, but they also bring concerns about made-up information, especially in science. One way to tackle this is with Retrieval-augmented Generation (RAG). RAG lets LLMs access data and documents they weren't trained on, helping them reason bette
French director Coralie Fargeat has decided to withdraw her film "The Substance" from Poland's Camerimage Film Festival. This move comes after the festival's founder, Marek Żydowicz, wrote a controversial article that many deemed sexist. Fargeat, along with her cinematographer Benjamin Kračun, felt
In the world of medicinal chemistry, creating potent drugs involves exploring different structures and their effects. One key challenge is figuring out which drug variations (analogues) to make next. Researchers have come up with a new way to predict and design powerful drugs. This method combines a
Did you know that B19V, a tiny virus, can cause big problems for pregnant women? It's responsible for fetal hydrops, a serious condition. But creating a vaccine against it has been tough. Scientists have now found a clever way to make a vaccine using tiny protein particles shaped like spheres. They
