This is fantastic. Research out of Israel shows there have NOT been ANY vaccine-resistant SARS-CoV-2 variants found in the population. Comparing the prevalence of differing variants in the vaccinated and unvaccinated population, no difference was detected.
ynetnews.com/health_science…
Remember, vaccines are preventives, not cures! Some people will get infected despite being vaccinated or recovered as no vaccine is 100% effective (but remember it will protect you from the worst of it all). Researchers observed if these individuals were disproportionately being
infected by a vaccine-resistant variant. They were not! Indeed there are variants, and E484K variants in the population. While still in the early days of their vaccination program, the variants do not appear to be gaining any advantage which means the vaccines are stopping them!
To clarify, B.1.1.7 (UK) accounts for a little more than 90% of Israel’s cases. However, sequencing has found dozens of B.1.351 (SA), with P.1 (Brazil), B.1.526 (NY) and B.1.525 (Nigeria) detected in smaller numbers. This gives us a general idea at what these vaccines can do.

HOW COOL IS THIS? A virus (yes, you read that correctly) could help save BILLIONS of gallons of wastewater produced by fracking. Researchers at UTEP have identified a novel means of treating resilient bacteria found in produced water: Bacteriophages!

Let’s talk about that! 🧵⬇️ Bacteriophages attacking a bacterial cell.
You can find the study here:
•

An estimated 168 billion gallons of wastewater -or produced water- is generated annually by the Permian Basin fracking industry, according to a 2022 report by the Texas Produced Water Consortium.dx.doi.org/10.3390/w16060…
The major waste stream has proved both difficult and costly to treat because of the chemical complexity of the water.

According to this study just published in Water, numerous methods have been deployed to clean up the harmful bacteria in industrial wastewater.

HOW COOL IS THIS? For the FIRST time in ONE BILLION years, two lifeforms have truly merged into one organism. In a new study, researchers report that a nitrogen-fixing organelle has been identified in a marine alga. Meet the Nitroplast! Let’s talk about that! 🧵⬇️ A light microscopy image shows the marine algae Braarudosphaera bigelowii, which is a potentially large evolutionary step. This algae absorbed a bacterium called UCYN-A and formed a new organelle called a nitroplast. The black arrow is pointing to the nitroplast.
This discovery sheds light on the evolutionary transition from endosymbiont to organelle. A team of scientists have detected a sign of a major life event that has likely not occurred for at least one billion years. They’ve observed primary endosymbiosis–two lifeforms merging into
ONE organism. This incredibly rare event occurred between a type of abundant marine algae and a bacterium.

So, what makes this so fascinating? Technically, it is now time to welcome a new type of cell to the club of living things that can harvest nitrogen from the atmosphere!

This is HUGE news! MV140, a sublingual vaccine developed to prevent UTIs, showed REMARKABLE success and prevented recurring UTIs for nearly a DECADE. The vaccine not only reduced risk but also enabled a significant number of participants to be completely UTI-free!🧵⬇️
MV140 (Uromune®, Inmunotek S.L., Spain) is a polyvalent bacterial whole-cell-based sublingual vaccine that has been developed for the prevention of UTIs and is currently in Phase 3 development “pre-licensing” trials in 26 countries worldwide, including the UK, New Zealand,
Germany, Spain, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and Turkey.

Guys. Heads up. Let’s talk about H5N1. There have been SEVERAL bad takes and BLATANT misinformation circulating regarding this strain of bird flu so I figured it was a good idea to make a thread about it. Stay calm. Stay vigilant. Know your facts. Here’s ALL you need to know.🧵⬇️
First things first. Let’s address the elephant in the room. It is IMPORTANT to stress the risk to the public still remains LOW. So far, the virus does not appear to have mutated in a way that would make it significantly more dangerous. While concerning, the one human case,
IS CONSISTENT with how people usually catch these viruses-through DIRECT exposure to a sick animal.
This may make you wonder: is bird flu creeping closer to humans? The short answer: NO. In its current form, H5N1 doesn’t have the machinery to easily infect humans or spread quickly among us. That’s the good news. What is concerning is that avian influenza viruses are known to change quickly- especially when they’re abundant and spreading among certain animal populations. Hence why some scientists are concerned. To prevent further adaptation, we need to stop further cross-species transmission OBVIOUSLY.
What it would take for bird flu to become a human pandemic? The H5N1 virus that’s spreading now was first detected in the ’90s, at a goose farm in southern China, making it a relatively new type of avian influenza. (There are other strains of bird flu, but for the purposes of this article, we’ll use “bird flu” to mean H5N1.) In the decades since, the virus has mostly been a problem for birds, especially domestic poultry. It’s highly contagious, and infection can cause severe damage to birds’ internal organs. Outbreaks of the virus can wipe out 90 percent or more of farm birds within 48 ho...

How Vaccines Work 🧬🧫🦠🔬💉🥽
(Everyone Should Watch This)
Animation Credit: 幾加乘 @bilibili_en

Recently, I have been getting a fair amount of questions regarding updated vaccines, timing, and currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 strains so I figured a short FAQ thread would be helpful! 🧪🧵⬇️
What is the COVID-19 vaccine? The COVID-19 vaccine lessens the severity of COVID-19 by teaching the immune system to recognize and fight the virus that causes the disease. For fall/winter 2023–2024, the updated COVID-19 vaccine is based on the XBB.1.5 variant. The updated vaccine is made by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Novavax. This season, only one shot of the vaccine is needed for most people, and there are no boosters. (People who are immunocompromised or ages 6 months to 4 years may need more than one 2023–2024 vaccine.)

This is HUGE news! An investigational vaccine, ELI-002, appears to be effective in delaying relapse of KRAS-mutated pancreatic AND colorectal cancer, according to Phase I study results. FURTHERMORE, T-cell response correlated with an 86% REDUCTION in risk of relapse or death.🧵⬇️
This research has been published in Nature. You can find it here:
