Universal vaccine produces long-lasting immunity against influenza A viruses in miceResearchers have developed a universal vaccine to combat influenza A viruses that produces long-lasting immunity in mice and protects them against the limitations of seasonal flu vaccines, according to a study led by Georgia State University.
 
 
 BIST researchers develop new retinal prosthesis to address visual degeneration
 
BIST researchers develop new retinal prosthesis to address visual degenerationA healthy retina contains photoreceptor cells that convert light changes into nerve impulses, which are then carried along the optic nerve to the brain, where they are decoded into images. Diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa cause the photoreceptor cells to stop functioning, while the rest of the eye remains healthy.
