Researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln recently described in Science Advances a new material that may prove to be effective for bone repair that requires either added cells or growth factors.

To minimize risk of immune detection, the Covid-19 virus sets itself up in a privileged vesicle where replication enzymes can whir away unnoticed.

Everyone is desperate to understand how the pandemic ends, what will be the silver bullet that saves us all. The answer is not that simple nor is it a comfortable easily digestible narrative. As the virus changes and evolves, the answer will also change.
