Surface-modified measles vaccines encoding oligomeric, fusion-stabilized SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoproteins bypass measles seropositivity, boosting neutralizing antibody responses to omicron and historical variants.

This study develops a measles-based vaccine encoding SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoproteins that enhances neutralizing antibody responses against both omicron and historical variants.

A CRISPR interference system for the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii

This paper develops a CRISPR interference system in Azotobacter vinelandii to silence nitrogen fixation genes and demonstrates its utility for combinatorial gene expression studies.

Neoadjuvant systemic oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus is safe and may enhance long-term survivorship in dogs with naturally occurring osteosarcoma.

This study evaluates neoadjuvant oncolytic virus therapy in dogs with osteosarcoma, finding it safe and associated with increased long-term survivorship and immune gene expression.

Boosting of SARS-CoV-2 immunity in nonhuman primates using an oral rhabdoviral vaccine

This study develops an oral rhabdoviral vaccine that boosts SARS-CoV-2 immunity in nonhuman primates by enhancing viral tropism through G protein trans-complementation.

Pathogenic measles viruses cannot evolve to bypass vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies

The paper shows that measles viruses cannot evolve to escape vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies due to constraints on antigenic sites.

Development and validation of IMMUNO-COV: a high-throughput clinical assay for detecting antibodies that neutralize SARS-CoV-2

The paper develops and validates IMMUNO-COV, a high-throughput assay that accurately quantifies SARS-CoV-2-neutralizing antibodies in human sera.

Characterisation of factors contributing to the performance of nonwoven fibrous matrices as substrates for adenovirus vectored vaccine stabilisation

The paper investigates fibrous matrices for adenovirus vaccine stabilisation, identifies polyvinyl alcohol as a key stabilising component, and develops a custom matrix for clinical translation.
