A Phase III trial found that a single dose of clesrovimab protected high-risk infants against severe RSV as effectively as monthly palivizumab injections, with a similar safety profile. The long-acting antibody could simplify RSV prevention by providing season-long protection with one shot. https://jamanetwork.com/jour…

Researchers developed a light-driven synthesis method that can generate antiviral compound libraries 10–100× larger in weeks instead of years. Screening the first library identified three new HIV-active compounds with activity comparable to approved therapies. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aed6880

Researchers created a micromotor driven solely by water-surface vortices, producing controlled rotation without electricity, magnets, or chemical reactions. The technique could enable the contact-free assembly of ultrafine fiber structures for applications such as surgical sutures, artificial muscles, and advanced cabl…

Researchers developed a reusable magnetic adsorbent that removed over 95% of micro- and nanoplastics and some PFAS from water within an hour. The material can be magnetically recovered and reused, bringing the technology closer to large-scale wastewater treatment. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1385…

Researchers found that just a 10–20% increase in tubulin disrupts microtubule dynamics, weakens tissue organization, and reduces cell viability. The study highlights precise protein abundance as a fundamental requirement for healthy cells and a potential target for future cancer therapies. https://www.nature.com/articl…
