Development Pfizer Will Ship Fewer Vaccine Vials to Account for ‘Extra’ Dosesextra doses were found in some vials of Pfizer vaccines, the company pushed for the US federal government to count the ‘extra’ towards the 200 million doses that they’d committed to provide to the government.

So, the researchers decided to set up a slow-release system. They created a gene that was essentially a string of GLP-1 sequences, separated by sites recognized by one of the body's protein cutting enzymes. Then they linked these to a sequence for something called elastin-like peptide, or ELP. ELP has an interesting behavior: it's perfectly soluble in water at room temperature, but forms a complex aggregate when raised to human body temperatures. … [Read more...] about Peptide depots and DNA tattoos could deliver drugs in the future

This has a very specific effect on the device. If signals in the form of current have transited it within the last few seconds, it'll still be in the "on" state, and the current will travel with low resistance. Longer than that, however, and Ostwald ripening ensures that it goes back to the off state, meaning that any additional signals face high resistance. This also sets an activity threshold for the memristor, as it has to receive more than one signal in quick succession before it will become active—again, a bit like a neuron. … [Read more...] about Memristor that forgets makes a good model neuron

Avoiding vaccine-related fraudThe FBI urges people to be wary of any email, text message or phone call that comes from a sender you don't recognize and offers information about the coronavirus vaccine. As with any message from an unknown sender, don't click, download or share your password.
