Trans-Tasman research collaborators from Te Herenga Waka— Victoria University of Wellington's Ferrier Research Institute and the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research in New Zealand, and the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Australia have developed an mRNA-based vaccine that can effectively target and stimulate protective immune cell responses against the malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium in preclinical models. Ferrier Research Institute's Professor Gavin Painter says the approach is distinctive, as the team leveraged years of prior research from the University of Melbourne's Professor Bill Heath at the Doherty Institute and Professor Ian Hermans from the Malaghan Institute.

WASHINGTON - U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has authorized the first transfer of forfeited Russian assets for use in Ukraine, he said on Wednesday. The Justice Department last year charged Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev with violating sanctions imposed on Russia after its invasion of Ukraine, saying he provided financing for Russians promoting separatism in Crimea. At that time, Garland said, he also announced "the seizure of millions of dollars from an account at a U.S. financial institution traceable to Malofeyev's sanctions violations.

Loud explosions rock the evening sky. Streaks of light appear like comets. Missiles rain down. Below, people scramble for cover. The injured are taken on stretchers – the dead, buried.   That is daily life in Ukraine , where pilotless vehicles known as drones litter the sky in an endless video gamelike – but actually very real – war with Russia.    Both Russia and Ukraine are using drones in this war to remotely locate targets and drop bombs, among other purposes.   Today, drones are used in various other conflicts but are also used to deliver packages , track weather , drop pesticides , and entertain drone hobbyists.

The unborn baby 'remote controls' its mother's metabolism so the two are in a nutritional tug of war. The mother's body wants the baby to survive but needs to keep enough glucose and fats circulating in her system for her own health, to be able to deliver the baby, breastfeed and to reproduce again. A new study from the University of Cambridge published today examines how the placenta communicates with the mother through the release of hormones so she will accommodate her baby's growth. The placenta is a vital organ that develops with the fetus in pregnant women and other female mammals to support the developing fetus.
