A New Way to Transport Vaccines and Detect Zika and Ebola
To get a vaccine from a factory to a child who needs it, you often need to cross countries, if not continents.Across that distance, vaccines are relayed through a "cold chain" of insulated boxes, freezers, vehicles, and depots.The chain is as fragile as it is necessary: If any link fails, the life-saving cargo would rapidly thaw and irreversibly degrade.

Two Promising Zika Vaccines Announced
Two Promising Zika Vaccines Announced
Two vaccines against Zika virus developed at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have successfully conveyed immunity from female mice to pups conceived weeks after the mother's vaccination, according to a news release.When challenged with Zika virus within a week of their birth, both vaccines protected the pups against neurological damage better than pups with no maternal-conferred immunity.The results are published online today and scheduled for the November issue of EBioMedicine, a journal supported by CellPress and The Lancet.
