A Surprising Discovery Recent research from the University of Florida and MD Anderson Cancer Center finds that the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines may help cancer patients live longer when taken close to the start of immunotherapy. Over 1,000 patients with advanced lung cancer and melanoma were part of these studies. It was observed that receiving an mRNA COVID vaccine within 100 days of beginning immunotherapy resulted in far better survival. What the Studies Found In advanced lung cancer, patients...

What are they? Nanozymes are nanomaterials that copy the job of enzymes. They turn one chemical into another, often following the same basic enzyme rules. Nanozymes are cheaper, stronger, and easier to store than natural enzymes. Why do they matter? Natural enzymes can be fragile, expensive, and very sensitive to pH and temperature while nanozymes are stable and flexible. Scientists are able to change their size, shape, or surface, to control how well they work. What are they made of? Metals...
