Nobel Prize Awarded to mRNA Pioneers Who Paved the Way for COVID-19 Vaccines
It was an unlikely collaboration, and it began in an unlikely place, but the partnership that Katalin Kariko and Dr. Drew Weissman formed in the 1990s at the University of Pennsylvania has now led to a shared Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.
Kariko and Weissman were awarded the Nobel for their work in tweaking the genetic material mRNA to make it more amenable to working in vaccines. Their discovery led to the first approved mRNA vaccines, targeting the COVID-19 virus, in 2020. And that success is seeding mRNA-based strategies across a number of different conditions, including other infectious diseases as well as...

Our Vocabulary Is Adapting to a Hotter Planet
Discussions of climate change began even before Broecker’s paper, without any of the white-hot rhetoric that has characterized much of our approach to the issue since. In 1973, a team of environmental scientists published a paper in MIT Press under the title “Study of Man’s Impact on Climate.” They labeled that impact “inadvertent climate modification.” The phrasing, while accurate enough, never caught on. NexisLexis counts just 11 uses of the term from 1968 to 2023, with the earliest occurring on Feb. 9, 1988, on a PBS program about math and science education.

What turns an ant into a soldier or a forager? It may be all in their heads
Most worker carpenter ants have one of two fates: They either become foragers who look for food or soldiers who defend the nest. Levels of key hormones influence which role they crawl into. Now, a new study shows the ants’ blood-brain barrier plays a crucial role in this decision, regulating how much of one critical hormone seeps into developing ants’ brains by actively breaking it down. The findings, published last week in
Cell
, suggest
the blood-brain barrier may play a previously unappreciated role in influencing social behavior in animals
, including mammals, the authors argue.

Evidence-based clinical practice guideline for the pharmacologic management of acute dental pain in children: A report from the American Dental Association Science and Research Institute, the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, and the Center for Integrative Global Oral Health at the University of Pennsylvania
Conclusions and practical implications:
Nonopioid medications, specifically nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen alone or in combination with
acetaminophen, are recommended for managing acute dental pain after 1 or
more tooth extractions (that is, simple and surgical) and the temporary
management of toothache in children (conditional recommendation, very
low certainty). According to the US Food and Drug Administration, the
use of codeine and tramadol in children for managing acute pain is
contraindicated. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)
