A new vaccine technology effective in mice against a broad range of coronaviruses – including ones we do not even know about – has been developed by researchers. The scientists at the University of Cambridge, University of Oxford and Calech say such ‘proactive vaccinology’ can help protect against future disease outbreaks. The ‘Quartet Nanocage’ vaccine trains the body’s immune system to recognise specific regions of eight different coronaviruses. These include SARS-CoV-2 – which caused Covid-19 – and several that are currently circulating in bats that have potential to jump to humans and caus…
