The commercial success of RNA vaccines for COVID-19 has revved up interest in circular RNAs as the next generation of therapies. The commercial success of RNA vaccines for COVID-19 has revved up interest in circular RNAs as the next generation of therapies.
New real-world registry data comparing the redesigned valve to the first-generation ACURATE neo suggest that small changes can lead to big improvements.

They are 50,000 times thinner than a human hair, and just a few atoms thick: two-dimensional materials are the thinnest substances it is possible to make today. They have completely new properties and are regarded as the next major step in modern semiconductor technology. In the future they could be used instead of silicon in computer chips, light-emitting diodes and solar cells. Until now, the development of new two-dimensional materials has been limited to structures with layers of rigid chemical bonds in two spatial directions - like a sheet of paper in a stack. Now for the first time, a research team from the universities of Marburg, Giessen and Paderborn, led by Dr. Johanna Heine (Inorganic Chemistry, Philipps University of Ma
