An inhalable "aerogel" loaded with DNA that encodes for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein successfully induces an immune response against COVID-19 in the lungs of mice, according to new research conducted at Penn State. The team said its aerogel could be used to create an inhalable vaccine that blocks SARS-CoV-2 transmission by preventing the virus from establishing an infection in the lungs.

Resist the resistance: Fighting the good fight against bacteria A research team led by Scott Medina, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Penn State, has developed a small protein that can target a specific pathogen to attach to and destroy without harming good bacteria.

WennersHerron January 06, 2021 UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Drug-resistant bacteria could lead to more deaths than cancer by 2050, according to a report commissioned by the United Kingdom in 2014 and jointly su...
New peptide can target specific pathogen without damaging the good bacteria Drug-resistant bacteria could lead to more deaths than cancer by 2050, according to a report commissioned by the United Kingdom in 2014 and jointly supported by the U.K. government and the Wellcome Trust. In an effort to reduce the potential infection-caused 10 million deaths worldwide, Penn State researcher Scott Medina has developed a peptide, or small protein, that can target a specific pathogen without damaging the good bacteria that bolsters the immune system. Medina, an assistant professor of biomedical engineer...
