New paper from @mdanderson.bsky.social @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social @niaidnews.bsky.social @natnano.nature.com. We dev a bispecific nanobody to neutralize flu and SARS-CoV-2 & to reduce viral transmission. It’s a tribute to the late Dr. Charles Chan, who inspired this work.

This week's new issue of #ScienceTranslationalMedicine is out now! An experimental trial could reshape patient monitoring and therapy research in glioblastoma, RNA vaccines can protect large animals from new strains of H5N1, and more. scim.ag/3KYkXvi
The cover shows a three-dimensional rendering of a brain MRI from a patient with glioblastoma who participated in a clinical trial evaluating an oncolytic virotherapy and testing feasibility of serial biopsy acquisition.
