New HIV vaccine shows unprecedented success in primate studies5:51 A groundbreaking new HIV vaccine has shown unprecedented success in primates-and data published in Nature suggest the vaccine has the potential to protect humans from developing HIV infection and AIDS. Botanical prebiotics may steer skin microbes toward healthier balance5:18 Researchers tested plant-derived prebiotic candidates against selected skin-associated bacteria and found that garlic, flaxseed, and mango ginger extracts inhibited S. aureus or acne-associated C. acnes in vitro. Onion and guduchi extracts modestly promoted S. epidermidis, suggesting a microbiome-targeted skincare route that now needs validation in skin models and human studies. Monoclonal antibody shows promise for treating acute respiratory distress syndrome5:18 Doctors have few options for patients who develop a life-threatening lung condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS. Study links DNA methylation to aggressive prostate cancer behavior4:42 The prostate is the single organ most frequently afflicted by cancer in men.

Review highlights strong safety and effectiveness of mRNA vaccines4:42 A comprehensive new review published in The Lancet affirms that currently approved mRNA vaccines are safe and highly effective at preventing infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Vitamins A and D may support healthier lungs in asthma patients4:42 Higher levels of circulating vitamin A are linked to better lung function in children and adults with asthma, while vitamin D shows similar benefits in adults, including slower biological ageing, finds the first study of its kind, published online in the respiratory journal Thorax.
