Outsmarting influenza evolution: predicting antigenic escape for better vaccines

Updated: 13 October 2026 
Influenza A viruses are constantly evolving. Changes in their major surface protein, haemagglutinin (HA), can allow them to escape antibodies generated by previous infection or vaccination, which is one reason influenza vaccines need regular updating. Read more

Do common ancient gene regulatory programmes govern both neural and pancreatic fates throughout vertebrate evolution?

Updated: 13 October 2026 
Vertebrate development depends on precise regulation of genes that specify cell identity. Many developmental transcription factor (TF) genes are controlled by highly conserved non-coding elements (HCNEs), regulatory DNA sequences preserved across hundreds of millions of years of vertebrate evolution.
