Now the creatures' skeletal remains appear to have been found in an Iron Age dig near Cordoba. ... [Read More]

Feb 15th, 2026 - A novel nasal booster approach may help close the gap between systemic vaccination and infection-blocking mucosal immunity, offering fresh insight into next-generation COVID vaccine strategies.  Study: Intranasal booster drives class switching and homing of memory B cells for mucosal IgA response Current intramuscular vaccines excel at eliciting blood-based immunity but sometimes fail to prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission, a discrepancy attributed to their inability to induce a response in the upper respiratory mucosa. However, the present study evaluated immune responses rather than ... [Read More]

Feb 15th, 2026 - "It's only possible because of the incredibly talented workforce we have." A Crew Dragon spacecraft docked with the International Space Station on Valentine's Day, and astronauts popped open the hatches at 5:14 pm ET (22:14 UTC) on Saturday evening.
