CLEVELAND \u2014 <\/p>\n

A smarter flu shot on the horizon<\/h3>\n

The same mRNA technology behind COVID-19 vaccines may soon supercharge your annual flu shot. A major clinical trial\u00a0finds an experimental mRNA flu vaccine cuts confirmed flu illness by about 27 percent compared to standard-dose shots \u2014 and the protection holds across age groups, strains and underlying health conditions, including adults 65 and older who face the greatest risk.<\/p>\n

Side effects are slightly more common than with standard shots \u2014 injection site pain and fatigue among them \u2014 but most are mild and short-lived. The Food and Drug Administration expects to decide on approval by August 5th.<\/p>\n

It sounds like something out of a children’s book, but some mice actually sing. Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory\u00a0have discovered that certain rodents communicate through a unique buzz-like song lasting up to 16 seconds. Using a specialized sequencing technique that maps individual neurons and their connections throughout the brain, scientists found these mice carry expanded neural pathways that broaden their vocal range.<\/p>\n
