Exploring the Development of Vaccine Platforms, With a Particular Focus on the COVID‐19 Pandemic
ABSTRACT Vaccines have been a cornerstone of human health for more than 200 years and one of the most important tools to reduce childhood deaths caused by pathogens. The concept of vaccines is basically to take something safe, make it immunogenic and induce an immune response in the host that will protect it against something dangerous. Live attenuated

Human brain matters: Navigating the neuropathology of COVID‐19
Severe COVID‐19 is associated with vascular dysregulation and chronic neuroinflammation, leading to axonal injury and neurodegeneration. In long COVID or PASC, persistent alterations in neuroimaging and biofluid biomarkers reflect ongoing neuronal damage and neuroinflammation, contributing to long‐term neurological symptoms including fatigue, cognitive

Plant‐Based Production of Human Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II Molecules
ABSTRACT Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) protein triggers adaptive immune responses by presenting antigens on antigen‐presenting cells (APCs) to be recognised by CD4+ T cells. Recombinant MHC II proteins are effective for the analysis of peptide‐binding interaction, detection of antigen‐specific T‐cells and clinical testing for donor‐

Bacteriophage P22 Virus‐Like Particles as Nanoscale Protein Scaffolds for Plant Synthetic Biology
ABSTRACT Advancing the utility of plant synthetic biology requires the continued development of protein engineering tools. Self‐assembling protein compartments, such as virus‐like particles (VLPs), provide versatile scaffolds for synthetic biology. However, few plant‐expressed VLPs have demonstrated broad amenability to protein engineering, restricting
