The Bird Flu Virus Is Mutating Fast – And Scientists Say Our Vaccines May Not Be Enough

H5N1 influenza is evolving rapidly, weakening the effectiveness of existing antibodies and increasing its potential threat to humans. Scientists at UNC Charlotte and MIT used high-performance computational modeling to analyze thousands of viral protein-antibody interactions, revealing a decline in immune response effectiveness. Their research suggests that H5N1 mutations may soon enable human-to-human transmission, raising pandemic […] Read More
