Method for Production of Self-Replicating, Nucleic Acid-Loaded Virus-Like Particles in plants
Vaccines are an essential tool in preventing and controlling many diseases. Most approved vaccines are inactivated or live attenuated type, however, alternative platforms like mRNA and virus-like particles (VLPs) are being increasingly explored and approved because they generate potent immune responses with great safety profiles. VLPs are particularly...

Plant-Produced mAbs Against Chikungunya Virus
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito‐borne alphavirus, characterized by fever and severe joint pain. The joint pain is often debilitating and can vary in duration, sometimes lasting for years. There are currently no vaccines or therapeutic treatments for CHIKV, instead symptom relief is the primary focus with administration of bed rest, antipyretics/analgesics...

Plant-based Production of an Antibody Therapeutic for West Nile Virus
In the past decade, West Nile Virus (WNV) in the United States has resulted in more than 29,000 diagnosed cases of infection. These infections can lead to severe neurological disease, long-term morbidity, and in some cases even death. There are no effective and specific antiviral treatments for infection by WNV. There are no currently approved vaccines...

Monolithic White and Multi-Color Lasers Tunable in Full Visible Spectrum
Semiconductor lasers able to emit over the full visible color spectrum have a wide range of practical applications such as solid-state lighting, full-color displays, visible color communications, and multi-color fluorescence sensing. To the human eye, light with a mixture of four monochromatic lasers is visually equivalent to a white illuminant. Current...
